The estate was founded in 1986 with 5 hectares of Pinot Noir in Santenay, where Denis’ family had long been vignerons for generations but sold most of their production to négociants. Over time Denis and Françoise acquired parcels of Chardonnay in the villages of Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet. The total area cultivated now is around 15 hectares and since 2000, their son Jean-Baptiste has worked on the estate, gradually taking on more responsibility, and gaining plaudits for the increased refinement and precision of the wines.
