Overview:
The ebullient Alix Millot has been making the wines in succession to her father Jean-Marc since 2016, though he is still very much in evidence in a supporting role. Alix is one of the young Burgundians born in the late 1980s who are providing a dynamic resurgence to an already flourishing Burgundy.

She uses 20% new wood for village and 1er cru wines, typically 30% for the grands crus, and aims for a light hand on extraction. The Savigny and Côte de Nuits Villages vineyards come from her paternal grandfather, while her maternal grandfather, Henri Gouroux, had the Vosne-Romanée vineyards. The Clos de Vougeot is from the Grand Maupertui sector, and labelled as such, while a couple of barrels from the oldest vines (planted in 1949) of their Echezeaux are now bottled separately.
