The unique soil and favourable exposure imparts the chardonnay grapes with a very distinct flavour.

The vineyard of Jean Thévenet is managed with a respect for tradition which has brought renown to the wines of Quintaine.

The vineyards are weeded mechanically and manual harvesting takes place at the last possible moment when the grapes are very ripe, displaying a beautiful golden colour (there is often the onset of noble rot).

Low yields and long fermentation without cultured yeast nor commercial bacteria give a wine with a golden hue and a perfect balance of fruit and flowers.

The Cuvées Traditions, Levroutées and Botrytisées, correspond to three different levels of ripeness and all produce, from a simple mâconnais, an exquisite nectar.
