BEAUNE
Domaine
Françoise-André
La vie est belle en Bourgogne!!!
Situated at the foot of the centuries old Beaune ramparts in Burgundy, Domaine Françoise André’s estate spans over 7.5 hectares in the northerly Côte de Beaune, home of the famous hill of Corton. The André’s, with Lauriane at the helm and Jérome Després by her side, have put their passion for the vine and their love of the grape in each glass they create. Certified organic, each Village, 1er Cru and Grand Cru vineyard produce exceptional juice we are thrilled to share with Canada.
