Domaine du Couvent
Located in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte du Nuits, Domaine du Couvent is a 10.5-hectare estate managed by Philippe Chéron with his sons, Paul and Hugo. The domaine name evokes the quiet sanctity of the 12th-century Gevrey convent whose monks tended the ‘Clos du Couvent’, one of three monopoles under the watchful care of the Chérons. Equally guarded within a repository of diverse grands terroirs are four Premier crus, Gevrey La Romanée Monopole, Gevrey Champonnet, Chambolle Feusselotes, and Nuits Aux Murgers; plus two Grand crus, consisting of two exceptionally well-situated hectares in Le Clos Vougeot and a near-.4-hectare plot in Charmes-Chambertin Aux Mazoyères, no less. The estate produces 15 wines, the story of a family passion for wine, exceptional heritage and a deep commitment to sustainable and vibrant viticulture.
