Maxime Crotet

Maxime Crotet is a newcomer to the world of wine, having marketed his very first vintage in 2022, which he vinified in 2021.

Maxime Crotet is a pure Burgundian who was immersed in the world of wine and gastronomy during his childhood. From an early age, he was interested in this world and particularly in the different methods of vinification. He began his training with Frederic Cossard, a winegrower in Saint-Romain, for almost 10 years. There, he learned the management of vines in organic farming, as well as the methods of natural vinification, with aging without sulfur.

Convinced of this viticulture and vinification method that respects the environment, the product, and the terroir, he decided to start his own business and vinify his own wines in Beaune. To start, he brought organic grapes from the Rhone Valley and the Jura back to his winery. The harvests of red Burgundy were unfortunately very low in 2021, so he could only produce a few Pinot Noir from the Cotes de Nuits.

Building on his success in his first year, he intends to expand his trade next year, especially by offering more Burgundy. He also invested in a distillery to produce natural liqueurs and eau de vie! We will have the chance to taste these little treats in the middle of 2023.

Maxime Crotet is one of the rising stars of natural wines from Burgundy and France.
