Domaine Edmond Cornu & Fils

Edmond Cornu and his son Pierre run this family enterprise. Pierre has now taken on the title of proprietaire while Edmond remains principal advisor. The domaine has 15 hectares that are spread throughout the villages of the northern tier of the Cote de Beaune. Their wines capture the broad spectrum of sensory pleasures that the best of the wines from Ladoix, Aloxe, Chorey and Savigny supply.

The Cornu family settled in the town of Ladoix in 1870 and established the domaine in 1875. Edmond Cornu assumed command of the estate in 1956 and in 1959 began to bottle the fruits of his labor. Up to that time all wines made at the estate had been sold to negociants. As the private clientele increased, Cornu also expanded the domaine. With the ascension of Pierre to full participation in the domaine, this dynamic family aggressively pursued additional opportunities to acquire prime vineyard sites. Having expanded the domaine, Pierre is now joined by his cousin, Emmanuel Boireau, in supervising the vineyard and cellar work.
