A family story...
Come to think of it, the genesis of this project dates back to ... 1967 !!! I was not yet born, but it was a harvest season, a story of friendship , and of course a love story, which brought me here ...
​
That year, my father, then a medical student in Paris, came to make his first harvest in Auxey-Duresses, at Piguet ...
At the wheel of his 2CV, with some friends, he will meet, at the height of his 20 years, Burgundy, the vineyards, friends who will remain dear to him ... and Meursault , because it is a good meeting that it's about!
He came back the following year to cut grapes, wear hoods and drink some famous white wines, he is sure: he will be a doctor in Meursault, and not elsewhere !!!
​
The Piguet family will welcome her during 10 years of harvest, there will remain a bond of friendship that still endures ... Among the harvesters of 1969, a Parisian friend who will go back to her arm (legend says that she needed hold on to it one evening at Paulée!) : he and my mother would get married in 1971, at the town hall of Auxey-Duresses and finally arrive in Meursault in 1976, with my brother and the certainty that their life is here ...
Freshly installed, my father consults in an annex to our house, but the location is not quite suitable: in 1983, he bought a barn in a small common courtyard, at 2 rue Robert Leblanc , and built his office. medical, a dentist's office and 2 apartments upstairs. He will work there 29 years, and we keep my brother, my sister and I, memories of measurements, of some bites and big bandages, and of the candies that he kept for the children ... My mother and him gave us the chance to taste the pleasures of gastronomy and wine, made us discover the traditions of the wine world ...
​
After the retirement of the "Toubib", the building was emptied ... and the idea, the desire to develop this place, to give it a second life, gained ground ... My husband, passionate about renovation, felt the courage to spend a few months there, and I wanted to find my job, the hotel business, hospitality ... and my village!
​
To the question "If Emilie were a city?", A friend replied "Meursault ... because she always comes back " : and that's it, I kept coming back to it, until 'finally, I'm settling there!
