Domaine de la Légèreté

Vanessa Letort, Farid Yahimi & Naoufel Zaïm

Lorraine, France

Domaine de la Légèreté is the recent project of Vanessa Letort, known from Du Vin aux Liens, Farid Yahimi, from Sons of Wine, and Naoufel Zaïm. Since 2022 they own and farm 6 hectare of vineyards in Lucey and Bulligny, in the Lorraine. The soil composition here, in the Côtes de Toul, is clay and limestone in which the three planted Gamay, Pinot Noir, Auxerrois and Chardonnay. At this moment, the Domaine does not have its own cellar, but it’s currently being built.

All the vinification takes place in the Sons of Wine cellar in the Alsace, so they have to plan and manage the travelling during harvest very well. The farming and wine making is based on ethics. They say what they do and do what they say.

All their wines express a true Légèreté, a freshness that makes your mouth water. They are only released when ready, so that means ready for you to pour by the glass!
