Lupé-Cholet

In 1903 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Alexandre de Mayol de Lupé and Félix de Cholet decided to join forces to create the House which still bears their name, Lupe Cholet. "To bring together the best of soil, vine and human skill to produce wines of unique personality" was their motto and is still ours today.

In the vineyards, our team selects the best grapes destined for vinification in our cellars at Château du Clos de Lupé. Careful selection of the grapes, light pressing, partial or total de-stemming, cold maceration prior to fermentation are the techniques used to imprint our style on our wines. : rich and complex wines, redolent of ripe fruits which progressively reveal themselves at each stage in their evolution.
