Domaine Bertrand Machard de Gramont – also known as Domaine Axelle Marchard de Gramont, or just Axelle is a great house from Burgundy which operates (certified) organic. Domaine Bertrand Machard de Gramont is a relatively small estate originating from Nuits-Saint-Georges. It has a total of six hectares, located mainly in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, but also with plots in Vosne-Romanee and Vergy. The domain has family ties with the estate Machard de Gramont in Premeaux and the estate Chantal Lescure in Nuits-Saint-Georges. It was founded in 1983 by Bertrand Machard de Gramont (father of Axelle) when his family domain was divided into three parts. Until then, Bertrand had worked on the family estate after a time at Domaine de Vogüe in Chambolle-Musigny, under the direction of Alain Roumier, the longtime director there. Axelle Machard de Gramont returned to Burgundy in 2004 to take on the vigneronne challenge. She now runs the estate, with support from her father.
