AboutDomaine de la Sarazinière
Domaine de la Sarazinière was founded in Bussières in the 1920s, and its cellar dates to 1926. Philippe Trébignaud represents the third generation, with his son Guillaume gradually taking over as the fourth. Their ten hectares lie in Bussières, Serrières and Fuissé, with many vines around sixty years old and some older.
Chardonnay and Gamay lead the plantings, alongside a small parcel of Aligoté. The vineyards are certified organic and harvested by hand. Fermentation uses native yeasts; the wines are generally left unfined, with light filtration only when needed.

French Red
White pepper, dark spice, kirsch and dried herbs appear with smooth, integrated tannins and a long savoury finish. Gamay comes from a south-facing lieu-dit in Bussières on deep alkaline clay-limestone soils. The vines were planted between the 1930s and 1950s and are seventy to ninety years old. Fully destemmed fruit receives a long, cool maceration lasting nearly one month. Maturation lasts ten to twelve months in neutral oak barrels.

French White
White peach and ripe apple lead, with citrus, white flowers and a chalky mineral note adding lift. The palate is rounded yet energetic, its old-vine concentration held in balance by bright acidity and a clean, saline finish. It suits grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy vegetable dishes or soft-ripened cheeses.

French White
Bright citrus and white peach lead into crisp orchard fruit, with a fine mineral line giving the palate shape. There is a quiet generosity beneath the freshness, balanced by clean acidity and a lightly textured finish. Composed and versatile, it is well suited to roast chicken, firm white fish or creamy vegetable dishes.
