    The vineyard of Domaine Comte Senard stretches across gentle slopes, where the vines flourish in clay-limestone soils, ideal for growing Pinot Noir. The vines, some several decades old, benefit from a favorable microclimate, influenced by the proximity of the Corton mountain. This unique terroir gives the grapes a rich and complex aromatic expression, essential to the winemaking process. Careful vineyard management, with sustainable farming practices, guarantees optimal grape quality, allowing the full essence of the terroir to be extracted.

    Owner and history

    THE Domaine Comte Senard is currently managed by the Senard family, who have been passionate about winemaking for generations. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in rigorous viticultural practices and an unwavering respect for tradition. The family works closely with oenologists to refine each vintage, striving to capture the essence of the Aloxe-Corton terroir. Their vision is to produce wines that tell a story—the story of their land and their expertise—while adhering to a sustainable and environmentally responsible approach.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking of the 2020 Aloxe-Corton Jules follows Burgundian tradition. The grapes, carefully hand-harvested, are destemmed before being fermented in temperature-controlled tanks. This method preserves the aromas and ensures a gentle extraction of tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 15 months. This aging process adds further complexity to the wine, enriching its bouquet while respecting the terroir's character. The result is an elegant and harmonious wine, true to the spirit of the domaine.
