Jean Dauvissat
Jean’s grandson, the young and extremely talented Fabien Dauvissat, since taking over in 2009 has changed dramatically the style of the estate, farming organically (some vineyards managed with biodynamic principles), hand harvesting, and vinifying with spontaneous fermentations and without any chemical additives. His wines are of extreme purity and finesse and, due to the long maturation of 18 to 24 months in vat before bottling, they are mature and a joy to drink.
