Domaine Coudray-Bizot
A rigorous and methodological process inherited by Jean-Jacques Coudray-Bizot from his grandfather (winemaker at Hospices de Beaune); the quality and style of the wines also stem from the ancient cellars of the Château David de Beaufort, built in the 1500s.
Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine
Located near Pernand-Vergelesses, the domaine is a family wine business cultivating on the climat of Pernand-Vergelesses, Corton Charlemagne, Aloxe-Corton, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune and Savigny-les-Beaune, with environmentally-friendly methods.

Domaine Jacques Prieur
Since 1868, Domaine Jacques Prieur is probably the only estate owning vineyards on the greatest appellations both of Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits: Chambertin, Musigny, Clos Vougeot, Echézeaux, Corton, Meursault or Montrachet.

Domaine Philippe Garrey
Based in the Mercurey appellation, Domaine Philippe Garrey was the first grower in the Côte Chalonnaise to become certified biodynamic in 2011. He only produces wine from the Mercurey appellation.

Founded in 1897, this small domain is held by the fourth generation of wine growers and produces fine aromatic wines, expressing their terroir. Manual harvest and traditional vinification are the key, on soils that have never been touched by pesticides.
Domaine Virgile Lignier-Michelot
On the road of the Great Burgundy Crus, Domaine Lignier-Michelot’s vineyards are about twenty appellations around Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-Saint-Georges.
