Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Boudots 2011 Bouteille (75cl)

Histoire du domaine

The estate’s history is rooted in the traditions of the Confuron and Noëllat families, who have long been established in the Côte de Nuits. Jean-Jacques Confuron worked alongside his brother Christian until 1980, before establishing his own estate in the early 1980s. Following Jean-Jacques Confuron’s illness and subsequent death in 1983, his wife Andrée Noëllat and their daughter Sophie ensured the estate’s continued operation. Sophie Meunier-Confuron, who trained at the Beaune wine college, went on to work with her husband Alain Meunier. The estate’s current organisational structure, the SCEA du Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron, was established in 1988. That same year, family-owned plots from the Noëllat inheritance were added to the estate, notably in Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Boudots and Vosne-Romanée. The vineyard has been managed using organic methods since the late 1980s or early 1990s, with some plots being worked by horse. Louis Meunier gradually took over responsibility for winemaking from 2020 onwards and is now co-manager of the company alongside Sophie Meunier-Confuron. The available legal documents also indicate a transfer of shares from Alain and Sophie Meunier to their three children.
