ALERT NEW PRODUCER
Domaine La Mutine is based in Island in the Vézelay area of northern Burgundy, a quieter, raw corner of the region. Founded in 2022 by Jean-Paul Pando after experience in Provence, Margaux and Meursault with Jean-Marc Roulot, it reflects a deliberate break from convention. Farming 2.5 hectares organically, he works entirely by hand on limestone soils, crafting wines of precision, salinity and freshness. Frost has pushed him to complement production with carefully sourced négociant fruit, always from Burgundy and with a preference for the northern part. In the cellar, minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentations and mainly stainless steel preserve purity, while a small reserve kept on lees allows subtle blending to add depth and texture when needed

2 - happy Vezelay vineyard
3 - Champs Cadet in Asquins, the Vezelay vineyard
4 - fossils in Sur Les Roches in Saint Pére with very shallow limestone soils
5 - Champs Cadet in Asquins where the limestone is even older and more compact

It's exciting to see a new producer highlighting Vézelay's unique terroir! 🌿 We also cherish the art of spontaneous fermentation and respectful vineyard practices. Curious, how do you think limestone influences the wine's freshness and minerality? 🍇
