Domaine La Soeur Cadette 〰️
The Domaine de La Soeur Cadette stands as a beacon of organic and natural winemaking in Vézelay, Burgundy. Established in 1987 by the Montanet family, the estate is now under the skilled leadership of Valentin Montanet. After reclaiming and replanting 12.5 hectares of hillside vineyards, the domaine achieved AOC Bourgogne Vézelay status in 1997 for its exceptional Chardonnay wines. Today, the vineyard spans 18 parcels across four communes within the appellation: Asquins, Saint-Père, Tharoiseau, and Vézelay.
From Jean (the father) to Valentin (the son), the Montanet family exemplifies winemaking excellence, skillfully interpreting their terroir with authenticity and brilliance. Valentin Montanet has proven to be an adept winemaker, crafting wines that reflect his deep respect for tradition and nature.
Exceptional Natural Wines from Burgundy
At Domaine de La Soeur Cadette, Jean, Catherine, and Valentin Montanet have cultivated their vineyards organically for over 15 years. Located on the lands of the Bourgogne Vézelay appellation, the estate rejects chemical interventions, prioritizing biodiversity, soil health, and respect for the living environment. The result? Pure, vibrant wines with meticulous yet unobtrusive aging, standing in stark contrast to the overly robust Burgundies that, quite frankly, lack charm.
The wines from La Soeur Cadette are an undeniable treasure, offering a genuine and delightful expression of Burgundy. For wine lovers seeking authenticity and elegance, these wines are a must-discover.
