Domaine Huber-Verdereau was founded by Thiébault Huber in 1994, but originates in the 19th century with several generations of the Verdereau family in Volnay, including Thiébault’s grandfather Raoul Verdereau.  The domaine encompasses 9.5 hectares, with holdings in Volnay, Pommard, and Meursault.  Since 2005, Thiébault has converted all holdings to organic and biodynamic farming, and is Demeter-certified.  Thiébault is a rising star in Burgundy and his joyous, thoughtful manner is reflected in his focused wines.

He adheres to minimalist intervention in winemaking, with no battonage, filtration only when needed, 20-30% new oak, and aging of 12-14 months for the Cru wines. In terms of work in the cellar, Thiébault has a gentle touch, using 350 and 500 liter barrels, minimum SO2 and no lees stirring. He vinifies and bottles separately wines coming from each parcel, to try and express each terroir. His whites are precise and his reds are wonderful expressions of Pinot Noir, showing lovely red fruit and silky texture.

“It's not often we recommend a producer rather than a specific wine in our wine of the week slot but I would like to draw your attention to this under-the-radar producer…I was very impressed by almost all of Huber's wines: a Bourgogne white and red, a Meursault (white), a Monthelie, a Volnay, a premier cru Volnay and a premier cru Pommard.” Jancis Robinson, 18 Jan 2019
