Domaine Thomas Collardot
A hidden treasure from Puligny-Montrachet
Domaine Thomas-Collardot is a small, family-run winery with 2.5 hectares of vineyards in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet – one of the most renowned wine-growing areas in the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. Since 2010, Jacqueline Collardot has been running the winery with passion and respect, continuing a precious family tradition.
The vineyards have been in the family for three generations and were managed by Jacqueline's father, Pierre Thomas, until 1992. After years of leasing them to his cousins, Jacqueline took over responsibility – a conscious step back to her roots, which she lives with dedication. In 2015, she launched her first wine, and since 2018, her son Matthieu has been working with her to continue the family history. For Jacqueline and Matthieu, winemaking is more than a profession – it is a legacy that preserves the soul of their vineyards from generation to generation.

The estate's wines are shaped by the unique «climats» of Puligny-Montrachet – distinct vineyard sites, each with its own microclimate, soil, altitude and orientation. In this case, they offer perfect conditions for Chardonnay, the estate's main grape variety. Organic cultivation and respect for the soil and biodiversity form the basis of their work. Every parcel, whether Village or Premier Cru, receives the same attention. The small size of the domaine allows each vine to be closely monitored and individually cared for in order to get the best out of every grape.
During vinification, they rely on natural yeasts and careful, almost loving care of each individual barrel: ‘During alcoholic fermentation, I monitor the temperature, must and development every day – almost like with a newborn baby. I listen, smell, taste and feel.’ You can sense this passion – and it is reflected in every glass of their wines.

The history of the Paolo Conterno winery dates back to 1886. With the founding of Casa della Ginestra in Monforte d'Alba, Paolo Conterno laid the foundation for a family tradition that is now continued in the fourth generation by Giorgio Conterno. The focus has always been on producing wines that authentically reflect their origin, character and vintage.
