The story
According to available sources, Thomas Henry — the son of a local winegrower and with experience as a vineyard technician — acquired a small estate in Comblanchien in the 2000s and gradually expanded the operation, leading the estate to cultivate vineyards between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Pommard. The tasting room is listed as Pommard/Comblanchien in online listings.
