A tribute to our heritage: Wines in honor of the pioneers

We explore authentic Burgundy terroirs to offer rare creations. Terres Affranchies is a bold reflection: how to continue producing high-quality wines that can withstand this exceptional and traumatic climatic period? By observing, researching, and breaking free from certain constraints dictated by a kind of homogenization of thought. We have gone as close as possible to our terroir by planting grape varieties now adapted to the existing soil types and the changing climate, and by experimenting with the surprising blending of red and white grape varieties. This astonishing marriage of styles gives rise to wines that are luscious, fresh, and complex. A unique sensory experience that encourages the taster to let go.



A tribute to our heritage: Wines in honor of the pioneers

Terres Affranchies pays homage to the agronomists of the past, such as Mago, Pliny, Columella, and Palladius, without whom Burgundy would not be Burgundy. True instigators of our wine world, they dared to think outside the box and define our agricultural and winemaking traditions. Each of our cuvées is named in their honor, reflecting our respect for their research and the passing on of their knowledge.
