Today, Domaine Chemarin extends over 11 hectares, including 4.5 hectares transferred to him by his father on his retirement. The soils here are stony and therefore relatively poor, resting directly on granite rock. The average age of the vines is 40 years. Nicolas also farms 2 terroirs: Les Bulliats and La Haute Ronze. On these terroirs, the soils are clayey and deep, giving powerful wines. The diversity of the terroirs cultivated by Domaine Chemarin is one of its greatest strengths. The vines are cultivated with a view to enlarging the leaf surface to promote rapid photosynthesis and obtain perfectly ripe grapes.
The main grape varieties are Chardonnay and Gamay. In his semi-buried concrete vat room, Nicolas Chemarin works cold, maintaining a temperature of 20° and carrying out relatively long macerations: 25 to 30 days for the Crus and 18 to 20 days for the Vieilles Vignes. Annual production is around 30,000 bottles.
