Domaine d'Aubigny
Nine centuries of viticulture
A history that begins with the monks of Cîteaux
La Rose Pourpre and Domaine d'Aubigny do not share a roof — but they share an owner. The estate's wines are available at the house for direct purchase and tasting.
The estate traces its origins to the 12th century, when Cistercian monks cleared the hills above Mercurey. For centuries, the Rule of Saint Benedict guided their work: labour, silence, respect for the land. This is not a marketing legend — it is an archive.
Timeline
A working farm, not just a vineyard
The métairie tradition
Domaine d'Aubigny is not a typical wine estate. It is a métairie — a complete working farm where vines grow alongside cattle, goats and horses. This tradition goes back to the Cistercian monks of Cîteaux, who never separated the vineyard from the wider life of the land. Here, the earth sustains in more ways than wine alone.
Organic certification since 2007 is not a marketing argument. It is the natural continuation of a way of working inherited over nine centuries.
