Plot by plot, they built it up to about 9 hectares on the Côte de Beaune, and later moved the estate to Meursault to give it room to grow, with new buildings and equipment. In 2014 their son Quentin came back after studying at the wine school of Mâcon-Davayé and brought a new focus on export: the wines now go to more than ten countries. The vines run from the Maranges and Santenay to Meursault and Pommard. They are farmed along organic lines, without certification, with much of the work by hand, from green harvesting to picking, and the wines age for 9 to 18 months. ## What you will see A visit with the family covers the vineyard work and the cellar before a tasting of red and white wines from across the domaine's villages. As the family both makes and sells its wines, you can buy the bottles you like on the spot. ## Planning your visit Allow about an hour. Visits and tastings are by appointment only: contact the domaine through its website to arrange one. It stands on the main road through Meursault, the D974, beside the leprosarium, about 1.5 kilometres from Meursault station. ## Did you know? The domaine's neighbour is Meursault's leprosarium, founded in the 12th century by Duke Hugh II of Burgundy to care for the sick and the poor, above all those with leprosy. ## Around Domaine Jeannot What to combine with Domaine Jeannot on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/meursault) (1 km away): The great white-wine village of the Côte de Beaune, with a glazed-tile town hall and 19 premiers crus. - [Monthélie](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/monthelie) (2 km away): A small hillside village between Volnay and Meursault, once compared to a village in Tuscany. - [Volnay](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/volnay) (3 km away): A hillside village high above the vines, loved for the finesse of its red wines. ### Châteaux - [Château de Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-meursault) (1 km away): A wine château with vast vaulted cellars, a walled Chardonnay clos and a forest garden. - [Château de Cîteaux](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-citeaux) (1 km away): A 19th-century château in Meursault, built over the cellars of the monks of Cîteaux. - [Château fort de Meursault (Hôtel de ville)](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-fort-de-meursault-hotel-de-ville), 1 km away: Meursault's town hall, a 14th-century castle keep under a bright glazed tile roof. ### Things to do - [Le Caveau de Meursault – Moillard](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/caveau-moillard-meursault) (1 km away): A modern tasting space at the entrance to Meursault, run by the Moillard wine house. - [Domaine Boyer-Martenot](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-boyer-martenot-meursault) (1 km away): A Meursault family estate since 1917, with a tasting cellar open on weekdays, with or without an appointment. - [Église Saint-Nicolas de Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/eglise-saint-nicolas-meursault) (1 km away): Meursault's Gothic church, whose 57-metre stone spire rises above the village and its vineyards. ### Restaurants - [Auprès du Clocher](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/aupres-du-clocher-pommard) (4 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Pommard's newly starred table, where the butcher's son cooks beside the church - [Ed.Em](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/ed-em-chassagne-montrachet) (6 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred couple's table in the heart of Montrachet country, with 600 wines to match - [Le Carmin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-carmin-beaune) (7 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Christophe Quéant's poised, product-first cooking in a Renaissance house on place Carnot ### Events - **Monday, 16 November 2026 (Expected dates, not yet confirmed)** · [La Paulée de Meursault](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/paulee-de-meursault): Burgundy's most generous harvest lunch, where every guest brings their finest bottles.
