DOMAINE CONFURON-COTETIDOT

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot is a distinguished family-run winery located in Vosne-Romanée, at the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. Established in 1964 through the union of the Confuron and Cotetidot families—both with deep-rooted viticultural traditions dating back to the 17th century—the estate now spans approximately 11 hectares of esteemed vineyards, including Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and Village appellations .

Under the stewardship of brothers Yves and Jean-Pierre Confuron, the domaine upholds a steadfast commitment to traditional Burgundian winemaking techniques. Notably, they employ 100% whole-cluster fermentation, a practice necessitated by their choice not to use a destemmer. This method requires harvesting grapes at optimal ripeness to ensure lignified stems, contributing to the wine’s structure and complexity. The wines undergo extended maceration periods of 2 to 3 weeks and are aged in barrels—predominantly second and third fill—for up to 24 months. Importantly, the wines are bottled without fining or filtration, preserving their authentic character . 

The domaine’s holdings are consistently located in the better locations within the given appellations. The Confuron family has a long history at the forefront of Burgundian viticulture and has a clone of Pinot Noir named after it. The vineyards have never been treated with synthetic herbicides or pesticides, and yields are tightly controlled through pruning and green harvesting .
