France

Domaine Thomas-Collardot spans just 2.5ha, with an unassuming winery situated off the main square in the heart of the village. From here, Jacqueline Collardot and son Matthieu produce a handful of detailed, tense and classic Puligny micro-cuvées.Jacqueline inherited her father's domaine, Pierre Thomas, in 2010, and produced her first vintage in 2015. After studying winemaking in Beaune, Matthieu joined her in 2018, and their portfolio of plots is now on its way to organic certification.In the winery they use meticulously old school methods: wines spend two winters in the cellar (in mostly old oak) before being bottled in March – this extra time allowing them to develop depth and body.The beauty of a small domaine is that the owners can do things exactly how they want. Production will only ever be tiny at Thomas-Collardot and yet there is plenty of definition between cuvées, from the intense mineral hit of the village-level 'Les Enseignères' (a vineyard directly beneath Grand Cru Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet, made famous by Coche-Dury) to the graceful yet vivid 1er Cru 'Hameau de Blagny'.
