Domaines Famille Picard

The Domaine Famille Picard in Chassagne-Montrachet was established in 1951. At that time, Louis Félix Picard was able to purchase a two-hectare vineyard in the community of Chagny. Soon afterwards, his son Michel Picard, just 15 years old, left school to enter his father’s business and to learn from scratch the career that would become his passion. He spent every moment of his free time crisscrossing Burgundy and getting to know vineyards and winemakers. In the early 1970s he took over the business with his wife, Liliane, who also comes from a winemaking family. Today their daughter Francine and son Gabriel Picard are writing the next chapter of this winery. In 2006 they took over responsibility for the production of 140 hectares of vines.
