History:Jean-Paul and his family are responsible for every aspect of wine production at their Southern Burgundy domaine, from cultivating the grapes to winemaking and even the marketing.

Teeny, tiny is the best way to describe Domaine Thibert. There is a frightfully small production at this estate. Jean-Paul Thibert and his family cultivate 24 acres of vines, half of which they own, the other half they share crop. The estate vineyards as well as the leased parcels are all situated within the village of Fuisse, the finest of the four towns of the Pouilly Fuisse appellation. Due to the village's location in a series of dips and rises that retain the ripening rays of the sun and the perfect combination of limestone and slate in the commune's chalky soil, Fuisse produces the ripest and most flavorful of Pouilly Fuisse. Thibert's wine is no exception. Not surprisingly, Pouilly Fuisse is the one and only wine made at this estate, and it is produced entirely from Chardonnay.

Jean-Paul and his family are responsible for the cultivation, winemaking, and everything else done at this estate. All of the domaine's wine is fermented in a combination of stainless steel and Barrique, and then given ageing in barrel. No more than 5 barrels ever seem to get bottled for export.
