Introduction
The domain is situated in the heart of Maconnais, between Macon and Cluny. The tradition has been passed down from father to son since several generation.The vineyard covers 35 hectares and produces about 2000 hl per year.
We practise integrate agriculture and try to combine the traditional know-how with modern oenology to produce good terroir wine.
Cedric Chene is the 5th generation to make wine on the family estate in southern Burgundy. The estate of 30 ha is located about 60 km north of Macon. They produce only about 10,000 cases a year of several cuvees.
In order to make better wines, a new cellar was constructed with modern equipments. The modernization associated with traditional know-how assure an opitimal security and permit them to make high quality wines.
They plant the vines issued directly from their plant nursery. The vineyard is on a slope of clay limestone with very good sun exposure. They practice the integrated management of vineyard (tillage, non-residual weeding, reduction of treatment.). The grapes are harvested at the maximum point of maturity.
The wines are vinified with different kind of Burgundy varieties (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Aligote) and thus they have a relatively big range of products.
