This 8.5 hectare domaine was founded in 1920 by the great grandfather of Damien Livera, who currently runs the property. Prior to Damien taking over in 2007, the grapes were sold to the large Beaune negociants. However, since 2007, there has been a total regeneration of the domaine – low yields, a strict form of lutte raisonée, no herbicides, manual working of the soils and a total upgrading of the vineyards and a new winery – and a resultant quantum leap in quality.

1.5 hectare vineyard, in the heart of old Gevrey, below Clos St Jacques.  70-75-year-old vines and some over 100 years old too.  The scree and fossil soils, washed down from the Combe de Lavaux, always give elegance, combined with the natural dark-fruit character. 40% new oak. This wine is is darkly powerful with great refinement.
