The history of the Domaine dates back to 1760 with Gabriel Ragot who settled in Mercurey as a winemaker. In the middle of the 19th century, Louis Ragot settled in Givry with a mixed farming farm where the vines were still quite confidential. In 1960, the vineyard area was still only 5 ha but it was replanted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and in 1973, it extended over 7 ha.
The great leap in quality was made by the two cousins Jean-Paul and Jean-Pierre, who in 1984 took over the property, which is now called Domaine Ragot. In 2002, Nicolas joined forces with his father Jean-Paul and together they led a complete restructuring of the estate with the creation of a new vat room, a barrel cellar and new plantings.
At the beginning of 2008, Nicolas Ragot took over the estate alone, which now has 9 hectares with the production of 8 vintages, 3 of which are in 1er Cru: Clos Jus and La Grande Berge in red and Crausot in white. Today, Domaine Ragot offers some of the best white and red wines in Givry.
