History

Each generation has shared their experience and passion with the next, while respecting family values that are very important to them. The Domaine was founded by Laurence - Jacques and Marie-Josèphe Gagnard's daughter - and Richard - backed by his experience in the air force, with several vineyards passed down from family.

Céline joined the Domaine in 2007 and confirmed her experience by respecting the same values. In 2018, Frédéric decided to join her in order to acquire all the necessary winegrowing and winemaking skills.

Vineyards

Our range of wines consists of 22 appellations from the villages of Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Pommard.

We have ten hectares in all with the usual, for Chassagne, extensive range of premiers crus (Bois de Chassagne, La Boudriotte, En Cailleret, les Chenevottes, Clos de Murées monopole, Clos St-Jean, La Maltroie, Morgeot, La Romanée and Les Vergers in white, Morgeot and Clos St-Jean in red). There are futher reds such as Volnay Clos des Chênes and Pommard Les Rugiens, but the jewels in the crown are small holdings of grand cru white Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet (0.33 hectare), Bâtard-Montrachet (0.30 hectare) and Le Montrachet (0.08 hectare).

Winemaking

We make our wine using traditional methods: fermentation using indigenous yeast and ageing for 12 to 18 months in oak barrels. Each wine follows the same winemaking process and therefore represents the best characteristics of its terroir. Only the amount of new oak barrels varies: 15-20% for the Village appellations and 30-40% for the Premiers Crus and Grands Crus.
