Located in the heart of the wine village of Beine, this is where our wines, so representative of this unique terroir, are made.
They are bottled at the property, labelled and then shipped all over the world.

Nestled in the hillside at the foot of the Church of Notre Dame de Beines, the winery was built in the 1980s, then extended and modernised in 2003. It is within these walls that Adrien has been passionately crafting the wines of the Domaine since 2010.
The quality of our wines is an essential concern. Our modern equipment enables us to meet our quality requirements and to offer our customers authentic wines.
The vinification is carried out in the Burgundian tradition, we take care to respect the characteristics of this fabulous heritage. We give each terroir time to express itself with maturing periods of between 8 and 10 months.
With a total capacity of 6785 hectolitres, our winery has 74 temperature-controlled vats and 116 oak barrels carefully selected by Adrien according to the type of wood and toasting.

Adjacent to the vat room, the press room has 3 pneumatic presses with a capacity of 50hl to 60hl. In order to preserve all its properties, the grapes are pressed quickly after harvesting, then the juice is put into vats for settling.
Vacuum bottling preserves the quality of the wine and prevents oxidation. Our bottling line is capable of filling up to 2400 bottles per hour.
We also label our own bottles. Our latest generation labelling machine allows us to be flexible and reactive in order to meet all the needs of our different customers.

Over the years, and to accompany the growth of the estate, we have invested in equipment that allows us to be both independent and autonomous.
We have had our own vacuum bottling line since 2002. This not only allows us to optimise the storage of our bottles, but also to bottle according to our needs.
