Domaine Mathias: the soul of southern Burgundy in organic farming

Domaine Mathias

A family estate in Chaintre, in the heart of the Maconnais, six generations since 1894. 12 hectares in organic farming (Ecocert). Chardonnay and Gamay: Pouilly-Fuisse, Pouilly-Vinzelles, Macon-Chaintre.

Set in Chaintre, in the heart of the Maconnais, Domaine Mathias is a family estate that has perpetuated the art of winegrowing in southern Burgundy for six generations. Committed to organic farming since 2010, the estate embodies the harmony between respect for the terroir, ancestral savoir-faire and exceptional wines.


A family of passionate winegrowers since 1894

It all begins with Antoine Charvet, a carpenter and winegrower, who in 1894 is awarded a diploma for the quality of his white wine in Chaintre. Since then, each generation, from Jean-Marie to Thibault Mathias today, has contributed to the estate, developing it with a modern and sustainable vision.

In 1992, Gilles and Beatrice Mathias took over the reins, followed in 2016 by their son Thibault. He now embodies the new generation at the helm, between family heritage and innovation, with the birth in 2019 of the next generation: Jules Mathias.

A precious terroir, between limestone and history

The estate spans 12 hectares of sun-drenched clay-limestone slopes, offering ideal conditions for the expression of Chardonnay, but also of Gamay for the reds. The southern Burgundy microclimate, with warm days and cool nights, makes it possible to craft dry, elegant, mineral white wines, with aromas of citrus, white flowers and hazelnut.
