Famille Masse is a family-owned domaine nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise, a hidden gem in Bourgogne known for its charm and authenticity. Based in the village of Saint-Désert, the estate has been producing wines for over a century, blending tradition with a modern approach. Now led by Guillaume Masse, the fourth generation of the family, the domaine remains committed to crafting elegant and approachable wines that reflect the region’s unique terroirs.

Specializing in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Famille Masse draws from diverse vineyard holdings across the Côte Chalonnaise, including prestigious parcels in Mercurey and Givry. These vineyards, rooted in clay-limestone and mineral-rich soils, produce wines that balance finesse, complexity, and accessibility. 

Sustainability and innovation are at the heart of Famille Masse’s philosophy. Guillaume Masse combines sustainable viticulture practices with modern winemaking techniques, such as precise temperature control during fermentation, to enhance the purity of fruit and express the character of the terroirs. Despite their growing reputation, the estate remains a tight-knit family operation, with every member playing a role in its success.
