Newly established in Volnay, François Morente’s domaine blends art and science, drawing on his background as a physics and chemistry teacher and musician. Since starting winemaking as a hobby in 2014, François has crafted his first commercial vintage in 2022, focusing on high-density plantings with 10,000 vines per hectare in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. His hands-on, horse plowed vineyards, meticulous care, and drastic approach to disbudding, reflect his passion for precision and terroir. The wines of François are in incredibly limited supply and should not be overlooked if you can find a bottle available.
