About Winery
Château de Charodon, located just outside Beaune in Burgundy, has deep viticultural roots but an unusual trajectory. The estate ceased wine production between 1884 and 2010, despite its long family lineage and prime vineyard land. Its revival came in 2010, led by Louis Vallet, a descendant of the original family, who brought both Burgundian tradition and international winemaking experience to the project. Working alongside his brother Thibault and father Bernard (co-owner of Pierre Bourrée in Gevrey-Chambertin), Louis established Charodon as a dynamic new domaine. He began with just 1,200 bottles in 2010, expanding production more than tenfold by 2021. Farming is organic, winemaking is minimalist with indigenous yeast fermentations, and fruit is sourced through long-term contracts and select purchases. Today, Château de Charodon represents both a rebirth of historic land and a modern, energetic vision for Burgundy winemaking.
