Jérôme Galeyrand

Coming Up

Working as harvester/worked at Domaine Alain Burguet at Domaine Alain Burguet in Gevrey-Chambertin from 1996 put Jérôme Galeyrand close to the daily mechanics of vineyard work. The hours were spent in the rows, reading fruit and season, and learning how much of winegrowing depends on timing, repetition, and attention to what the vineyard will give. That early position established the practical base of his métier, where knowledge is accumulated through work rather than declared. Since 2002, he has been the founder and winemaker of Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand. Founding the domaine brought together the experience gained in the vines with the responsibility of working under his own name. The work since then has been marked by continuity: care in the field, precision in the cellar, and a steady refusal of unnecessary display.

Where They Are Now

Since 2002, Galeyrand has been the founder of Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand in Gevrey-Chambertin, France. He also works as winemaker at the estate. That role keeps him tied to the full cycle of the domaine, from vineyard to cellar, with the repetition of each season shaping the character of the wines. The work remains anchored in place, and in the discipline that comes from long use of the same ground and the same craft.

Signature

Jérôme's signature wines include La Justice, Billard, Croisette, Les Retraits, and Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand Gevrey-Chambertin Justice 2023. These cuvées map the domaine’s working vocabulary and show where his approach is most legible. Read together, they point to a portfolio built from parcels, place names, and the patient handling of each separate lot.

In Their Words “I had to work in the vines, to connect my little experience as a salesman with wine.” “The first parcel I took on lease was Les Retraits in Comblanchien.”
