Georges Comte

Since 1989, Georges Comte has been making some of the most elegant and timeless wines in France.

He lives and works in the quiet village of Émagny in Doubs, a small region somewhere between Jura, Burgundy and Alsace. His eight hectares of vineyards have glorious terroir, with soils containing a perfect combination of clay and limestone — imbuing his exceptional wines with structure, texture and focused minerality.

Georges is a true artisan; a master of his very specific craft. Working in an old cellar beneath his home, he keeps true to his tried and tested way of making wine — ageing in old barrels for at least two years, hand-bottling everything, and responding to nature’s cycles. He makes everything with no filtering, no additions and absolute patience, housing bottles in his cellar until he deems them ready for drinking.

These wines have enormous character that embody what is meant by the phrase “living wine”. They shift and change with time, revealing ever-more interesting and delicious qualities. Made with real dedication and artistry, these are wines to appreciate and savour.
