i. Biography
François Crochet has been the winegrower and winemaker at Domaine François Crochet in Bué since 1998, when he took over the family estate from his father, Robert. That handover kept the work in one place and one line: tending the vines, reading the seasons, and carrying a family domaine forward without breaking its rhythm.
Coming Up
Training at Beaune gave François Crochet the base that the role requires: disciplined work, close attention, and the kind of precision that begins in the vineyard long before the wine is seen in bottle. In 1998, he became winegrower and winemaker at Domaine François Crochet, and that position has stayed constant ever since. The continuity matters in this sort of estate work: the same name on the label, the same responsibility in the cellar, and the same daily demand for restraint.
Where They Are Now
Since 1998, François Crochet has served as winegrower and winemaker at Domaine François Crochet in Bué, France. More than two decades on, the estate remains the center of the practice: inherited knowledge put to use season after season, with the family property in Bué anchoring a career defined by continuity rather than change.
