About Winery
The Leclerc family’s winemaking story began when René Leclerc started bottling wines under his own name in the mid-1970s, quickly earning recognition as one of Burgundy’s most skilled craftsmen. Known for his philosophy of making wine from experience rather than technical manipulation, René built a reputation for consistently producing expressive, fruit-forward Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin. Today, his son François, trained both in France and the United States, works closely with him to carry forward this artisanal approach. Together, they craft wines under both the René Leclerc and François Leclerc labels, using traditional methods such as gentle pressing to emphasize purity of fruit and terroir. With François gradually assuming leadership, the domaine remains firmly rooted in Gevrey-Chambertin’s heritage while embracing continuity across generations.
