{"title":"Domaine Denis Carre","description":"\u003cp\u003eDenis started his business in a garage. In its first year of operations – we are in the mid-1970s – that business produced three barrels of wine, all of it Passetoutgrains, the lowliest of wines on the Burgundy hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is how dreams – business dreams, anyway – begin. They start small, and then they build. Denis Carré built slowly, adding a few vines here and there, especially up in the hills above the Cote d’Or where land was still cheap. He eventually built a proper winery. Then one day he acquired vines in one of the famous villages of the Côte d’Or: Pommard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePommard is red wine country in the half of Burgundy, the Côte-de-Beaune, that is famous for white wine. It was traditionally produced by big negociants who made stern wines, and the village went a bit out of fashion for its brooding, backwards wines, but Denis Carré is not a negociant and his wines show a restrained hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarré fulfilled his dream. After over 30 years of hard work, his children took over the domaine. By then he had 13 hectares of his own vines. He will never travel to Mars, yet he can sit around a table with his children, enjoying a glass of Pommard, completely satisfied with the life he has lived.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/domaine-denis-carre.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
