The estate of domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi is spread over an area of 98 ha stretching from the southern vineyards of Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise up to the Grand Cru of Clos des Vougeot in Cote de Nuits. We own no less than 25 different appellations. A third of our estate is located in the Côte d’Or with vineyards in Chambolle-Musigny, Gevrey-Chambertin, Aloxe-Corton, Beaune 1er Cru, St Aubin, Pommard, …. and the rest is located in the up and coming appellation of Mercurey. 

The castle was once the residence of the Duke of Burgundy Philippe Le Hardi (Philippe the Bold) (1342-1404), who was the first and foremost ambassador of Burgundy and its great wines. Conscious that wine was not just a mere beverage, in 1395, he issued an edict banishing the Gamay grape in favor of the Pinot noir. To this day, Pinot noir is still the grape used for all burgundy’s flagship red wines. 

The estate was converted to sustainable farming in 2004, Terra-vitis certified, and HVE3 in 2016. Since august 2024, the domaine is certified organic. We apply practices which respect the environment. Our goal is to maintain life in the soil and maximum empressize each plot’s terroir in the wines produced there. Each Parcel is vinified separately to transmit the full expression of the terroir. 

A modern and advanced winery welcome our grapes, with gentle extraction for respecting the terroir of each parcel
