The Domaine de la Commaraine is a Clos of 3.63 ha and its Château have their roots deeply in the history of Burgundian wine production as they have existed since the 12th century.
The wine from this Clos has been renowned worldwide for centuries and was a favourite of the American President Thomas Jefferson during his visit to the château in 1787.
Its great quality was vaunted by authors from the past such as Danquy and Aubertin in their book Les Grands vins de Bourgogne (The Great Wines of Bourgogne): “Among the most renowned Climats, let us first mention La Commaraine”.
Domaine de la Commaraine was acquired in 2017 by Denise Dupré and Mark Nunelly, with the ambition to restore the wine to its former glory and make it one of the great Premiers Crus of the Côte de Beaune.
This large, walled vineyard, insulated from outside influences, is ideally suited toorganic and biodynamic farming — and will now be worked accordingly.
Soil scientist and geologist Pedro Parra has visited to study the clos, which has now been divided into eight sub-plots along geological lines; plots that will be farmed and vinified separately.
Thanks to this exceptional wine heritage, the Domaine de la Commaraine will once again shine in the firmament of the Burgundian domains.
