Louis Bourdrel is a young winemaker who worked at Chateau Haut-Brion and Chateau de Meursault, and wanted to be close to his family but keep on working with the Burgundy grape varieties. In 2021, him and his partner Chloe Nardin bought the domaine Xavier Reverchon, started in 1899 and whose children did not want to pursue the adventure. The young couple renamed it La Croisee Comtoise, with the desire of carry on Xavier's tradition and keep working the 6 hectares of vineyard.
