Situated in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Philippe Germain is a hidden treasure. Eschewing publicity and even declining offers from top restaurateurs to feature his wines, this exemplary, somewhat rebellious estate embodies remarkable success.

Relatively unknown and primarily distributing its cuvées to private individuals, the estate is exceptionally offering us a rare glimpse inside!
