Winemaking
The vines are 65 years old and grow on southeast-facing soils of clay-limestone with Alterit in the Seuvrées, Reniards, and Aux Echezeaux vineyards. After pressing, the wines are clarified for two weeks and aged in barrels. The maturation takes place with 30% in new barrels and 70% in barrels 1 to 5 years old. After 13 months of aging, the wines are transferred to tanks, rested for 3 months, and bottled without filtration or fining.
Our tasting note
Scarlet red in color with violet reflections. The nose is rich with aromas of cocoa, roasted hazelnuts, black cherries, juicy raspberries, nutmeg, green pepper, sesame, and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is firm and flavorful with soft tannins, offering a digestible and complex harmony thanks to the refreshing tension.
François Feuillet
The François Feuillet estate in Chevannes is the result of the collaboration between two different generations, united by a shared passion for wine: François Feuillet, a prominent French businessman, and David Duband, a young oenologist. François Feuillet fell in love with Burgundy and began purchasing vineyards in the 1990s, focusing on small parcels in the villages of Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. In the 1990s, François Feuillet also met oenologist David Duband, who had just completed his studies in oenology in Beaune. The two began a partnership that continues to this day. In 1998, Domaine François Feuillet produced its first Grand Cru Echézeaux, and since then, it has acquired some of the best Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the region. Today, the estate also includes vineyards in the villages of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, and Morey-Saint-Denis. In winemaking, oenologist David Duband prefers a non-interventionist approach to produce typical, harmonious, and balanced wines that reflect the unique characteristics of each parcel.
