The story of Domaine Ballot-Millot begins in 2001 under the ownership and leadership of Charles Ballot. Charles was a dedicated and motivated young vigneron. He took over and started managing his father’s business in 2001. It was a notable domaine of Meursault in France that had remained over several years and amassed quite a few vineyards since the late years of the 17th century. Charles wished to make a name for himself using the winery. He did so by implementing natural farming techniques and processes and adding a sorting table in the parcels. Additionally, he reduced the overall yields of the vineyards, concentrating on the quality of the wines produced by Domaine Ballot-Millot. On top of that, Charles prevented and avoided chemicals and synthetic treatments in the lands or cellar. Instead, he preferred a more natural approach to winemaking with minimal human interference.
