Vaudoisey Creusefond winery
Domaine Vaudoisey-Creusefond is a family-owned wine estate located in Pommard, in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The family’s winemaking tradition dates back to the 18th century, with the current estate established in 1946 by Bernard Vaudoisey and his wife, Christiane Creusefond. Now managed by their son Jean-Pierre and his wife Colette, and joined by their son Pierre in 2007, the domaine continues to uphold its heritage while embracing modern techniques.
The estate covers approximately 9 hectares, with vineyards spread across prestigious appellations such as Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Monthelie, Auxey-Duresses, and Beaune. Their plots include several Premier Cru sites, reflecting the diversity and richness of Burgundy’s terroirs. The domaine is committed to sustainable viticulture, working the soils, limiting chemical treatments, and respecting the environment to allow the vines to express themselves fully.
In the vineyard, meticulous attention is paid to each parcel. The team practices careful pruning, debudding, and green harvesting to control yields and ensure optimal grape quality. Harvesting is done by hand, allowing for a selective picking of the best grapes. This approach ensures that each wine reflects the unique character of its terroir.
In the cellar, traditional Burgundian methods are favored, combined with a thoughtful use of modern equipment. The grapes are sorted and destemmed before fermentation in temperature-controlled vats. The wines are aged in French oak barrels, with a proportion of new oak used depending on the cuvée and vintage. This aging process allows the wines to develop complexity and finesse while preserving the purity of fruit and the expression of their origin.
Domaine Vaudoisey-Creusefond produces a range of red and white wines. Notable reds include Pommard and Volnay, both village and Premier Cru bottlings, known for their elegance, structure, and aging potential. Their Meursault and Auxey-Duresses whites are characterized by freshness, minerality, and aromatic complexity. The domaine’s wines are recognized for their balance, depth, and ability to reflect the nuances of each vintage and vineyard site.
Visitors to the estate are welcomed for tastings and tours, where they can discover the history, philosophy, and craftsmanship behind each wine. The family shares their passion for Burgundy and their commitment to quality, offering insights into the viticultural and winemaking practices that define the domaine.
