Comte Senard

Comte Senard is a wine estate in Aloxe-Corton with origins in 1857, when Jules Senard created the Corton Clos des Meix monopole. In 2005, Lorraine Senard, the family's sixth generation, succeeded her father Philippe Senard. She is the winemaker and co-manages the estate with Mathieu Senard.

The estate covers 10 hectares and practices organic viticulture, using cover crops and mechanical weeding throughout, without herbicides or insecticides. Grapes are harvested by hand and sorted first in the vineyard, then again at the winery, while destemming may be full, partial or omitted depending on the vintage. Its wines include Corton Clos des Meix monopole Grand Cru, from a 2.5-hectare climat, alongside Corton Paulands, Corton Bressandes and Corton Clos du Roi.
