THE COMPANY

Domaine Muzard was founded in the 60s by Lucien Muzard, who with his fervent passion passed on to his children the value of working the land. His eldest son, Claude, joined him in 1987 while HervĂ© three years later. Despite having learned the basics of the trade from their father, they studied at the Beaune wine school and gained experience from the nearby Clos Bellefond and Domaine Prieur, anchored in their strong loyalty to the land of Santenay. The Domaine today has 18 hectares of which 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. Through long aging, even in large vats, and significant proportions of “vendange entier” (up to 100%) the two brothers together with Capucine, Claude’s daughter, give life to very pleasant wines, great interpreters of Santenay terroir.
