About Winery
Domaine des Chézeaux, based in Gevrey-Chambertin in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, was created in 1982 from the vineyard holdings of the Mercier family, who became the largest owners of Griotte-Chambertin and also held prized parcels in Clos Saint-Denis, Chambertin, and Gevrey 1er Crus. For decades, the estate’s wines were produced under long-term métayage agreements by renowned domaines such as Laurent Ponsot, René Leclerc, and Domaine Berthaut, meaning the name Chézeaux was little known despite its exceptional terroirs. In 2021, Charles van Canneyt and his wife Anne-Sophie acquired the domaine, gradually regaining control of its vineyards through complex negotiations under Burgundy law. This marked a new chapter, unifying the estate under their vision and allowing Domaine des Chézeaux to fully express its potential as a discreet but highly endowed Burgundy property.
