From this winery

Manuel, the owner, comes from a family who have been farmers, working the land, for four generations. From childhood, Manuel showed a special interest in and aptitude for winemaking. He worked on his parents’ farm, where they grew different red fruits and the famous Burgundy blackcurrants. He already had the ambition to follow a different path. By the age of 20, he had already made his first wines. Five years later, he made his dreams come true and became a winemaker is his native village.

Starting with a vineyard of just a few hectares with the appellation Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Manuel has built up and developed the domain. True to his roots, he continues to produce different red fruits, which people are free to harvest for themselves each summer.

In 2005, eager to discover new soils and to meet new challenges, the domain acquired more vineyards, on both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune.

Over the years, the domain has grown and now produces a full range of wines, with Regional Appellations, sparkling wines and wines bearing the three traditional appellations: of a given Village, First Growths (Premier crus) and Grands Crus, the most renowned appellation. Read more
