DOMAINE EMMANUEL GIBOULOT AOP Terres Maconnaises Blanc 2022, France (White)

Son of Paul Giboulot, a pioneer in biodynamic viticulture in Burgundy, Emmanuel Giboulot has always advocated staunchly for an Earth-first approach to farming. Having been born into this eco-first attitude, Emmanuel came to know the biodynamic approach not as radical or cutting-edge, but just as "good sense." In fact, he is so dedicated to chemical-free farming that he was fined by the French government for refusing to spray his vines! He now farms 12 hectares of vineyards in the Côte de Beaune.
