Sustainable Farming

Domaine Guillemard Clerc is a small family-owned boutique winery located between the Portes de Lyon and Chablis, in the heart of Cote de Beaune. Today, the winery is run by third-generation Corinne Guillemard-Clerc, following in the footsteps of her parents and grandparents as a passionate vinegrower.

When Corinne took over the vineyards, she continued to do what was traditionally done: farm grapes and then sell them. But eventually, that was not enough for her. She wanted to grow and literally enjoy the fruit of her labour – by turning them into wine. Over the course of the last years, she has been focusing on her passion and right now owns a very modest 25 acres in total.

Corinne is a meticulous winemaker. All of her parcels are hand-harvested and pressed immediately to retain maximum freshness. The judicious use of oak barrels, with never more than 20% new, also contributes to her wines’ fantastic life and purity. Domaine Guillemard Clerc has also recently obtained the HEV (High Environmental Value) certification in 2020.
