Domaine
Bernard & Thierry Glantenay
Thierry Glantenay has taken over at his family domaine and is now producing exquisite, ethereal Volnay from it’s best terroirs and full, powerful Pommard from its best terroirs, in fact the Glantenay’s posses most of the great red terroirs from the Coté de beaune.
Thierry also has a small but brilliantly sited plot of Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatiéres which has 80 year old vines.
He only produces a few hundred bottles a year though and has loyal customers for it.
Thierry is a meticulous and talented winemaker, who uses no more than twenty-five percent new oak for any of his top wines, allowing for a beautiful symthesis of pure fruit, delicate framing and a beautifully transcribed expression of terroir in each and every wine.
There is a refined elegance and perfumed precision to the Glantenay wines that is very special indeed.
