Domaines et Vins de Propriété - Bourgogne
ESTATE
The domaines belonging to Henri Cauvard and Jacqueline Frachet, a husband and wife team, are situated in Beaune, the capital of the Burgundy wine trade. Beaune is a town imbued with great charm, thanks to its world-famous medieval and architectural jewels, such as the Hôtel-Dieu.
This family-run property has been established in Beaune for 3 generations. The family is one of oldest in Aloxe-Corton: their ancestor, Simon Gagnerot, bought the first vineyards in 1681.
Henri and Jacqueline Cauvard own 16.5 hectares of vineyards spread over the Côte de Beaune, and have continued the family tradition of planting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines only.
VINE GROWERS
Henri and Jacqueline Cauvard are well-known in the region for the high quality of their wines. They are firmly focused on an integrated, sustainable approach to viticulture and seek to control the development of the vines (disease and parasites) as naturally as possible. The vineyards are managed in the traditional manner; most are ploughed and carefully controlled cover crops are used in the others. No chemical fertilisers are used, only natural composts.
In line with their perfectionist approach and their love of wine, they have had a very fine vaulted stone cellar built underneath their domaines, using ancient techniques.
WINE MAKING
Harvesting is prepared in the spring (debudding, green harvest). The grapes are picked by hand and sorted and then undergo temperature-controlled fermentation.
Each parcel is vinified separately.
The white wines:
The Côte de Beaune “Les Monts Battois”, Beaune “Clos de la Maladière” and Corton Charlemagne wines are vinified and aged in oak barrels until they reach their height of perfection.
The red wines:
Made from Pinot Noir grapes, the red wines undergo an 8 to 15-day vinification period to extract the colours, aromas and tannins that give them their framework and structure. The wines are aged in oak barrels, where they continue to develop their character.
