Domaine Florent Garaudet is a small, family-run estate located in the village of
Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune.
Approximately 60% of the three-hectare estate is planted with Pinot Noir in vineyards
surrounding Monthelie, while Chardonnay accounts for 40% covering the appellations
of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet.
The grapes come from several terroirs in the Monthelie appellation, from old vines
(vieilles vignes) with an average age of 45 years. The vines are sustainably cultivated to
respect the equilibrium of the environment, with the objective of limiting treatments to
what is strictly necessary to obtain a harvest in the best possible condition. Careful
pruning ensures foliage is left from a height of one metre, so the grapes have sufficient
leaves to synthesise the natural sugars. This labour intensive pruning also encourages
aeration of the bunches and optimal sunlight exposure. 90% of the work is done by
hand, and only by professionals using the purest Burgundian traditions, to ensure a
modest yield of high quality, ripe fruit. Manually harvested at optimum maturity.
