Family Early beginnings

Brought up with his father's story, Evgueni decided in turn to come to Burgundy, to see for himself if what his father had said was true. Being of an energetic and determined nature, he undertook to found his own wine company in 1859.

The Louis Max Company had been born.

From father to son for four generations, wine has been part of the Louis Max family culture.
