I won’t tell you a back to family roots story, but one about a Renaissance …

I am Caroline Fyot. After pursuing an career in insurance, I needed to reconnect with nature and fulfil a childhood dream: to create a wine estate.

After obtaining my Professional Agricultural Certificate at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune and completing several internships in Côte de Nuits and Côte Chalonnaise, my first vintage was born in 2018.

I chose Burgundy, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Château de Garnerot to create my estate because of its deep historical roots in the wine making tradition. My mission is to give a new life to the Château de Garnerot, by creating touristic activities around wine and the flavours of Mercurey. An 18th Century property, in the village of Mercurey, the Château de Garnerot has hosted for several years the Saint Vincent Guild, the “Grands Jours de Bourgogne” event, the “Saint Vincent Tournante” event, as well as many other wine events.

Come and join me in the discovery of a wonderful terroir! Welcome to Château de Garnerot!

I farm 7.2 hectares of land, mainly in Côte Chalonnaise and Côte de Beaune. I also have a small wine merchant activity (Chai Garnerot), which allows me to offer a wider range of wines.

The vineyards in my estate have been certified organic farming since 2022. A necessary condition for working in accordance with my convictions but also for respecting the terroirs.

I choose to farm high potential vineyards: old rootstock selection, soil quality and plot orientation.

The terroirs of the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Beaune offer a diversity that I want to show through my wines. Each plot produces a specific cuvée. From Aligoté to Premier Cru, I take the same care and the same attention to my vines and my wines.

At Château de Garnerot, I wish to enhance our regional Burgundy appellations.

You are invited to (re) discover the historic terroir of Southern Burgundy and its specificities through our cuvées.

Respect for Nature, the Environment and People is the pillar of this Renaissance.

I seek to reveal the personality of each of our wines, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, so that an Aligoté as well as a Bourgogne or a Mercurey 1er Cru expresses all of its personality.

The notion of social responsibility is essential for me and guides the way I manage the estate, both in the vineyards and in the choice of my service providers and suppliers.

I was therefore involved from the start in the organic approach, with a biodynamic approach on certain plots, in order to deeply reconnect the plants to their soils, the elements and to promote biodiversity.
