A Story of Passion and Determination
Founded in 2005 by Gilles and Fabienne Ballorin, Domaine Ballorin & F emerged from a deep passion for viticulture. Without a family winemaking background, Gilles, the son of a railway worker, embarked on this journey after a decade of experience in various Burgundy estates. Their path reflects an unwavering commitment to producing wines that faithfully represent the Burgundy terroir.
A Commitment to Biodynamics
From its inception, the estate embraced biodynamic principles, achieving Demeter certification in 2008. The 6 hectares of vineyards, spread across 23 plots in the Côte de Nuits, are cultivated with profound respect for nature. This approach aims to enhance the vitality of the soils and vines, allowing the grapes to fully express the unique characteristics of each terroir.
Wines Revealing the Purity of the Terroir
Domaine Ballorin & F offers a diverse range of wines, each highlighting the authenticity of its origin. Notable cuvées include Marsannay "Les Échezots," Fixin "Les Chenevières," and Nuits-Saint-Georges "Les Damodes." Each wine is crafted with meticulous attention, reflecting the richness and diversity of the Côte de Nuits terroirs.
Winemaking Combining Tradition and Modernity
Winemaking at the estate follows a minimalist approach, respecting the fruit and its environment. Harvesting is done by hand, and fermentations occur with indigenous yeasts. Aging primarily takes place in French oak barrels, with moderate use of new wood, preserving the balance and purity of the aromas.
Recognition and Future Prospects
Since its establishment, Domaine Ballorin & F has earned recognition from wine enthusiasts and critics for the quality and authenticity of its cuvées. With an annual production of approximately 20,000 bottles, the estate continues to grow, always guided by a passion for excellence and a deep respect for the Burgundy terroir.
