BALLOT-MILLOT

Theorigins of Domaine Ballot Millot go back to the 17th century, to 1630. Back then, when Charles Ballot bought his first vines, he had no idea that he was beginning a long family history. In 2000, it was the sixteenth generation, in the person of another Charles Ballot, who led this prestigious Meursault domaine.

Following in his father Philippe's footsteps, Charles introduced ploughing and harvesting by hand. Respectful of his exceptional heritage and the environment, he outlaws chemical weeding. Today, he is preparing the estate's transition to organic farming. As such, it has a natural place among Burgundy's Grands Crus.
