Date Founded: 1958 Owner: Jean-Claude and Nicolas Fayolle Winery Philosophy: All our vineyards are tended and harvested manually due to the incline of the slopes. We also limit treatment of the vines to better manage soil erosion. Our “cuvees” are issued for specific parcels in our vineyards and we neither destem nor use new oak barrels to preserve each “cuvee’s” specificity. The estate was founded by Nicolas’ grand-father Jules Fayolle in 1958. Nicolas is the 3rd generation in this family owned estate. Nicolas has a degree in “Viticulture- Oenologie” and “Commercial science”.
