Background 

A revival !

After our respective international careers, in finance for one and luxury goods for the other, we needed to renew our contact with nature and do what we always wanted to do since our childhood dreams and that was to own and run an estate in Burgundy ; we finally settled for the Château de Garnerot on account of its history, firmly ingrained in the winegrowing tradition.

The domain

Located in Mercurey, we cultivate Pinot Noir Chardonnay and Aligoté Doré vines over 6 hectares in the Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune areas, the production certified organic since December 2022 ; our plots are those we consider have the best characteristics such as the age of the vines visually selected, the soil quality, orientation and the record of the particular « climat ».

To ensure that the vine, the land and the elements are in harmony , our approach is towards biodynamic cultivation ; respecting the vine sap cycle our vines are pruned according to the Guyot or Guyot Poussard method ; we keep closely in check the yield of our vines.

Our wines correspond to each individual plot ; grapes are handpicked and carefully sorted.

According to the appellation and the year concerned, wines are raised in cask from 10 to 18 months ; they are only lightly filtered or, in exceptional cases, not at all. We aim to produce wine with little sulphite.

We have both national and international tasting listings for our wines, for example :Guide Hachette, Bettane & Desseauve, Féminalise, Sakura Awards Japan, Vins & Territoires Authentiques Belgium.
