BEAUNE

Domaine Françoise-André_edited_edited_ed

Domaine
Françoise André

La vie est belle en Bourgogne!!! 

Nestled at the foot of the centuries-old Beaune ramparts in Burgundy, Domaine Françoise André's journey began in 1983 when Michel and Françoise André acquired vines from Savigny les Beaune 1er cru "Les Vergelesses." This marked the start of a captivating adventure that led to the acquisition of vines from prestigious terroirs, encompassing the famous hill of Corton, totalling 11 hectares today.

 

Now steering the estate is daughter-in-law Lauriane André, with Jerome Després by her side. Together they uphold the vision: crafting wines of finesse and elegance through meticulous vineyard work and a gentle cellar touch. Committed to organic vine cultivation, the estate flourishes with practices centred on observation, prevention, and respect for natural balances. Embracing minimal intervention in the winery, Lauriane and Jerome advocate for the belief that each cuvée should allow the terroir to speak, resulting in expressive, intricate wines that authentically mirror the character of the Cote de Beaune. 

 

Lauriane injects passion into every Village, 1er Cru, and Grand Cru vineyard, infusing her love for the vine and the grape. The outcome is nothing short of exceptional juice—a true reflection of the distinctive personality of Beaune's terroir.
