For over 170 years, this family-run estate has focused on authenticity and the rich diversity of Burgundy’s terroirs, producing wines of remarkable finesse and longevity.

Prestigious vineyards showcasing the essence of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay

The estate’s vineyards span some of Burgundy’s most renowned appellations, including plots in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Among its most iconic wines, Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru "Les Maréchaudes" stands out for its power and spicy undertones, while Beaune Premier Cru "Clos du Roi" offers elegance with aromas of red fruits. On the white wine side, Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru "Sous Frétille" delivers striking minerality and freshness, a reflection of the region’s unique limestone and clay soils.
