Épineuil is a Burgundy village 20 kilometers northeast of Chablis. Like Chablis, Épineuil is characterized by a Kimmeridgian soil type - chalky, limestone-rich, and embedded with fossilized seashells - and a cooler climate compared with the Côte d’Or. Bourgogne Épineuil is the regional appellation for the red wines and rosés produced in and around the village of Épineuil. Dominique Gruhier launched his domaine in 1990 and obtained organic certification for his 10 hectares of vineyards in 2016.
