Our history
I set up Charmocort by Antonin Cosnier in 2018. Initially a micro-trading company, I then adopted the status of négociant vinificateur, then operator, as I gradually took over the family plots from the estate created by my grandfather, Marius Delarche, from the vines of his wife Jeanne.
Antonin Cosnier
A ‘Winemaker Bourguignon’ trained in oenology at the Catholic University of Porto, I merge my expertise in the food industry, acquired during my international career, with my love for the family vineyards. The result is quality wines. I seek harmony between tradition and innovation, with a deep respect for the Burgundy terroir.

Come and discover exceptional wines, revealing the unique character of each terroir. These include the prestigious Corton Grand Cru Les Renardes (Red), the seductive Pernand-Vergelesses Les Fichots Premier Cru (Red), the sublime Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru (White), the elegant Pernand-Vergelesses climat La Morand (White), the refined Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru climat En Caradeux (White), and the fresh Bourgogne Aligoté (White).
Each bottle embodies my dedication to quality and faithfully reflects the essence of the terroir.
Viticulture and winemaking
With a surface area of just over one hectare, the estate cultivates five parcels in four different appellations. The small size of the plots means that I prefer meticulous manual work to mechanical intervention.
Surrounded by winegrower friends, my cooper and my customers, the winery is a place for experimentation. Inspired by the garage wines of Bordeaux, I make confidential cuvées to bring out the best in each parcel. I experiment with different barrels, sizes, toast and grain, and other containers for ageing. I meticulously adjust the length of maturation and filtration, embracing the complexity of the winemaker's craft. This approach, combined with my industrial experience, allows me to care for each cuvée in a unique and optimal way.
