The vines are planted on stony clay-limestone, averaging 40 years-old and are hand-harvested at the beginning of October. All vinification takes place in traditional Burgundian wood tank, 100% de-stemmed, pre-fermentation soak for 6 days followed by 27 day maceration and then one month of temperature controlled spontaneous fermentation; rested on lees for one year and aged for one year in 228L oak casks averaging 1-7 years-old.
Domaine Bonnardot is a family estate in Bonnecontre, near the Citeaux Abbey. Ludovic first began experimenting with natural winemaking as a teenager, with grapes from an old parcel of his grandfather’s. After studying winemaking at school, he returned to his family land in 2005 and began to convert the 15 ha, between Pommard and Santenay, to organic agriculture.
