Coming from a family of farmers spanning four generations, Manuel has followed his passion for wine since childhood to become a winemaker. Deeply connected to his roots, he has developed his estate in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, while also acquiring vineyards in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. With a comprehensive range spanning from Regional appellations to Grands Crus, our estate prioritizes sustainable viticulture to protect the environment. Hand-harvesting and rigorous selection of the grapes allow us to produce wines that fully express their terroir.

Domaine Olivier Gard
Established in 1990 in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, just outside Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Olivier Gard is run by Manuel Olivier on approximately 11 hectares. The estate cultivates, among other things, a plot of Aligoté historically linked to the region’s berries—blackcurrants, raspberries, and strawberries—which the family continues to grow and sell directly.
The Aligoté Vieilles Vignes white wines—clean, crisp, and mineral-driven—embody an unpretentious approach focused on the grape variety’s freshness and character. One unique feature: Manuel Olivier also offers his wines under the name “Manuel Olivier”—but our exclusive selection under the Olivier Gard label avoids any direct competition. Our entry-level wines in the Côte de Nuits regional AOP.
