The estate

Located in La Chapelle-de-Guinchay, on the border between Beaujolais and Burgundy, the estate was officially founded in 2007. At its helm, current owner Fabien Duperray, a former merchant for prestigious estates, implements a radical and streamlined vision of winegrowing at Domaine Jules Desjourneys. Spanning around twenty hectares, the property stands out for its biodynamic approach, very low yields and soil work carried out with horses. The estate is today recognised for its wines of great precision, faithfully reflecting the identity of their terroirs.

The vineyard

The cuvée comes from a plot located within the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation. This high-altitude terroir, reaching around 400 metres, extends from the base to the top of the Fuissé hillside. Cultivated biodynamically and certified organic, the old vines benefit from meticulous care, without any chemical inputs, allowing grapes of great purity to be obtained.

Winemaking and aging

The winemaking of Pouilly-Fuissé "Vignes de la Côte" Village 2022 draws inspiration from the methods of the Burgundian masters. Fermentations are rigorously controlled to allow the aromas to develop fully. Aging takes place entirely in oak barrels, of which about 20% are new. These are first rinsed with hot water in order to soften the tannic impact of the wood and preserve the finesse of the fruit.
