Jean-Claude was using biodynamic techniques at the outset but phased them out two years ago for less-intervention, Fukuoka-esque farming. There is no turning of the soil, no treatments in the vines, only mowing the grass a couple times each summer. Grapes are hand-harvested by Jean-Claude, pressed slowly in a pneumatic press. Aging takes place in French oak barrels for approximately one year before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the domaine: \u003c\/strong\u003eJean-Claude Taddei, a professor at the local business school in nearby Angers, runs Maison Jaune — what has to be the smallest winery in Savennières. It’s a pure garagiste operation; Jean-Claude farms mostly by himself and ages the few barrels of wine he makes each year in the larder of his 17th century manor house. Far from a gimmick, the wines are stunning, some of the best new Chenin we’ve tasted in a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bien Élevé","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50617896665368,"sku":"Maison Jaune Savennières 2022","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/5775\/4904\/files\/7B79C464-B68B-46E4-8A85-F39DCCE76422.png?v=1757446864"},{"product_id":"savennieres-lam-2023","title":"Savennières \"l'AM\" 2023","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eJean-Claude Taddei has a new venture called Domaine de l’AM, making Savennières with a four of his business school professor friends.
