In 1935, 22 year old Marcel Mugneret, Dominique’s grandfather, created the domaine Marcel Mugneret in Vosne-Romanée, which would later become Domaine Denis, today Dominique Mugneret.
"This domaine was created in the early 1930's by my wife's grandfather," Michel Digioia explains as he is sitting in his cellar in the middle of Chambolle-Musigny. In a way that was the beginning of the era of the grand vins.
