Didier Montchovet

Didier Montchovet created his biodynamic vineyard in ’84. He leased a modest half a hectare not too far from Pommard and five years later he added an additional two and a half hectares, which enabled him to begin making wine under his own name. In ’90 Didier sold his first bottling. Today Didier works 9.2 hectares of biodynamic vines near the village of Bouze-les-Beaune, which is approximately 4 kilometers northwest of Beaune. The cellar was conceived to make maximum use of gravity, as a result no pumps are used during the bottling process. Didier also has a system that recuperates rainwater, helping him conserve this natural resource during the spring and summer. Didier is committed to making outstanding Biodynamic wines and the results of his efforts are a vibrant testimony to the harmony that can exist between winemaker and nature. STU NORTHEY Anonymous Wine
