Domaine Didon 〰️
Domaine Didon, founded in 2017 by Naïma and David Didon, is a 2-hectare biodynamic estate in Chassey-le-Camp, within the AOC Bouzeron, Burgundy’s only village appellation for Aligoté. Located on the southeast-facing“Les Vignes Blanches” vineyard, their plot features Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Aligoté vinesplanted between 1947 and 1960 on mineral-rich clay-limestone soils over gray marl. David, a seasonedviticulturist, worked over a decade at Domaine de Montille in Volnay, leading its biodynamic conversion, andtrained with natural wine pioneers Julien Altaber and Dominique Derain in Saint-Aubin.
Naïma and Davidpractice biodynamic farming, using horses to minimize soil compaction, homeopathic treatments, andagroforestry (planting trees in the vineyard). Their hands-off cellar approach includes whole-bunch pressing forwhites, 10-day maceration for reds, and fermentation in amphorae, barrels, or fiberglass with no additions, fining,or filtration, and minimal sulfur at bottling. Cuvées like Bourgogne Aligoté, Bourgogne Blanc (Chardonnay-PinotBlanc-Aligoté blend),
Bourgogne Rouge (Pinot Noir), and À Bulles Perdues (sparkling Riesling-Muscat fromAlsace) are vibrant, crystalline, and terroir-driven. Approximately 70–80% of their production is exported
