Domaine Gaston et Pierre Ravaut

The estate winery has gradually developed over six generations around a small hamlet in Buisson. With just a few plots in the beginning, the estate now extends over a surface area of 45 acres and produces some 80,000 bottles per year.

It was after 1920 when Gaston Ravaut, known as “the Uncle” began producing wine for commercialization. Direct sales took off and the wine became the main source of revenue. Then, his son Pierre Ravaut took over. He who could have had a brilliant career (after having passed his baccalaureate exams) decided to spend his life making wine! This very colourful character was able to impose a style that continues today to mark the reputation of Maison Ravaut. Pierre Ravaut was able to produce premiers cru red wines under the name Ladoix, rather unknown at the time, which encouraged the curious amateurs to come discover the wines in his cellars from the Corton Mountain. It was thanks to the still growing quality of his products and his passion to make his land known that a number of visitors still come from all over France and Europe today to buy the wine directly from the winery.

But, very quickly, Gaston (“le Tounet”), Pierre’s son, took up the reins in the beginning of the 1970s. He offered even more meticulous care for the quality of the wines which has allowed the estate winery to grow in surface area from 25 acres to the 45 it owns today.
