i. Biography
Marthe Henry has been the winemaker and wine producer at Domaine Marthe Henry in Meursault, France, since 2013. The work carries a background first formed in Paris, where literature and journalism taught a discipline of observation, selection, and exact wording; those habits now read through wines that aim for precision, attentiveness, and nuance.
The Path
The cellar work at Domaine Marthe Henry was entered by Marthe Henry in 2013 after a career as a journalist in Paris, held until that year. Journalism asks for close reading, measured judgment, and the ability to place one detail against another; in wine, those same habits become decisions about what to emphasize and what to leave alone. The move into winemaking did not erase that earlier training. It redirected it into seasonal work, where consistency and restraint carry the same weight as in reporting. Today, Marthe Henry keeps Domaine Marthe Henry in a mode of clarity and structure. The hand at work is calm and exacting, with cellar choices made to reveal rather than cover. That approach reflects a preference for order in service of expression: a method that lets the wine show its own terms.
The Work Today
Generally speaking, all the whites are made the same way, and all the reds too. It makes things simpler and allows for a clearer appreciation of the differences between appellations, villages, and vineyard sites. In that method is a practical trade position: keep the process steady, and the site, the appellation, and the village become easier to read. The cellar is used as a frame for comparison, with each wine left to register its own differences without extra handling.
Signature
Marthe Henry's signature wines include Bourgogne Blanc Monatine 2017, Bourgogne Aligoté 2023, Bourgogne Chardonnay 2017, Pommard "Les Vignots" Red 2022, and Topette 2024. Together, they show the range of the domaine across whites, reds, and vintages while staying within a house style that favors restraint and articulation.
In Their Words “Generally speaking, all the whites are made the same way, and all the reds too. It makes things simpler and allows for a clearer appreciation of the differences between appellations, villages, and vineyard sites.” “One of the things that is special about the wines from Marthe Henry is that they are vinified and matured without sulphur, and only see a light sulphuring at bottling.”
Acclaim
The recognition attached to Domaine Marthe Henry sits in its named Burgundy identity and in the stated method of vinification and maturation without sulphur, followed by a light sulphuring at bottling. Marthe Henry's work is presented through that structure: a Paris-trained discipline transferred to Meursault, where process and restraint define.
