The history of the Estate

the origin of wine

It was in 1996 that thePartridge Estatewas taken over by theDevillard familyInitially, most of the estate's production was sold to a wine merchant and did not enjoy the recognition the place has today. Following the acquisition of this exceptional property,Robert Parkerindicated that we could still make high-quality discoveries on the greatest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. The estate's vines were in perfect condition, but significant investments were made in the winery to incorporate modern winemaking techniques: sorting on tables, temperature control during vinification, and pneumatic punch-down.
