La Pierre Ronde - Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne
Based in Beaune, La Pierre Ronde is the wine merchant and vinification structure created by oenologist and agricultural engineer Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne. It primarily produces wines from the Côte de Beaune using purchased grapes, supplemented since 2025 by a first farmed plot in Puligny-Montrachet. Vinification and aging combine barrels, foudres, and amphorae, with a moderate use of sulfur.

Histoire du domaine
A graduate of École Polytechnique, agricultural engineer, and qualified oenologist, Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne began learning wine tasting in 1997 with Philippe Bourguignon. After an initial career in industrial strategy consulting, he notably worked a vintage with Olivier Humbrecht at Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, before moving to Burgundy in 2007. He worked for eight years alongside Anne-Claude Leflaive at Domaine Leflaive and concurrently founded the École des Vins et des Terroirs, active until 2016. Following his departure from Domaine Leflaive in 2015, he developed a consulting activity in organic and biodynamic viticulture, then took charge of vinification at Château de Chassagne-Montrachet for the 2019 and 2020 vintages. The company La Pierre Ronde was established in 2012 in Saint-Romain, initially focused on vinification, wine trading, consulting, and training; its headquarters were transferred to Beaune in 2022. Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne launched his own range of wines with the 2021 vintage, essentially from grapes purchased from selected partners. In early 2025, he took over one hectare in AOC Bourgogne in Puligny-Montrachet, marking the beginning of production also derived from directly farmed vines.
Les Murgers des Dents de Chien [Blanc]
Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is a climat officially classified as Premier Cru of the Saint-Aubin appellation, located on the southern heights of the commune, bordering the Puligny-Montrachet vineyard and above the Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet grands crus. Its hillside, facing south to south-east, is characterized by shallow and very stony terrain where the limestone bedrock can outcrop. References dedicated to the climat point out silts on limestone formations, locally marly, attributed to the Bathonian.

Histoire de la parcelle
The Saint-Aubin appellation was recognized in 1937. The specifications state that a list of climats authorized to benefit from the Premier Cru designation was established in 1943 from renowned crus, notably those already distinguished by the 1860 wine classification; Les Murgers des Dents de Chien is included today in the regulatory list of Premier Cru climats.
