In 1997, a mere forty years after having founded the domain that bears his name, Charles Joguet retired from winemaking to return to his other passion that never faded, painting.
Long term colleagues Jacques Genet, Alain Delaunay & Michel Pinard continued the good work and at the beginning of 2005, it was Michel Pinard's turn to hand over vineyard and cellar direction to François-Xavier.
François has worked at the domaine since 1998 gaining an extensive insight into and knowledge of the domain and its values.
His enthusiasm and his experience allow him to pursue the mission initiated by the domain's founder: ceaselessly cultivate the humility required for working the vines and producing truly elegant wine.
