Domaine de la Creuze Noire is a producer based in Mâcon, in the southern part of Burgundy. The domaine focuses exclusively on white wines, working with the Chardonnay grape across two distinct appellations within the region: Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé.
The Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations are known for producing mineral-driven, food-friendly Chardonnays that sit at a different stylistic point than their counterparts further north in the Côte d'Or. Wines from this area tend toward brightness and acidity rather than heavy oak influence, reflecting the limestone-rich soils and continental climate of southern Burgundy. These are benchmark expressions of unoaked or lightly oaked Burgundian Chardonnay.
The domaine's current range includes a Pouilly-Fuissé and bottlings from the Mâcon-Fuissé sub-appellation, specifically a cuvée called Les Châtaigniers. This single-vineyard designation reflects the producer's focus on expressing terroir specificity within their micro-region. The availability of recent vintages (2022–2023) indicates current production is consistent and accessible.
