Manuel Olivier founded his domaine in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits in the late 1990s, starting with just a few hectares and steadily expanding into prestigious appellations including Marsannay, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vosne-Romanée. His philosophy emphasizes respect for terroir, sustainable viticulture, and crafting wines that balance finesse with authenticity. Today, Domaine Manuel Olivier is recognized for producing expressive Burgundies that combine tradition with a modern, thoughtful touch.
