The Sirugue domaine originally belongs to Jean-Francois Jayer who was the paternal uncle of Henri-Jayer, the “King” of Burgundy. JF Jayer and his wife had a son and a daughter (named Jeanne) who subsequently married Joseph Sirugue. Hence the Sirugue surname was introduced to the Jayer family. Robert, who is the father of the current management team (siblings Marie-France & Jean-Louis Sirugue), inherited the land from his dad’s brother, Joseph.
