Domaine Gachot-Monot has been a family-run estate since the late 19th century, and it is today run by Damien and Liselotte Gachot. The estate has been passed down through the maternal side of the family for five generations, and Damien’s grandmother ran the estate on her own from 1955 to 1978 after her husband died. Damien, who worked in California vineyards briefly, took over in 1990 and slowly expanded the vineyards to include 37-acres of red and white Côte de Nuits and Haute Côtes de Nuits appellations. The estate makes Premier Crus and numerous classified villages wines, as well as Cremant. Domaine Gachot-Monot has won awards in France for its wines.
