Alexandrine is the fourth generation on this domain, one of the smaller domains in Gevrey-Chambertin. Her working method is quite similar to that of her father, the man who already started selling bottled wines. The only thing that differs, according to Alexandrine, is the eye for detail. She explains this by indicating that she is a woman. Furthermore, instead of a green harvest, she has chosen to remove "shoots" much earlier to get more air in the vineyard and thus prevent too many bunches. For the domain's only white wine, Marsannay, she chooses not to let the wine undergo malolactic fermentation.

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
