Histoire du domaine
Domaine Sigaut stems from a family originally from Morey-Saint-Denis, and its history dates back to the early 19th century. The Sigaut family now represents the fifth generation to cultivate the vines. In the early 1950s, Maurice Sigaut carried out the estate’s first bottlings, notably a Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru ‘Les Sentiers’. In 1977, his son Hervé took over the vineyards from his grandmother Andrée and established an initial 5-hectare estate, before later taking over his father’s vineyards. Anne, then working as an interior designer and upholsterer in Nancy, took part in her first grape harvest at the estate in 1984. The estate expanded its presence in the Côte de Beaune in 1994 with the acquisition of a plot in Puligny-Montrachet. Anne Sigaut produced her first vintage in 2004. When Hervé Sigaut officially retired in 2008, she took over the management of the estate and assumed responsibility for winemaking. The vineyard now covers 7 hectares in Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Puligny-Montrachet.
Les Sentiers
Les Sentiers is a Premier Cru climat in Chambolle-Musigny, located north of the village near the border with Morey-Saint-Denis. It forms a strip of vineyards immediately below Bonnes-Mares, from which it is mainly separated by the Route des Grands Crus. Facing south-east, it occupies a moderate slope that tends to flatten out towards the bottom. The clayey to clay-limestone soils, which are quite deep and mixed with stones, rest in a limestone sector heavily compartmentalized by faults.

Histoire de la parcelle
Les Sentiers was already individualized in 19th-century wine classifications: Jules Lavalle ranked it as a third cuvée in 1855, while the 1861 statistical map more favorably distinguished its upper section. The Chambolle-Musigny appellation was recognized on September 11, 1936. Today, Les Sentiers is among the climats officially recognized with the "Premier Cru" designation.
