Presentation
Nestled in the valley at the exit of Auxey Duresses, the Domaine de la Roche Aiguë was born in 1995 in the hamlet of Melin under the impetus of Florence and Eric Guillemard. The latter comes from a family of winemakers, grew up in this environment which has fascinated him since a young age.
In 2016, their eldest daughter, Lucie, joins them. Together, they manage a vineyard of 14 hectares in Auxey Duresses, Saint Romain, Meursault, Pommard, among others. Lovers of nature and very proud of their terroir, it is natural for them to work their vines and wines with respect for them
