Originally managed by the Douhairet family, the estate underwent a significant transformation in 1989 when renowned winemaker André Porcheret took the helm, merging his name with the domaine. Porcheret’s illustrious career includes roles as cellar master at the Hospices de Beaune and winemaker at Domaine Leroy. Today, his granddaughter, Cataldine Lippo, alongside her husband Vincent, continues the legacy, emphasizing sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking practices.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eCataldine Lippo, granddaughter of André Porcheret, leads the winemaking at Domaine Douhairet-Porcheret.
