Maison Louis Max

Vins de Bourgogne

Jean-François Joliette - President
Maison Louis Max was founded in 1859, in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy, a region renowned worldwide for its exceptional terroir. Our founder Eugueni Louis Max, emigrated from East Europe to produce wines after he fell in love with the region, its vineyards and its legendary grape varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.  A few years later, his son Theodore joined the family business. Together, they built the famous House where Maison Louis Max is still located today, with its beautiful cellar on two-levels, a rarity even in Burgundy. 
Throughout the 20th Century, Maison Louis Max expanded its business through the descendants of Eugueni Louis Max, with numerous long-term partnerships with vine growers in Burgundy but also in the South of France.
 To ensure maximum quality, Maison Louis Max also acquired its own Domaine in Burgundy, in Mercurey and Rully, as well as estates in the South: Château Pech-Latt in Corbières and Domaine la Lyre in Côtes-du-Rhône.
Today Wood Wines Imports brings from Le Sud of France the distribution of 2 of the wines from the great Louis Max collection. Focused on our style and philosophy we will walk the big apple with Tadem and Le Bon Temps
These wines were elaborated using its expertise end know-how of the Burgundian grapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and its knowledge of the Rhône Valley grape Viognier. Combining the best of the South and the North with our Tandem Chardonnay-Viognier and Grand Bi Pinot we bring to New York unique wine, faithful to the singular style of Louis Max.
