His legacy lives on through his daughters who manage the House today.

Burgundy.
Burgundy’s complexity and tremendous diversity are the result of geological accident. Centuries ago,
faulting tore the great valley apart, easing the passage of the nearby Saône River. The slope thus formed is irregular
and intricate, making for a rich tapestry with which to create stunning wines. Burgundy begins in Chablis, isolated
some 80 miles north of the rest of the region with its very individual terroir. The region then extends over some
180 miles of varied, spectacular countryside, as far as Lyon in the south, via the Côte de Nuits,
Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, the Mâconnais and Beaujolais.

Today’s Bordeaux wines face many challenges in a world where wines are increasingly accessible – a far cry from
