Jean-Marie Berrux took an unconventional route into winemaking. Originally from Savoie, he spent time working in advertising before leaving Paris to study viticulture and oenology in Beaune. He established his own domaine in the early 2000s and now farms just 1.5 hectares near Puligny-Montrachet, working biodynamically with a meticulous approach to the vineyard. A characteristically independent producer, Berrux makes small quantities of Chardonnay with native yeasts, old barrels and very little intervention.
Le Petit Têtu, meaning ‘the little stubborn one’, is made from Chardonnay planted in 1984 on deep clay and limestone soils around Corpeau, between Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. The grapes are gently pressed before fermenting spontaneously and spending around a year ageing on their lees in Burgundy barrels of varying ages. The result is a beautifully balanced white Burgundy, combining ripe orchard fruit, citrus and delicate floral notes with hints of spice and a distinctly saline, mineral finish. Generous in texture, but with plenty of freshness and precision.
