Domaine des Gandines

🍷 Domaine des Gandines: Pure Expression of the Mâconnais

Located in Clessé, in the heart of Burgundy’s Mâconnais region, Domaine des Gandines is a family estate founded in 1925 and now run by the fourth generation of the Dananchet family. The 15-hectare vineyard has been organically farmed since 2009 and certified biodynamic (Demeter) since 2019. Horse plowing is used on some plots, and herbal teas (nettle, horsetail, willow…) are applied to support vine health.
