Jean Ropiteau found his trading house with his brothers-in-law. At the age of 24, this winegrower and cooper from Monthélie, whose Burgundian roots date back to the 16th century, quickly convinced himself that this means of transport would allow him to make his Burgundy wines known.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the House has continued to grow, remaining faithful to its values. In 1940, Auguste Ropiteau bought the current Meursault cellars. The same year, he purchased a multi-crop estate at the Hospices de Beaune, for a pittance, because the time was not really conducive to the sale of wines. The success is such that the name Ropiteau has become synonymous with great Meursault. In the village cemetery, the funeral slab of Marguerite Ropiteau is engraved with these two letters: SG. For what ? Nothing more Burgundy. It means “Save the Genevrières”. This Burgundy woman fought body and soul to preserve its rank of Premier Cru in this magnificent climate.
