About the Maison:
Maison Louis Max was founded in 1859 by Yevgeny Louis Max, son of a wine trader from Georgia, Russia. According to family tradition,Yevgeny's father had as a young man fought in the army of the Czar, and after Napoleon's defeat in 1815, visited the vineyards of Burgundy before returning home. His tales of adventure, in France and in particular Burgundy, fired his son's imagination to such an extent that he grew determined that when an adult, he too would see those mythical vineyards.

Arriving in Beaune with some family knowledge of wine and lots of youthful enthusiasm, he set up his own trading company. Since that time, four generations of Max's have succeeded the founder : Theodore, Louis, Marcel and - since 1976- Laurent the current president.

Maison Louis Max is a producer of wines from its own vineyards as well Louis Max Wine Estate as a Negociant-Eleveur, having bought the beautiful Domaine de la Marche estate in Mercurey, with 67 acres of prime vineyard sites in the Mercurey and Mercurey 1er Cru appelations. The company also has contracts with wine growers totalling some 250 acres meticulously chosen in some of the best appelations of Chablis, Nuits St. Georges, Meursault, Clos de Vougeot, Volnay and Beaune.
