Producer Information

Didier Darviot learned the winemaking trade from his wife Geneviève’s father, Pierre Perrin, from whom he also acquired some prime vineyards with older vines in the Côte de Beaune. Pierre was a legendary figure in the wine making echelons of Meursault and Volnay. The first commercial bottling was a handful of cases of the 1989 vintage. In 2001, a family succession brought a prime half-hectare plot of 1er Cru Meursault Genèvrieres to round out the range of exquisite Meursault vineyards. The other jewels in the crown are the Blanchots-Dessus 1er Cru in Chassagne – literally under Montrachet and the Volnay Les Blanches and 1er Crus Gigotte and Santenots. The estate today spans 11 hectares and is internationally considered one of the finest sources of red & white Burgundy. It is an emphasis on the work in the vineyard which makes the difference at Darviot-Perrin. The vineyards are tended biodynamically which is just a small part of making fine Burgundy. The vital element is bringing healthy, ripe grapes to the presses and vats. Vinification is important, but cannot replace impeccable fruit from the vineyard. “Minimal intervention” is the watchword in the cellar, which is naturally cold and moist. Malolactic fermentations frequently take almost a year to complete, enhancing the complexity and quality of the wines. Didier officially retired in 2017, and in 2019, Didier’s son Pierre-Antonin took over winemaking duties after having worked for years in the foreign service. He learned from the best – his father, a master vigneron and one of the most meticulous and thoughtful winemakers in Burgundy. In just a short period of time, Pierre-Antonin has made the switch to 100% biodynamic production.
