Our estate is located in the commune of Echevronne, a charming village in the Hautes C么tes de Beaune region. Our business originated from a family estate. After a year of oenology at the University of Dijon, Pierre Cornu moved to his parents' winery.
In 1981, he married Bernadette CAMUS, a winegrower and also from a family of winegrowers in Savigny-L猫s-Beaune.
Today our estate covers 12 hectares of vines.
Throughout the year, the work in the vineyard is carried out with the greatest care in order to obtain the best wine.The treatments are carried out using sustainable methods to respect the environment.
The harvest is carried out manually.
After a Master's degree in Biology and a BTS in viticulture and oenology, Pierre and Bernadette's daughter, Lydia, became co-manager of the Domaine in 2008.Christophe Pertuzot, Lydia's husband, joined the family business in 2009.
He previously worked in large wine estates in the C么te de Nuits and Beaune.
