With a rich winemaking heritage, Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier was established in 2005. The winery followed a sad generational change after Romain Lignier, the son of Hubert Lignier, passed away from cancer in 2004. Romain was the passionate winemaker of the Domaine Hubert Lignier who led it into its era of success. Romain left behind his American wife, Kellen, and their two small children Lucie and Auguste. Heavily influenced by a great respect of Burgundy's terroirs, it was his dream to craft wines with character. After years of working alongside her husband, Kellen decided to take over the domaine and devote her life to her husband's work. In the hopes that one day their children would follow in their footsteps, the domaine was renamed after Lucie and Auguste. Sadly, Kellen went back to the US in 2013 after she lost more vineyards to Hubert once the leases were up.
