"We chose these producers carefully.  They are  wonderful people crafting extraordinary wines from unique vineyards.  As a wine family, we understand the work and commitment of the Domaine owners.

Creating relationships with Burgundian Domaine owners is just an extension of the approach we have successfully utilized for over 70 years now."
