Bertrand and Axelle MACHARD-de-GRAMONT

The Winery Bertrand and Axelle Machard de Gramont is a relatively small Winery in the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges. A Winery of 6 hectares in total, located mainly in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, but also with parcels in Vosne-Romanée and Vergy.

Winery was created in 1984 by Axelle's father Bertrand. Before that, he worked with two of his brothers. One of them married Chantal Lescure who owned many vineyards and houses in the area. They created a Winery together, which represented 32 hectares, with vines in Vosne-Romanée, Pommard, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, les Vallerots and Nuits-Saint-Georges, all in the beautiful and great Burgundy. Then they decided to go their separate ways.

This great Winery has become 3 areas: 

• Winery Chantal Lescure in Nuits-Saint-Georges,
• Winery Machard de Gramont in Prémeaux-Prissey
• Winery Bertrand Machard de Gramont in Nuits-Saint-Georges (now called Bertrand and Axelle Machard de Gramont)

In 2001, the surface area reached 6 hectares thanks to the spectacular replanting of the "climat" of Les Vallerots, on a virgin terroir, partly abandoned since the phylloxera tragedy.

Between the ages of 20 and 35, Axelle Machard lived in Paris. Then in 2004, she returned to Burgundy to take up the challenge of this profession at Winemaker. She now runs the Winery with the support of her father. She makes elegant, precise and racy wines. The vinifications are gentle and delicate. Axelle is the one who initiated the organic certification process, obtained in 2014!

Here is a Winery who works admirably well to really try to express in each of the vintages, its "climate", a strong and emblematic notion of Burgundy.
