Didier Montchovet created his biodynamic vineyard in ’84. He leased a modest half a hectare not too far from Pommard, where he five years later added an additional two and a half more hectares that enabled him to begin making wine under his own name. In ’90 Didier sold his first bottling, today Didier works 9.2-hectares of biodynamic vines near the village of Bouze-les-Beaune, which is approximately 4-kilometers northwest of Beaune. The cellar was conceived to make maximum use of gravity, as a result, no pumps are used during the bottling process. Didier also has a system that recuperates rainwater, helping him conserve this natural resource during the spring and summer. Didier is committed to making outstanding Biodynamic wines and the results of his efforts are a vibrant testimony to the harmony that can exist between winemaker and nature.

In 2019, without an obvious successor Didier passed the reins of his beloved winery to a talented young winemaker also from Burgundy, Boris Champy who was previously winemaker of the well-known Burgundy producer : Clos des lambrays. Boris is keeping the Domaine as it is, continuing Montchovet’s philosophy in applying the biodynamic methods and will eventually put his own personal touch in the wines. We are very excited to see our longtime relationship continuing with this new onboard winemaker
