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, quickly began to share their passion. Pierre began studying 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 terroir was key. Therefore, he spent a year working in the vineyards and cellars, first in Germany, then at Château Carbonnieux (Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux), and finally at Charles Heidsieck (Champagne). He returned to university to further his knowledge, earning a degree 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 of 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. Pierre has been producing wine since 2017. He debuted 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 his wines were so successful. Because he is still a relatively new producer, not much is known about his production and vinification methods. We do know, however, that he produces a number of cuvées. Today, he produces wines from the most exclusive vineyards in Burgundy, such as Corton-Charlemagne, Chambertin, Bonnes-Mares, and Corton-Renardes. Corton Renardes is a vineyard within the Corton Grand Cru, located in the Côte de Beaune. Known for its red wines made with Pinot Noir, Corton Renardes occupies the northeastern slopes of the Montagne de Corton hillside. The soils are rich in marl and iron, contributing to the distinctive, gamey, and earthy characteristics of the wines produced there. The name "Les Renardes" translates to "The Vixens," with some attributing the vineyard's spirited wine profile to the name. Although primarily a red wine region, some Chardonnay is also grown here for Corton-Charlemagne.
