Winemaking
Vosne-Romanée is a small, often overlooked corner of Burgundy, characterized by its soils of limestone and clay marl. The aging process occurs with 40% in new barrels and 60% 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
The color varies depending on age, ranging from purplish red in youth to dark ruby red with increasing maturity. On the nose, aromas of cranberries, strawberries, forest floor, dried herbs, and rich spices. On the palate, very fresh, with nice fullness, fine and digestible tannins, balanced structure, and a long finish.
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.
