    Producer

    The Jean-Marc Millot estate vineyards extend across carefully selected plots, benefiting from a temperate continental climate. The soils are primarily clay-limestone, characteristic of the Côte de Nuits, allowing for excellent drainage and promoting the concentration of aromas in the grapes. Each plot is cultivated with care, respecting the principles of sustainable viticulture. The vines, some several decades old, draw their strength from this exceptional terroir, yielding high-quality grapes that guarantee an authentic and expressive wine.

    Owner and history

    Jean-Marc Millot, the estate's founder, is a passionate winemaker who has infused his love of wine into every vintage he produces. Today, he is assisted by his son, who continues to uphold the family tradition while bringing a modern perspective. Together, they work in harmony with nature, striving to produce wines that tell the story of their terroir. The Millot family is committed to preserving the environment by adopting practices that respect biodiversity and promote healthy soils, in order to pass on this heritage to future generations.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Domaine Jean-Marc Millot is a meticulous process, blending tradition and innovation. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure their integrity and are then destemmed before being placed in vats. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures, allowing for the extraction of aromas while preserving the fruit's freshness. Aging occurs in oak barrels, some of which are new, to impart complexity and structure to the wine. After several months of aging, the wines are blended and bottled unfiltered to retain their full authenticity.
