Estate History and Heritage

Pierre-Olivier Garcia has redefined modern Burgundy winemaking through his artisanal, micro-scale approach. Specifically, he uses surgical scissors to hand-cut grape stems one berry at a time, eliminating any bitter vegetal tannins. Moreover, his cellar work emphasizes native yeasts, gentle extractions, and minimal sulfur.

Today, the estate’s tiny production has achieved global cult status among top sommeliers and collectors. As a result, this 2021 Aux Saints-Jacques delivers an uncommonly supple and pure perspective on Nuits-Saint-Georges.
