Presentation
The history of Domaine Pascal Renaud began in 1927 when Jean Renaud and his wife settled in Pouilly as tenant farmers. In 1973, their son Émile Renaud took over with his wife Germaine, and in 1986, after Émile's premature death, Pascal Renaud decided to continue the estate with his mother. Starting in 1998, Pascal and his wife Mireille bought the vineyard and invested in an additional estate in Charnay-lès-Mâcon, thus expanding their range of terroirs. Modernization followed: in 2005, the estate was equipped with bottling and labeling machines, gaining autonomy. In 2009 and 2012, their children Guillaume and Amandine joined the family adventure, bringing a new vision and consolidating the estate. Today, production is mainly focused on white wines made from Chardonnay, vinified with precision to capture the full expression of the Mâconnais terroirs. The standout feature? Smooth family transmission and controlled growth, allowing homogeneous and high-quality production.
