Born in 1864, in the heart of the Pouilly vineyards, Joseph Jacquet turned naturally towards the exploitation of the vine and started out with 2 hectares.
In 1901, his daughter, Marie, married Francis Corsin, a winegrower in his own right and owner of 2.5 hectares in Davayé. Their son, Joseph Corsin followed in the family tradition and extended the estate over three villages: Davayé, Fuissé and Solutré. In 1935, after the creation of the A.O.C., he gave a new momentum to the future of the business by being among the first to sell part of his production in bottles, as Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon Blanc. At the same time, he worked as a broker for renowned wine merchants, one of whom was an importer of fine wines in the United States. This allowed Domaine Corsin to take on an international dimension, from Tokyo to New York, and its wines went on to win a string of prizes.
His son, André Corsin, continued the adventure. In 1971, at the birth of the Saint-Véran appellation, André extended the plots worked in the village of Davayé and acquired new vineyard-plots in Pouilly-Fuissé. His two sons, Jean-Jacques and Gilles, joined the family business in 1974 and 1983 respectively, developing it into the 13.6-hectare estate it is today.
The fifth generation of winemakers, in turn, is perpetuating the passion and know-how that have characterised the Domaine Corsin’s white wines for over a century.
