This Mâcon Loché Cuvée du Clocher by Céline and Laurent Tripoz is distinguished by its freshness and harmonious balance. Crafted from Chardonnay grapes sourced from 25-year-old vines on clay-limestone soil, this wine benefits from meticulous vinification, including static settling and indigenous yeasts, followed by 8 months of aging on lees. Unchaptalized and low in sulfur, it exhibits a beautiful minerality on the finish. Ideal as an aperitif or with cheeses such as Comté or dry goat cheese.

Domaine Tripoz
In the Mâconnais region, Domaine Tripoz cultivates its vineyard biodynamically, on clay-limestone soils characteristic of the sub-region. The viticultural practices aim for natural balance and optimal ripeness, in order to preserve the distinctiveness of the grape varieties and terroirs.
Chardonnays form the core of the production. They exhibit broad and structured profiles, supported by consistent tension that provides balance and length. The aging processes are meticulously managed, alternating between vats and barrels depending on the cuvées, with the aim of nurturing the wine's substance without over-complicating its expression.
Pinot Noirs, produced in smaller quantities, offer wines with clear fruit and a fluid texture, prioritizing suppleness and drinkability. The entire range of cuvées is characterized by remarkable overall consistency, featuring precise, balanced, and expressive wines that are true to the Mâconnais identity.
