Jérôme Guichard, after several years of apprenticeship, in 2011 purchased just under three hectares of old Chardonnay vineyards, in Montbellet in Mâconnais from the great Guy Blanchard, thus founding Domaine Sauveterre. The isolated vineyards surrounded by forests are planted on clay and limestone soil. His interpretations of Chardonnay are very peculiar, with a liveliness and a spectrum of aromas that we rarely associate with grapes. Recently, Jérôme acquired just over one hectare of Gamay vineyards, planted in 1946, located in the woods at the foot of a volcanic mountain and possessing a palpable sense of energy derived from his soils. A real encounter between Mâconnais and Beaujolais.
