Domaine Francois Legros

The history of this domain begin in 1988, when François Legros  took over the family estate of his parents and his uncle. Since then, he  has gradually expanded the vineyard by the purchase of new plots and the taking of vines in tenant farming and sharecropping. 

Domaine Francois Legros is a small producer of parcels in the best places around Nuit St George. The estate covers 7.5 hectares of vineyards with 20 different appellations on the coasts of Nuits and Beaune, 5 hectares are planted in Pinot Noir and 2 hectares in Chardonnay. 

The vineyard of the Côte de Nuits extends over 20 kilometers in a long narrow band oriented North / South, from Marsannay la Côte to Corgoloin,  and represents 2,500 hectares including 350 hectares in the commune of Nuits St Georges.

Today, François daughter Charlotte,  graduated from the wine school of Beaune, has  joined the field to implement the latest novelties of the wine world.
