Domaine Famille Picard

About

Located today in Chassagne-Montrachet, the Domaine Famille Picard was founded in 1951 by Louis Félix Picard, who owned 2 hectares of vines in the commune of Chagny. Michel Picard, his son, joined him a few years later. In the early 1970s, he took over the family business, supported by his wife Liliane, who also came from a winegrowing family. Through passion, courage and obstinacy, Michel Picard has built up a wine estate recognised by his peers over the years. In 2004, his daughter, Francine Picard, took over the management of the family estate with the aim of restructuring the vineyard around a strong environmental approach. Today, 140 hectares of vines spread over 4 estates between the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Beaune are managed using organic viticulture, including 30 hectares of biodynamic viticulture.
