Romain Chapuis
Pommard, Burgundy, France
In Côte de Beaune, the heart of Pommard, brothers Romain and Jean-Guillaume Chapuis started their winery in 2009. In the years prior, Romain has been following his passion for wine in Lebanon and Australia where he learned from multiple winemakers in different cellars. Following this he has spent 3 years working together with Philippe Pacalet, cousin of Marcel Lapierre.
Romain and Jean-Guillaume combined their skills and passion for gastronomy, wine and terroir into making wine, something they had been dreaming of for years. Their method consists of buying grapes from various farmers in the area as well as tending to their own vineyards. However, they select the grapes meticulously: composition and condition of the soils, exposure, age of the vines and variety are all considered with the utmost care.
The wines are made with minimal intervention, always fermenting with indigenous yeasts, never filtered en only adding sulphites in a couple of wines when absolutely necessary. They differentiate between their zero zero natural wines such as the Rosé, Pet Nat and the Haute Côtes de Beaune and wonderful, more classical wines such as the Chorey Les Beaune, Savigny and even a Corton Charlemagne (available on request). It is definitely worth trying these wines, especially for the non-funky natural wine enthusiast!
