Our wines are labelled "Vercingetorix" or "VX" for short. The name is derived from a Gallic hero Vercingetorix who became chieftain under the threat of Roman invasion. Vercingetorix united the clans of Burgundy against Caesar and the Roman legions.

Vercingetorix adopted a "scorched earth" policy against the Romans which preserved only the precious vineyards of Burgundy and the main settlement Averticum. Vercingetorix is honored to this day by local Burgundians for his bravery and the preservation of the noble Pinot noir grape of Burgundy.

We continue to honor his name at our vineyard, by producing small quantities of high quality Burgundian style pinot wines.
