About Domaine François Raveneau
One thing about François Raveneau is that this taciturn vigneron did things his way. In 1948, François united the last of his family’s... Chablis parcels with those of his wife, a member of the Dauvissat family, to form the estate that still bears his name. François was the first of his long line of winemakers to estate-bottle his own wines, and the wines he made were so extraordinary — and so miniscule in quantity — that to experience them was a Chablis-lover’s dream. François dedicated his life to securing outstanding vineyards and to producing the best, most terroir-driven wines he could make. He didn’t care about fame or fortune, and he refused to export his wines to the States until the 1980s! Today, the estate is run by François’ three children, vigneron Jean-Marie, his brother Bernard, and Bernard’s daughter Isabelle. The estate still makes tiny quantities (just 3,000 cases a year) from its 20-acres of mostly grand cru and premier cru vineyards, still handpicks its grapes, and still shuns the limelight in pursuit of making extraordinary Chardonnay wines.
About Maison Louis Latour
One of the largest traditional estates in Burgundy, Louis Latour’s roots date to at least 1731. Over the past three centuries, the Latour family... has added to its first few acres, increasing its Aloxe-Corton holdings to more than 80 acres, and this producer now owns an impressive 27 acres in the Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru, the largest holding in the prized designation. In addition, Latour boasts vineyards in Corton’s Les Bressandes, Les Perrières, Les Grèves and Clos du Roi, as well as Cambertin and Romanée-St-Vivant, both Côte de Nuits grand cru designations, and Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru, which is in the Côte de Beaune. Latour’s cuverie sits in Louis Latour’s original eighteenth-century manor house, and designed by the domaine’s namesake, this five-story enterprise has been entirely gravity-fed since its creation. Maison Louis Latour is currently run by Florent Latour, who took over after the sudden death of his brother, Louis-Fabrice, in 2022, and Jean-Charles Thomas serves as winemaker, overseeing Latour's largely traditional vinification and crafting of Latour’s more than 150 wines, an impressively reliable and captivating output.
Maison Lucien Le Moine
Founded in 1999, this small very high-end négociant house in the Côte d’Or has made a lot of noise in the world of elite Burgundy. Husband-and-wife... team Mounir and Rotem Saouma are committed to releasing no more than 100 barrels — or 2,500 cases — of wine each vintage, and they make only premier or grand cru Burgudny. For some time, Maison Lucien Le Moine grew no grapes, and it pressed no wine, but in 2006, the estate purchased 20 acres in Châteauneuf and Côtes du Rhône-Villages. Lucien Le Moine makes Burgundy in an idiosyncratic fashion — by raising barrels of grand and premier cru wines according to exacting standards of élévage that include lengthy time on augmented lees for whites or year-long undisturbed aging in amphorae for reds. Working closely with growers, Lucien Le Moine produces one to three barrels from each cru, and the crus shift with each vintage. Together, Mounir and Rotem do everything by hand, aging wines on their lees, never racking them, never using fining, filtration, additions or blending. Through this painstaking work, Lucien Le Moine has become, as Lucien has called it, “a library of Burgundy’s finest terroirs.” 
About (Nicolas Potel) Maison Roche de Bellene
Nicolas Potel, son of the late, great vigneron Gérard Potel, who was director of the famed Pousse d'Or, founded his négoçiant... house Maison Nicolas Potel in 1996. However, in the early 2000s, Nicolas sold the négociant house, and he left shortly thereafter, thus losing the legal right to use his name for his business. By 2008, Nicolas had found both Domaine de Bellene, which bottles estate-grown wines, and Maison Roche de Bellene, which is a négociant house, both located in Beaune. At Maison Roche de Bellene, Nicolas concentrates on premier and grand cru wines that come from old or very old vines tended by trusted growers across Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Nicolas explores high quality, more affordable wines at Maison Roche de Bellene, and he has amassed a cult following of in-the-know Burgundy lovers with his terroir-driven red and white Burgundies.
