History

Jérôme Castagnier has established himself as one of Burgundy’s most significant emerging talents, winning the prestigious title of “Jeunes Talents de Bourgogne” for two years in a row. Despite his family origins as a winemaker in Morey-Saint-Denis, Jérôme began his career as a musician, even playing the trumpet for the Republican Guard at the Elysée Palace in Paris.

However, his love for his homeland and his passion for viticulture led him to return to Burgundy in 2004, to look after the family’s precious winemaking heritage with his father. After his father’s passing in 2012, Jérôme took on the role of promoting the family’s prestigious crus, including Clos de Vougeot, Clos Saint Denis and Clos de la Roche.

Jérôme Castagnier’s talent is undeniable and, although he is already well-established in France, we are sure that he will soon join the select group of the greatest producers in Burgundy. His dedication to the enhancement of the prestigious family vineyards and his ability to create wines of exceptional depth are a clear sign of his commitment and talent. We look forward to discovering the wonders that Jérôme will have in store for us in the future and to tasting his wines, which will undoubtedly be a testimony to his extraordinary journey in Burgundian viticulture.
