Domaine Charlopin Tissier

Domaine Charlopin Tissier is located in Morey-Saint-Denis , in the Côte des Nuits in Burgundy . It was created in 2013 by Yann Charlopin (the son of Philippe Charlopin in Gevrey-Chambertin) and his wife Justine Tissier . After studying oenology in Beaune and spending time producing wine in Tasmania, Sancerre and Chablis, Yann Charlopin returned home to work alongside his father. When the opportunity presented itself to acquire part of the vines of Justine's family in Marsannay, and with a clear vision of the wines he wanted to create, Yann could not pass up the opportunity to embark on his account. Today, the couple operates 4 hectares of vines conducted in organic farming, not certified .

The Marsannay comes from the Les Longeroies climat , currently being studied by the INAO to be classified as a Premier Cru. This vineyard was planted in 2015 by Charlopin Tissier.
The vines are grown organically and a simple guyot pruning is used. All the work in the vineyard is done by hand. The vines are planted at a density of 10,000 plants per hectare.
Once harvested, all the grapes are destemmed, undergo a cold maceration and ferment with natural yeasts. Yann prefers a long and slow lifting on the fine lees. The grapes are pressed in the tank and decanted in barriques where they rest for 16 months. Aged in barrique (30% new) for 16 months. Bottled without any filtration.
