Vincent Punier created his Domain in 1988 when he inherited 2 hectares (5 acres) from his parents. Today the domain is comprised of 13 hectares (32 acres) of vines located on the prestigious hillsides of Auxey-Duresses, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin.

Presentation
Vincent created his domain almost from
scratch and has grown it carefully over 30 years. As a “one man show” he has been intrinsically involved
in every aspect of production including many hours working in the vineyards and time spent in the cellar
fine tuning his wines. He lives above the winery located in Auxey Duresses and his Auxey Duresses rouge
vineyard sits directly across the road. This close physical proximity underlines the very personal
signature he makes on each wine he produces.
