This 20 hectare family estate is managed by Arnaud Machard de Gramont and his two sons Alban and Alexis. The cellars are located in Prissey, a neighbouring hamlet of Nuits-St-Georges. These cellars were built in the XIXth century. Their superb vaults give a "cathedral" effect to the winery.

This domaine is a great source of Burgundy at sensible prices. “Value for money” is not something that is often associated with the wines of the Core d’Or, however, we have dealt with this family domaine for many years for our commercial Burgundy needs – it offers more individuality than most negociants and consistently performs well.
The family owns small parcels in several different appellations and manages to seduce the individual characteristics from each one. This estate now uses a blend of American and French oak, developing a unique style in the appellation of Nuits-St-Georges, Gevrey-Chambertin and Pommard.
Light in colour with an expressive bouquet of ripe, pure cherry and redcurrant, complemented by subtle earthy and floral notes. The palate is structured yet refined, with firm, polished tannins balanced by concentrated fruit and a touch of rusticity that adds depth and character. A superb expression of the appellation, showing classic Nuits-Saint-Georges finesse and distinctive terroir.
