The village of Santenay is home to one of Burgundy’s most exciting small domains, managed by Jean-Marc Vincent and his wife Anne-Marie. Established in 1997, Domaine Jean-Marc Vincent began with vineyards inherited from Jean-Marc’s grandfather. Today, the estate spans just over 5 hectares, with vineyards located in Santenay, Auxey-Duresses, and Puligny-Montrachet.
Jean-Marc Vincent is no ordinary winemaker. His philosophy revolves around respect for the land and a dedication to quality that shines through in every bottle. Vincent’s approach to winemaking is one of precision and patience, allowing the natural attributes of the terroir to express themselves fully.
