Presentation
Born in 1995 under the impetus of Florence and Eric Guillemard, Domaine de la Roche Aiguë has established itself as a reference in Côte de Beaune thanks to its respectful approach to nature and terroir. Coming from a lineage of passionate winemakers, Eric Guillemard passed on this love of the vine to his daughter Lucie, who joined the estate in 2016. The vines of the estate, located on clay-limestone terroirs, benefit from an ideal climate for the production of elegant and expressive wines. Viticulture is conducted in sustainable viticulture, with meticulous soil work and exclusively manual harvesting. Vinifications are careful, with gentle extractions and well-controlled aging in oak barrels, allowing the wines to develop great aromatic finesse and beautiful complexity. A family estate that embodies the authenticity and refinement of Côte de Beaune wines.
