Domaine de La Luolle
Halfway through their careers, Sandrine and Olivier Dovergne swapped their jobs for their own estate in Moroges, in the Côte Chalonnaise. Since 2017 they have farmed around eight hectares organically and biodynamically, mostly around Givry. Their Écume de Terre 2022 earned a Coup de Cœur in the 2026 Guide Hachette.
