Domaine Trichon

Domaine Trichon: organic, authentic wines at the heart of the Bugey

Faithful to its motto, « The passion of the vine and wine to the tip of the roots », the Trichon family crafts characterful wines, authentic and respectful of the environment.

A natural and sustainable viticulture

Domaine Trichon implements a viticulture respectful of nature. Here, ecological balance is favoured:

Ladybirds naturally regulate pests such as red spider mites.

Local plants such as nettle or buckthorn are used as natural treatments.

Small doses of copper and sulphur used for centuries, complete this work.

These sustainable practices help preserve the soils, biodiversity and the identity of the Bugey terroirs.

A modern cellar at the service of quality

The first buried cellar. In 1981, the family built a buried 400 m2 cellar, offering ideal conditions for the ageing of the wines. Up to 150,000 bottles can be stored there, notably the prestigious Bugey Brut, aged on laths for 2 to 3 years, rivalling the greatest sparkling wines with its finesse.

Gravity winemaking. In 2001, an innovative new vat room was created. Buried to blend into the landscape, it uses gravity winemaking: this gentle process preserves the integrity of the grapes, limits oxidation and ensures wines of great aromatic purity.

The temperature-controlled tanks provide perfect mastery of the fermentations, while the maceration is adapted to each grape:

6 to 8 days for the Gamay.

10 to 14 days for the Pinot Noir.

Up to 14 days for the Mondeuse.

Attention paid to every step, from the grape to the bottle.

A history rooted in time

The history of Domaine Trichon goes back to 1635, when Pierre Trichon planted his first vines near Belley. Over the centuries, the generations followed one another, enlarging and perfecting the vineyard. From a small 3-hectare estate, the vineyard now reaches 13 hectares in organic, producing wines recognised for their authenticity and quality.

Authentic and varied wines

Domaine Trichon offers a wide range of Bugey wines, all crafted with the same concern for quality:

Each cuvée expresses the typicity of the Bugey terroir, with excellent value for money.

An ecological and responsible commitment

The Trichon family has always placed nature at the heart of its work. The rinsing and washing water of the cellar is collected in an ecological basin, preserving the soils and local fauna. This sustainable commitment illustrates the estate's desire to combine tradition, modernity and respect for the environment.
