Jessica Litaud
It is on her land, in Vergisson , that we meet Jessica Litaud in the spring of 2023. The name is then on the lips of many wine enthusiasts. The young winemaker trained with Jean-Marie Guffens and Jean-François Ganevat , two names that will speak to all lovers of natural wine .
When she returned to the family estate, Jessica decided to work alone, and therefore on a reduced surface area of 2.1 hectares . Everything is organic : weeding is done mechanically, no synthetic chemicals are used, no insecticides and no fungicides. To preserve the integrity of the grapes, Jessica favors manual harvesting in crates. The bunches are put in the cold for half a day before being pressed. The vinification is done without inputs , with the exception of a small dose of sulfur. The aging is systematically done in old oak barrels .
Jessica therefore vinifies the terroirs of Chaintré on different climates, and Pouilly-Fuissé on several 1er Crus . We are delighted to be able, as is often the case, to accompany Jessica from the beginning and follow her evolution over the coming vintages.
A work to discover as soon as possible for lovers of great Chardonnay .
