Nicolas Faure

Inside Domaine Nicolas Faure’s very small cellar (really just a garage), is some of the most exciting wine happening in Burgundy. Nicolas is a true farmer. His day job is as vineyard manager for his equally talented wife, Amelie Berthaud of Domaine Berthaud-Gerbet. Previously he worked vineyards at Prieur-Roche and Domaine de la Romanee Contí. His own domaine is a small collection of parcels that totals just 1 hectare, allowing him to farm them all by himself the way he wants to. The wines are all about hedonistic enjoyment. And while one can praise the big, hot vintages, the cooler ones give a more delicate, refined view of the wines.
