Domaine des Chezeaux

Domaine des Chezeaux was established in 1982 from the holdings of the Mercier family, who continue to run the estate under SNV des Chézeaux. Located in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy, the domaine is particularly notable for being the largest owner of Griotte-Chambertin, one of the most prestigious vineyards in the area.

The estate’s vineyards, which include renowned plots in Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Morey-Saint-Denis, are now leased to other producers. Notably, Domaine Ponsot manages several top sites, including Le Chambertin, Clos St. Denis, and 57% of the Griotte-Chambertin.

The wines of Domaine des Chezeaux are crafted with respect for Burgundy’s traditional winemaking methods, while also embracing modern, sustainable viticulture practices. The estate produces wines from old vines, with a focus on Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for whites. Hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, the wines are aged in oak barrels, resulting in wines that are elegant, complex, and capable of aging gracefully.

Domaine des Chezeaux is highly regarded by Burgundy enthusiasts for producing wines that authentically express the terroir, with a particular emphasis on elegance and finesse, making them both approachable in their youth and suitable for long-term cellaring.
