The Story: The story of Deux Roches is nearly 100 years old, when Joanny Collovray settled in this small village in the south of Burgundy a few kilometres west of Mâcon, farming the land, making goat’s cheeses and growing various crops. Some years later, Christian Collovray, grandson of Joanny, partnered with childhood friend Jean-Luc Terrier. They shared a love of the vines and of wine and became even closer when they married two sisters, Brigitte and Florence, also from a family of winegrowers.

The four of them dreamed of together creating an estate to make wine from Christian’s vines, and those of his father. A year later, in 1986 the history of the Domaine truly began, when this dream became a reality. In the time since, the estate's reputation has only grown, balancing a reverence for tradition with a keen understanding of the region's terroir to create truly remarkable wines.

Why You'll Love Me: Floral notes reminiscent of honeysuckle and acacia dominate on the nose. The palate is firm yet round, delicately structured and showing just the right amount of minerality, with a gently lingering finish redolent of citrus zest.
