While there are numerous luminaries in the celestial sphere of Burgundy, few are as admired as Nicolas Faure. His winemaking skills and dedication to the spirit of Burgundy are unparalleled. For a modest man who shows little concern for financial rewards, he has paradoxically managed to craft wines that command some of the highest prices in the market while simultaneously earning the respect of the most discerning palates.
Following his formal studies at the Lycée Viticole in Beaune, Nicolas gained invaluable experience at several iconic estates: Romanée-Conti, Jean-Louis Chave, and Prieuré-Roch. Nicolas Faure is married to Amélie Berthaut, a talented winemaker who manages Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, and works closely with her at her family domaine.
But his real passion lies in crafting of his own wines. To do so, he selects exceptional vineyards, typically of modest appellation yet high potential. Currently a mere one hectare, but including vines of Pinot Noir, Aligoté, Gamay, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Nicolas manually harvests and then ferments both red and white grapes in whole clusters over ambient yeasts, then ages the wines in used barrels.
