DOMAINE ERIC THILL

Eric has always had a wine streak for as long as he can remember. He hails from a family of wine growers and grew up at the base of the Schlossberg! He came from the Haut-Rhin in the Jura in 2007 with his wife after completing his studies in Dijon. They fell in love with this region and started from scratch. They built the entire domain with the exception of a 2,76-ha parcel they had purchased.

The vines are grown organically and certified by Ecocert since 2015. The domain also looks to biodynamic, just as soon as it is fully structured. In 2017, the domain reached 5,8 ha.
In the vines, only 1 out of every 2 rows is weeded, with disbudding and desuckering.

The terroirs

The vines were planted between 1976 and 1984 in four different locations:
· Les Grandes Vignes (marlstone, western exposure) including 1 ha of Chardonnay and 1,2 ha of Savagnin and 60 ares of Poulsard
· Sur Montboucon (clay-limestone, southern exposure) including 1,8 ha of Chardonnay
· Les Molates (yellow and blue marlstone, western exposure) including 40 ha of Chardonnay
· Les Longes Combes (deep clay) including 31 ares of Pinot Noir
