Millemann

There is a new producer in Burgundy. Pierre Millemann may be a "rookie" in Burgundy in terms of production, but his roots, knowledge and wines tell a different story...

History of Millemann

Pierre Millemann grew up between Anjou, where his parents lived, and Alsace, where his grandparents lived and where he spent all his holidays. His father and grandfather, both wine lovers and connoisseurs, soon began to pass on their passion.
Pierre began to study in Paris. During his first internship he met René Renou (President of the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine), who quickly became his mentor. Fascinated by the development of wine, Pierre quickly understood that the terroir was the key. That's why he went to work in the vineyards and cellars for a year. First in Germany, then at Château Carbonnieux (Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux) and finally at Charles Heidsieck (Champagne). He returned to university to perfect his knowledge and obtained a diploma in oenology in Champagne and then a national diploma in oenology in Dijon. He then continued to gain experience by holding various positions in different regions in France. It was in the Jura, where he worked as a cellar master, that he met Stephanie, then a sommelier student, who became his wife.

Thanks to their experiences and the very positive results on the estates where they worked together, Pierre and Stéphanie set up their own oenological advisory structure in 2003. In a constant search for new techniques, Pierre completed his education with a master's degree in oenological research in Dijon and began training future oenologists at the University of Burgundy, as a part-time teacher. The family now works with the best estates in Burgundy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and the United States. Their daughter Charlotte recently joined the family business and started training with her father.

Production by Millemann

Pierre has started producing wine since 2017. He made his debut with his Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru, which was immediately well received in the wine world. Given his knowledge, expertise and finesse, it was no wonder that his wines would turn out well. Because it is still a fairly new producer, not much is yet known about its production and vinification methods. We do know that he produces a number of cuvées. Today he makes wines from the most exclusive vineyards in Burgundy. Think of Corton-Charlemagne, Chambertin, Bonnes-Mares and Corton-Renardes.
