Domaine Thibert is a family saga deeply rooted in the village of Fuissé since 1668. With a rich winemaking tradition, Andrée and René Thibert began with a small plot in 1967. In 1991, their son Christophe joined the family business, followed by his sister Sandrine in 1999, bringing a modern and dynamic approach to the Domaine.
Today, Christophe and Sandrine embody the family’s “savoir-faire,” blending generational knowledge with contemporary methods. The Domaine’s vineyards span across exceptional terroirs, many of which have been family-owned for eight generations. A defining feature of the Domaine is its ability to showcase the unique terroirs of all the Southern Mâconnais appellations, a rare achievement that highlights the excellence of the region.
Production Philosophy
The Domaine exclusively uses grapes from its own vineyards, a practice rooted in respect for their heritage. This commitment requires thoughtful and sometimes challenging decisions to ensure the long-term sustainability of their lands. The plots are cultivated using a “mixed” viticulture system, combining traditional and modern practices. Every step, from vine care to winemaking, ageing, and bottling, is meticulously planned to enhance terroir expression and deliver wines of purity, elegance, and freshness.
As Christophe says: “You can only bring out the best of a vineyard if you think about its long-term well-being.”
Appellations and Terroirs
The Domaine encompasses all the crus of Southern Burgundy and key Mâconnais appellations, including Saint-Véran, the three “Pouilly” (Fuissé, Loché, and Vinzelles), and the three Mâcon Villages (Fuissé, Prissé, and Verzé). Each wine is carefully crafted to reflect the unique character of its terroir, preserving the Domaine’s identity and philosophy.
Excellence and Longevity
Thanks to the quality of their grapes, the natural stability of the wines, and the meticulous management of the plots, Domaine Thibert’s wines are renowned for their ability to express terroir and age gracefully over time.
