Saint Madeleine

Domaine Saint-Madeleine is located in Tharoiseau, and makes wines in the Vézelay appellation. Alexandre and Blandine Le Corguillé founded the domaine in 2020, and are both agronomists and oenologists. Back in 2016, they bought 4 hectares ofa southeast-facing hillside where they were able to start planting 1 hectare of Chardonnay. They were subsequently able to acquire several parcels in the surrounding area, most notably the Saulniersparcel in the commune of Saint-Père.
The estate's vines are farmed organically. The couple pays close attention to plant material, sourcing from a producer in Savoie who also supplies Domaine Raveneau with Chardonnay plants. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted before being pressed in whole bunches. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place naturally. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats. A little SO2 is added at bottling.
The winery is temporarily housed at La Soeur Cadette, until a new one can be found.
We've been seduced by the precision and freshness of the domaine 's whites, and can't wait to follow their evolution!
