Collection: Domaine de Revechet

[The essence of Burgundy's terroir, woven through generations of passion]

Domaine de l'Evêche, with a winemaking tradition dating back to the 17th century, is rooted in Saint-Denis-de-Vaux. Robert Jussier acquired the vineyard in 1930 and began selling barrels. In 1959, Henri Jussier bottled the first wine, expanding the business into a full-fledged domaine. Vincent Jussier acquired the property in 1985 and has continued to expand the business with his father, Henri. The land, which had been a vineyard since the Middle Ages, was converted by orchardist Jean Baudot into an apple and pear orchard, which was a successor to the orchard, but due to the lack of a successor, it was passed on to a young grower who revived it as a vineyard. Five hectares of carefully selected Pinot Noir were planted, and at the same time, plots of Chardonnay and Aligoté, which are suited to the stony soil of Louvier, were also renovated. In 1990, they acquired Les Ormeaux from Mercurey, and in 1998, Les Murgers, expanding the diversity of their terroir. In 2018, the next generation of winemakers, Quentin, joined the company and the winery was renovated, laying the foundation for further quality improvement. Currently, Domaine de l'Evêche manages 14 hectares of vineyards, and is pursuing quality improvement through investment in new equipment, meticulous care in the vineyards, and controlled aging in the cellar. They carefully explain their work and winemaking philosophy to visitors, and offer wines that embody their history, passion, and challenges for the future.
