The estate : Winemakers since 1951, the Picard family is a large sibling group within the Burgundy wine world. Heading up 4 estates, they own 140 hectares in the region. Created at the end of the 2000s, Au Pied du Mont Chauve is the latest addition to the family and the brilliant idea of Francine Picard. She succeeded her father Michel in 2007 and thus took over the management of all the family estates. The estate covers 35 hectares located in the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune: Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, as well as several Grands Crus such as Corton-Bressandes and Corton-Charlemagne. The vines have been cultivated biodynamically for several years, although no official certification appears on the bottles. The winemaking is carried out with the aim of bringing out the uniqueness of each climate, and the great expertise in maturation enhances their originality. Despite the young age of the estate, the family's long experience has quickly propelled the wines to the top, and critics unanimously praise the work of this magnificent estate.
