Domaine Jessiaume is a family-founded wine estate located in Santenay, in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France. Established in the mid-19th century, the estate produces red and white wines from a number of Premier Cru and village-level appellations. Domaine Jessiaume is known for its parcel-focused viticulture, historic cellars, and regularly receives acclaim in international wine publications.
History
[edit]The estate was established by the Jessiaume family in the mid-19th century. It remained under family ownership for more than 150 years. In 2007, it was acquired by Scottish businessman Sir David Murray, who invested in the modernization of the winery while maintaining traditional practices.[1]
In 2020, the estate was purchased by Dr. Jean-François Le Bigot, a French scientist and wine enthusiast, bringing it back under French ownership.[2]

Winemaking
