AboutDomaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut
Six generations of the Ravaut family have worked from Ladoix-Serrigny, where Burgundy’s Beaune and Nuits sectors meet. Gaston and Pierre shaped the modern domaine before Vincent carried it forward, and Jules now represents the next generation beside him. The estate farms about twelve hectares across a range of Burgundy appellations.
Herbicides were abandoned in 2015, organic cultivation began in 2021, and organic certification followed with the 2024 vintage. Grapes are harvested by hand, with concrete vats used for the red wines before ageing.

$129.99
Blackberry and blackcurrant define the producer’s documented fruit profile, set within a stated balance of tannin and acidity. The fruit comes from Pinot Noir grown on the slopes of Comblanchien. After complete destemming and stainless-steel fermentation, the wine spends twelve months in French oak, including fifteen percent new barrels, followed by six months on fine lees before bottling.
Domaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut 2013 Aloxe-Corton Premier Cru
French Red
$169.99
Red and black fruits lead, with cherry and strawberry named in the producer’s profile. The palate is full-bodied and generous, carried by a powerful tannic structure. Hand harvesting, complete destemming and fermentation in stainless steel precede twelve months in French oak, including a small proportion of new barrels. Fruit and tannin remain the central features through the finish.
