THE DOMAIN

Daniel and Philippe Senard

In 1857, Jules Senard, great-grandfather of the current owner, created a vineyard called Clos des Meix, 2.5 hectares in surface. It has belonged to the Domaine ever since. As the years went by, the acquisition of distinguished names - Corton Clos du Roi, Corton Bressandes, and Corton Charlemagne - increased the prestige and fame of the Domaine Comte Senard.

The family's domain now covers a total of 9 hectares and enables us to offer an incomparable selection of vintages. Matured in the cellars of the estate, built in the XIIIth century by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Sainte-Marguerite, the wines carry a guarantee of quality.

Count Philippe Senard has directed the estate since 1971. In 1989, he took over the Domaine des Terregelesses and has since been responsible for the management, the vinification and sales of Corton Charlemagne, Savigny-lès-Beaune Premier Cru, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune and Chorey-lès-Beaune. His daughter Lorraine will ensure the continuity of the domain.

Situated in the heart of the village of Aloxe-Corton, the Clos des Meix has kept its old walls, its tower and the vaulted cellar built in the 13th century, which now protects the best vintages of the Domaine Comte Senard.

The domain vats and offices have recently been transferred to the old part of Beaune, a few steps away from the famous Hospices de Beaune. The wines of the Domaine Comte Senard and the Domaine des Terregelesses are processed there, bottled and sent all over the world.
