Au Pied du Mont Chauve Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

Description Michel Picard Settled today in Chassagne-Montrachet, the Domaine Famille Picard was founded in 1951 by Louis Félix Picard, then owner of 2 hectares of vines in the commune of Chagny. Michel Picard, his son, will join him a few years later. It was at the age of 15 that Michel Picard left school at the request of his father to come and help him with his daily tasks. A symbol illustrating this amazing journey, already steeped in a desire to go further; a Peugeot scooter is parked today at the entrance of Château de Chassagne-Montrachet. For years, at the wheel of his scooter Michel Picard set off to explore the Burgundy vineyard and its key players. In the early 1970s, he took over the family vineyard, supported by Liliane, his wife, also from a winemaking family. In 1986, he acquired his first estate, Château de Davenay, particularly known for its Montagny Premier Cru Clos Chaudron. In 1997, Michel took over the estate of Château de Chassagne-Montrachet.Through passion, courage and stubbornness, Michel Picard has built over the years a family winery recognized by his peers. Today, 140 hectares of vines spread over 4 areas between the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Beaune, which Francine Picard manages entirely today.
