Quick facts:

The domaine was founded by Charles Bocard in the 1920s, and his son Guy Bocard took over in 1976, running the estate for almost fifty years until 2020. Upon Guy’s retirement, he entrusted the estate to the Derichebourg family.
Winemaker Philippe Pacalet strives to produce complex, terroir-driven wines through long whole-harvest pressings, the use of indigenous yeasts, limited batonnage, careful barrel selection, and minimal sulfur. He’s also advising on new vineyard plantings, which are shifting to massal selections.
