Adored by the greatest Michelin star chefs, Denis Jeandeau has become a true phenomenon. Régis Marcon, Le Pré Catelan, Lameloise, l'Arpège, l'Ambroisie, Guy Savoy, to name but a few, have his wines on their wine lists. The young winemaker has always been very attentive and rigorous in his winemaking style and has chosen to produce only a limited number of elite wines with a very selective distribution. 

William Kelley of the Parker Guide raves about them: “These are precise, elegant wines that subvert the Mâconnais stereotypes of unctuousness and corpulence, and their classy style will certainly win them many admirers. So, I once again encourage readers who haven't encountered this impressive producer's wines to seek them out.”
