Domaine François Legros

François Legros, along with his two daughters, Charlotte and Laure, manage this environmentally-aware ~7 hectare estate from their home/winery in the center of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The Legros' team are always focused on preserving the characteristics of the terroir of each of their many Premier Cru and Villages vineyards across the Côte d'Or, and therefore practice sustainable viticulture. Holding the High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 certification, the team harvests all grapes exclusively by hand and still works many of the vineyards by horse! In the cellar, they maintain the philosophy with minimal intervention, hand sorting grapes on a vibrating table and employing manual punch down rather than mechanical systems. This results in wines that are true to their terroirs, with a somewhat lighter/fresher profile that can be consumed younger than many others from the same plots.
