Macvin, NV

Philippe Chatillon was estate manager of Domaine de La Pinte for close to 18 years. In 2013, he decided to create his own vineyard, buying a hillside plot of Savagnin in Passenans. Then, he added plots with of Melon a Queue Rouge, Pinot Noir, Tousseau and Chardonnay and, exchanging his original Savagnin. He works his vineyard by hand, without the use of any chemical fertilizer. Soils are fed with biodynamic preparations. In the cellar, Philippe uses old oak, spontaneous fermentations and bottles without fining or filtration. He also works in bio-harmony, using vibrations from harps to aid in the wines balance.
