Domaine Denis Jeandeau is a family-owned estate in Le Bourg, Fuissé, Burgundy, where Denis Jeandeau combines ownership and winemaking. The domaine produces wines from appellations including Mâcon-Chardonnay, Saint-Véran, Viré-Clessé and Pouilly-Fuissé. Its vineyards are certified organic, and natural cork is used for all bottlings. Limited yields, including just 7 hl/ha in the 2020 Vieilles-Vignes parcel, reflect a modest production focused on carefully farmed Burgundy wines.
