In 2016, the Goichot family took over this grand Domaine, which was owned by the Perret du Cray family since 1798. Château du Cray has a 22ha wine Domaine, north of Buxy in Saône-et-Loire. The vines stretch around the castle, which is located in the middle of a hillside, and have a very fortunate east to south-east exposure.
The vines grow in clay-limestone, but predominantly clay soils, characteristic of the Côte Chalonnaise. By taking charge of the Domine, the Goichot family is embarking on the winegrowing, winemaking and ageing methods that have presided over the notoriety of Château de Cray for over two centuries.
This wine gives tribute to traditional Burgundy methods by predominantly ageing in oak barrels, stirring the lees of the whites, manually punching down the reds and ageing on the lees.
