Dominique Cornin founded his eponymous estate in 1993, and has since passed the reins on to his son, Romain, who studied winemaking in the U.S and New Zealand, as well as in the Mâcon. With holdings of 12.5 hectares across multiple appellations, the estate celebrates the different terroirs of each individual site. Many of the plots have very old vines, some more than a century old.

Since 1998, all the farmed grounds have been cultivated without synthetic herbicides. For this reason, the rows between vines are left grassy and are mechanically hoed with specific, inter-row tools .After an experiment on one hectare of the grounds in 2003, the domain has been cultivated based on biodynamic principles. Their main objective is to produce healthy grapes, in a rich, living soil, leaving a minimal ecological footprint.

The harvest is by hand, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and the single-vineyard wines aged in used oak barrels and demi-muids. Intervention is kept to a minimum here, the grapes are guided from vine to bottle with gravity flow, and the wines are neither fined nor filtered. The Cornin wines show purity and elegance while expressing their origins, which are the guiding principles of this estate.
