JJ Archambaud

Not often that you introduce a new Burgundy producer located in Vosne-Romanée, but here you are. “JJ” refers to brothers Jean-Christophe and Jean-Philippe Archambaud. I met the former at the tiny tasting room on a break from his day job running Château de Santenay.

“The Domaine was started by my grandfather, François Gerbet, who was born in the Pyrenees. During the Second World War, he was a soldier liberating France, and his tank literally stopped in the square outside, close to the mayor’s office. He met my grandmother, who was descended from the Bissey and Sirugue families, and they fell in love. After the war ended, he moved to Vosne-Romanée and lived in this very house. He started his own Domaine in 1946 and planted vines, about 15.5 hectares, with around 10-hectares in the Hautes Côtes, the rest in Vosne. He retired in the 1990s. In 2013, the holdings were split. [Readers may well recognize the name “Gerbet." In fact, Amélie Berthaut at Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is his cousin, and some of their vineyards like Petits-Mont lie next to each other.] We practice organic farming of our 5.36-hectares, including the Hautes Côtes. We sometimes use whole bunch, and we use four different cooperages in the vinification.”
