While honing their craft at Domaines Mugnier, Roulot, Clos De Tart, Benjamin Leroux, and a remarkable passage in Valais with the great Marie-Thérèse Chappaz they saw the potential of Maranges' windy, forest-adjacent plots – an appellation traditionally regarded as too cold to produce 'fine' artisanal wines, where crops were mostly sold off in bulk.

Since taking over the domaine in January 2020, the couple's dedication to great organic farming has transformed these underrated old-vine hillsides into some of Burgundy's most exciting terroirs.

Spanning 5 hectares of vineyards that the couple converted to organics (now certified), the microclimate Maranges is somewhat cooler than in other parts of the Côte, resulting in a harvest up to two weeks later than in the Côte de Beaune’s more celebrated villages. As a result, Cassiopée wines are often brighter and more structured, with a transcendent purity and minerality.

The winery's ambitious approach to winemaking, combined with respect for the soil and biodiversity, has resulted in a collection of wines that are not only characterised by purity and mineral content, but also reflect the talent and passion of their creators. With each harvest, Domaine de Cassiopée continues to attract international attention, which promises a bright future for this young and dynamic winery.

One of their two parcels on this site, located southwest of Sampigny on a hillside that faces the village and the Montagnes des Trois Croix. 2/3rd comes from a four-year-old planting on limestone rock parcel, the rest from older vines on granitic rock. This vineyard is located on the site of an old forest and a good example of the uniqueness of Maranges with its woods and isolated plots.
