The 10-hectare family estate is located at the foot of the Corton hill. The estate’s vineyards are spread across the communes of Ladoix-Serrigny, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses, Chorey-lès-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton.
This location enables us to cultivate a diversity of appellations, from regional Bourgogne to Premiers Crus and Grands Crus.
Domaine Cachat-Ocquidant is rooted in a family tradition in which knowledge of the individual plots, experience of the profession and a deep attachment to the land occupy a central place.
We are delighted to welcome you to our cellars in Ladoix-Serrigny. As vineyard work requires our regular presence throughout the year, we recommend that you contact us before your visit.
Domaine Cachat-Ocquidant is first and foremost a family story.
Over the generations, skills, experience and knowledge of the vineyards have been passed down. Each vintage enriches this expertise and strengthens a close relationship with the estate’s vines and plots.
This continuity does not prevent practices from evolving. On the contrary, it allows us to combine the experience acquired over time with close observation of the vines and the conditions of each year.
Behind every bottle lies the work of a family, but also the expression of a place, a plot and a vintage.
From the foot of the Corton hill to the slopes of Savigny-lès-Beaune, and from Pernand-Vergelesses to Chorey-lès-Beaune, the estate cultivates a mosaic of plots with varied identities.
Each site has its own particularities: soil type, slope, aspect, altitude and immediate surroundings. These differences directly influence the development of the vine and the character of the grapes.
This diversity is one of the estate’s great assets. Each cuvée seeks to preserve the personality of its origin and express the characteristics of its terroir as faithfully as possible.
In this way, each wine tells the story of a different place and carries within it the uniqueness of the plot from which it comes.
At the estate, we practise sustainable disease management. Treatments are carried out according to the weather conditions and initiated thanks to the professionalism of our vineyard technician.
Frequent ploughing is carried out throughout the estate whenever necessary, to encourage microbial life and keep the soil free of weeds.
We also carry out leaf-thinning on the side of the row facing the rising sun, allowing the grapes to benefit from every ray of sunlight.
A green harvest is carried out whenever necessary to achieve optimum ripeness.
The work in the vineyards follows the rhythm of the seasons, and no year is ever quite like the one before.
Winter marks the time for pruning and preparing for the next growing cycle. In spring, the vines resume their growth and require constant attention.
Summer is devoted to guiding vegetative growth and monitoring the ripening of the grapes.
Finally come the harvests, the culmination of many months of work and the starting point of a new stage in the cellar.
This annual rhythm demands patience, availability and the ability to adapt. It reminds us that every vintage is unique and that wine remains deeply connected to the conditions of the year in which it was born.
