but had until then brought the grapes to the cooperative in Courthezon. Aimé
Sabon bought more land through the years and built cellars at the domaine.
Since 1991 his son Christophe Sabon after oenologic education in Beaune has
been taking over more and more. Aimé Sabon is still working, but on his way
