i. Biography
Arnaud Tessier has headed Domaine Tessier in Meursault, Burgundy, France since 2006, bringing to the domaine a sensibility shaped by years in the vines and a steady continuity of purpose. The work is rooted in family knowledge and in Meursault’s layered terrain, with Burgundy’s long memory carried forward through the patient rhythms of vineyard life.
The Climb
Working in the vineyards with his father at Family vineyards until 2006 gave Arnaud Tessier a practical foundation in the field. That kind of early vineyard work teaches discipline, close observation, and the day-to-day labor that defines the craft before it ever reaches a title. The experience also set a baseline of familiarity with the seasons, built from physical work and repeated attention to the vines over time. Since 2006, he has served as head of Domaine Tessier at Domaine Tessier, carrying that experience into responsibility for the whole estate. The move from working alongside his father at Family vineyards to leading the domaine reads as continuity rather than rupture: the same attachment to the vineyard, now extended to the management of the property as a whole.
Today
Since 2006, he has headed Domaine Tessier in Meursault, Burgundy, France. Arnaud Tessier remains closely tied to the place itself, with his name linked to the village, the region, and the traditions that shape Burgundy’s most closely watched estates. The role carries practical weight as well as recognition, and his present work is anchored in the early vineyard experience that first placed him within the family’s land and labor.
Signature
Arnaud's signature dishes include Meursault Les Casse-Têtes, Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot Dessus, Meursault Les Charmes Dessus, and Champ Perrier. Taken together, these names place his work squarely in Meursault and in the lieux-dits that define its map. The list points to a repertoire built around place-name precision, where appellation structure and vineyard identity do the descriptive work.
