The domaine is just one of four producers who are estate bottling in Mâcon-Loché. Working with old chardonnay vines that have been passed down through generations of the Couturier family, Marcel began estate-bottling in 2005. The family has made a name for themselves throughout France and export markets for punching well above what the \"Burgundy cognoscenti\" consider the Mâconnais is capable of. The truth of the matter is that Domaine Couturier consistently produces soulful white Burgundies with exceptional transparency, complexity, and depth that often best wines from much more famous chardonnay addresses further north, all while offering consistently exceptional value. The Couturier family likes to take their time, working intuitively, respecting each terroir and resulting wine. Descending from many generations of farmers in the Mâconnais, Marcel Couturier is very patient and pragmatic in the vineyard and the cellar, allowing time for each wine to reveal itself. Marcel has stood out as a traditionalist with old vines and high standards in an area quickly defining itself as a source of top-notch white Burgundy. Farming is meticulous at Domaine Couturier, employing only certified organic (Ecocert 2021) and certified biodynamic (Demeter 2022) methods. They work soils with ground cover between rows to regenerate the hard, poor clay soils, which greatly benefit from the aeration and the introduction of native organic materials. Auxence has brought his passion for regenerative farming and natural wines to the winery, which has only resulted in greater transparency in the wines. Their farming style could be described as regenerative in that they take great care to improve the soil in each vineyard, paying close attention to what each vineyard needs based on its individual soil type. They let their chickens, geese, and guinea fowl roam the vineyards for natural pest control and to add valuable nitrogen to the poor Burgundian soils. As the summers get warmer in Burgundy, they keep a keen eye to pick each vineyard at exactly the right moment to maintain the crucial element of acidity, providing freshness and liveliness in their wines.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-12-26T15:48:25-05:00","created_at":"2023-12-21T16:45:53-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Nika2112","Other_Wine","Producer_Marcel Couturier","Region_Maconnais","Source_WineOnlineDelivery1223","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":14999,"price_min":14999,"price_max":14999,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44096020938890,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"2018 | Marcel Couturier | Saint-Veran La Cour des Bois","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":14999,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/10_d48f1d13-08cb-4cf5-ae06-c70a4ecd143c.jpg?v=1703195184"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/10_d48f1d13-08cb-4cf5-ae06-c70a4ecd143c.jpg?v=1703195184","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2018 | Marcel Couturier | Saint-Veran La Cour des Bois at CaskCartel.com","id":25737366896778,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.31,"height":1200,"width":372,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/10_d48f1d13-08cb-4cf5-ae06-c70a4ecd143c.jpg?v=1703195184"},"aspect_ratio":0.31,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/10_d48f1d13-08cb-4cf5-ae06-c70a4ecd143c.jpg?v=1703195184","width":372}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2018 | Marcel Couturier | Saint-Veran La Cour des Bois\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis straw-colored wine shows notes of chalk, candied fruit, and pastry finishing long and broadly on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcel Couturier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e France, Maconnais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis straw-colored wine shows notes of chalk, candied fruit, and pastry finishing long and broadly on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\nDomaine Couturier is led by the legendary Marcel Couturier, who comes from a long line of vignerons in the southern Mâconnais, in conjunction with the next generation of the domaine: his daughter Cladie and son Auxence.
