Domaine Py, Chardonnay 2022

Over a glass of wine, Jean-Pierre Py will tell you how winemaking is in his blood. Py’s grandfather owned property in France near the village of Douzens, nestled between the Mediterranean sea and the Pyrenees mountains, and also worked as a local wine merchant. In 2003, Py began upgrading the winery and converting more than 300 acres of land to organic parcels, receiving organic certification five years later. “Terroir is our heritage and our strength,” he says. “I respect it, and believe in preserving it.”
