History
The domaine was created in 2004, when both Philippe and his brother Bruno decided to go their separate ways and set up on their own. Philippe built himself a smart new cuverie on the outskirts of the village and hasn’t looked back. He has some cracking vineyards at his disposal, including some Chevalier-Montrachet. Philippe’s range offers something for everyone. At the lower end he produces wines which drink beautifully after a couple of years in bottle, whilst his top wines age with all the grace one could hope for.
He recently held a vertical tasting of all his Chevaliers to celebrate his tenth anniversary and the quality was terrific. His village wine sees about 20/25% new oak and thankfully is wonderfully approachable in youth, especially texturally. The 1ers Crus see around 35% new oak. The Chenevottes is the oldest plot with vines at around eighty years of age. These are delightful wines that offer much pleasure.
