Established in 1766, this domaine has been passed down through the generations from father to son. During the centuries, the domaine has been acquiring portions of vineyards. Now,in addition to the Pommard village appellations, Domaine Billard-Gonnet has eight premier crus (listed below). The soil in the vineyard is such that production is under the legal limits imposed by French law.
