Domaine David Renaud

More about this Producer

Like so many winemakers in Burgundy, but very very few in Irancy, Renaud believes in organic viticulture and eschews the use of synthetic fungicide at all costs. He uses only organic pesticides. This allows for the purest rendering of the terroirs of Irancy in his wines. “I like to think of myself as an orchestra conductor,” says Renaud, “who is able to create beautiful compositions thanks to the talented people working with and around me.” He continues: “Without these people wine would not exist, and I would not be a winemaker.”

David Renaud feels that he did not ‘become’ a winemaker, he was, effectively, born one. “From my grandfathers I learned about demand, rigor, and the passion of hard work; these are the values indispensable to my life as a winemaker.” His domaine, which has been in his family for four generations, sits on 11 hectares of vine under Kimmeridgean marl and brown limestone. It unfurls within the best territories in Irancy, Vincelottes and Cravant at altitudes ranging from 150-250 meters. Slopes are southwest exposure.
