This 7ha-estate in Gevingey just south of Lons-le-Saunier is run biodynamically and efficiently by Belgian couple Valérie and Fabrice Closset, who began it in 2008 after bags of vineyard experience. While their estate is dominated by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (from which they make an excellent 70%/30% blend for a Brut Zéro Crémant), Savagnin plantings are being increased, and recently they have planted Trousseau. Demi-muid larger-sized barrels are used for part of the Crémant base and a topped-up blend - oxidative wines are made when they have enough wine. The couple work hard on creating a sustainable future for their family with orchards, bee hives and more.
