DOMAINE DE L ECETTE

Domaine de L’Ecette – Burgundian Elegance in the Heart of the Côte Chalonnaise

An Exceptional Terroir in Burgundy. Located in Rully, on the renowned Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine de L’Ecette passionately cultivates the art of traditional Burgundian winemaking. Benefiting from clay-limestone soils and ideal sun exposure, the estate showcases Burgundy’s two signature grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Here, they express themselves with finesse, giving rise to balanced, elegant, and authentic wines that truly reflect their terroir.

Winemaking follows traditional Burgundian methods, enhanced by modern techniques that ensure precise control over fermentation and aging. This expertise combines heritage, accuracy, and high standards to produce harmonious, characterful wines.

A Family Story and a Growing Estate

The story of Domaine de L’Ecette began in 1983 when Jean Daux settled in Rully and cultivated 9 hectares of vines. His son Vincent took over in 1997 after studying viticulture, bringing new energy to the estate. Under his leadership, the vineyard expanded to 18 hectares, with 67% planted in white and 33% in red grapes.

This growth was accompanied by the creation of the “Domaine de L’Ecette” brand, now recognized for the quality and consistency of its wines. The estate sells directly to private customers, wine shops, restaurants, and distributors. Each bottle is produced exclusively from estate-grown grapes, ensuring authenticity and full traceability.
