Gilles and Nathalie Fèvre met at university where they both qualified as oenologists. Gilles' great grandfather began growing grapes and making wine in and around the village of Fontenay-Près-Chablis over a hundred years ago.
Today, they own 40 hectares of vines - all planted on Kimmeridgian limestone - throughout the region. However, only around 15 hectares is currently sold in bottle, the remainder being sold-off to negociants.
Gilles is in charge of viticulture. The finest possible grapes are grown with a fastidious, environmentally conscious approach to quality, lower yields and scrupulous selection. Nathalie oversees winemaking, where small, temperature controlled stainless steel tanks are used to vinify each parcel separately.
The resulting wines are beautiful expressions of classic, fine, concentrated, pure, steely, minerally Chablis.
