ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
David Croix is originally from Montlouis sur Loire, he studied at the University of Dijon. Prior to landing his position as winemaker at Camille Giroud at age 24, David worked with Benjamin Leroux, whom is originally from Beaune, and introduced him to the region’s community.
In 2005, David and a group of private investors bought Domaine Duchet and started Domaine des Croix. Domaine Duchet’s holdings were focused around Beaune along with an interesting parcel of Corton-Charlemagne and Corton, so David’s experience at Camille Giroud came in really hand. His mission since has been to dedicate himself to showing off the character of these Beaune terroirs, which for too long have been under appreciated.
