ABOUT THIS WINE
Le Petit Têtu is crafted by the visionary natural winemaker Jean-Marie Berrux, who established his estate in Meursault in the early 2000s. The name, which translates to 'the little stubborn one,' perfectly captures Berrux's uncompromising attitude toward chemical-free viticulture and additive-free winemaking. While historically celebrated for his vibrant Chardonnay, this Pinot Noir bottling under the SAS Le Petit Têtu label represents his dedication to capturing the pure, unadulterated essence of Burgundy's signature red grape through organic and biodynamic practices.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process follows strict natural principles. Grapes are hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards. Fermentation is carried out using only indigenous yeasts in neutral oak vessels to avoid masking the fruit with heavy wood influences. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration, and with little to no added sulfur, preserving its raw energy, bright fruit character, and living texture.
