Founded in the 1920s by Paul Diconne, Domaine Diconne is established in Auxey-Duresses, in the Côte de Beaune. Paul initiated this viticultural adventure by cultivating a vacant estate, which he gradually expanded with family plots. The tradition continued with his son Jean-Pierre, who joined the estate in the 1970s, along with his wife Marie-Rose. Together, they contributed to the expansion of the domain, before handing over management to their son Christophe in the early 2000s.
Today, Christophe Diconne cultivates approximately 10.5 hectares of vines spread across the prestigious appellations of Auxey-Duresses, Meursault and Pommard. His expertise and passion for respecting the terroir have enabled the domain to produce wines of character, recognised for their typicity and quality.
Domaine Diconne extends across several exceptional terroirs of the Côte de Beaune, notably in Auxey-Duresses, Meursault and Pommard. These appellations benefit from an ideal climate for viticulture, with predominantly limestone and clay-limestone soils, perfect for the development of grape varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Christophe Diconne takes great pride in cultivating his vines with respect for the soil and biodiversity. Sustainable farming practices, combined with manual harvesting, allow for the best preservation of grape quality. Some of the domain's vines are centuries old, anchored in a rich terroir that reflects all the diversity of Burgundy.
At Domaine Diconne, vinification is carried out in a traditional and meticulous manner, with particular attention paid to each step. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully sorted to retain only the best for vinification.
The red wines are fully destemmed, then aged in oak barrels for one year. New wood is used sparingly, at around 20%, so as not to mask the subtleties of the terroir. As for the white wines, they also benefit from barrel ageing for 12 months, followed by a period in vats to perfect their maturation. This process results in elegant and complex wines, combining structure, finesse and length on the palate.
