The Producer

Domaine du Val Lamartinien is a family owned domaine in Prissé, in the Mâconnais of southern Burgundy. Chardonnay is the primary grape. The range includes Mâcon Prissé and Saint Véran whites, Bourgogne Rouge as a red wine, and Crémant de Bourgogne as a sparkling wine.

The labels move from regional Bourgogne to more specific Mâconnais names. The domaine therefore works across several bottle styles while keeping Prissé as its base.

Place

Prissé is one of six villages where Saint Véran is produced. Mâcon Prissé keeps the village in the appellation name, while Saint Véran places the wines within a wider appellation shared across the surrounding villages.

Prissé sits in the Mâconnais, the southern Burgundy region where Chardonnay is central to the white wines. The village is also historically associated with the poet Lamartine.

Soil And Site

Clay and limestone form the vineyard soils. Clay can hold water through dry conditions, while limestone drains excess water and contributes mineral sensations. In white wine, this combination can support fruit with freshness and a firm mineral feel.

Story

Alain and Hubert Triboulet represent the continuing family stewardship at Domaine du Val Lamartinien. The family owned estate remains based in Prissé and works across regional Bourgogne, Mâconnais village labels, Saint Véran and Crémant de Bourgogne.

Chardonnay remains the primary grape, while Bourgogne Rouge adds a red wine to the range. The current estate combines family ownership with bottles that cover white, red and sparkling styles.

Vineyards And Cellar

The Bourgogne Rouge 2022 uses a pneumatic press, temperature control and cold settling before fermentation. Dry active yeasts are used in a stainless steel fermentation room. Sulfiting is minimized to encourage early malolactic fermentation.

Pneumatic pressing applies gentle pressure, while cold settling allows solids to fall before fermentation. Malolactic fermentation converts sharper malic acid into softer lactic acid, giving the red wine a rounder mouthfeel. Temperature control helps preserve fresh fruit during fermentation.

Wines

The range moves from Bourgogne and Mâcon labels to Mâcon Prissé, Mâcon Villages and Saint Véran, with Crémant de Bourgogne adding a sparkling style. Bourgogne Rouge 2022 is the red wine in the current range, while Mâcon Villages 2024 is a white wine with a delicate balance of acidity and fruitiness.

The primary grape is Chardonnay. Bourgogne provides the regional level, Mâcon names the wider local appellation, Mâcon Prissé names the village, and Saint Véran belongs to an appellation shared across several villages.

In The Glass

Saint Véran opens with apple and pear, followed by white blossom, hazelnut and almond. The palate is fresh and hearty, with a mineral touch.

Mâcon Prissé shifts toward flint, pear, citrus and grapefruit, with fruity and acidic aromas. Mâcon Villages 2024 brings vibrant citrus, subtle white flowers and a whisper of minerality.

Bourgogne Rouge 2022 moves to cool red fruit, underbrush and spice on the nose, then cherries on the palate. The white wines carry fruit and mineral notes, while the red wine changes the register to cooler fruit, earth and spice.

A Bottle To Understand It

Choose Mâcon Prissé. The village name appears in the appellation, placing Prissé directly on the label. The bottle sits between the broader Mâcon wines and Saint Véran, whose name is shared across several villages.

It is a still white wine from the domaine's home village, with Chardonnay as the primary grape. The bottle keeps the focus on one named place before the range expands to regional Bourgogne, red Bourgogne Rouge and sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne.

Anecdote

In 1932, Benoit Triboulet founded Domaine du Val Lamartinien in Prissé. The domaine remains family owned and based in the village. Prissé is one of the six villages where Saint Véran is produced and is historically associated with the poet Lamartine. The estate now makes wines under Bourgogne, Mâcon, Mâcon Prissé, Mâcon Villages, Saint Véran and Crémant de Bourgogne appellations.

Final Word

Domaine du Val Lamartinien is a Prissé domaine built around Chardonnay, clay and limestone, with Bourgogne, Mâconnais, red and sparkling wines extending the range beyond one bottle style.
