Michel Gayot grew up surrounded by vineyards and spent his childhood among the vines. He has what he calls ‘a visceral attachment to the earth and what it offers if it is nurtured and taken care of’. This value was installed in Michel by his parents, who passed on their passion of cultivating the Burgundy terroir to Michel and his siblings. After studying management, Michel started his career in the world of wine trading, both abroad and in France. He then acquired the vineyard in the heart of Burgundy
which he now takes care of, in addition to the family estate in Beaujolais. He strives to achieve excellent typicity in his wines, with expressive minerality in his whites, and delicacy and finesse in his reds
