The winery designed by the architect Mario Botta, now an iconic part of the estate and the appellation, overlooks the rows of vines. Five centuries separate this facade with its simple yet sculptural geographic lines from the picturesque atmosphere of the Chartreuse de Faugères, built in the 16th century as a hunting lodge and enjoying the same view. As well as being a remarkable work of architecture, the winery is also a technological tool designed for cuttingedge winemaking. As a true temple of wine, its excellent facilities (in particular its gravity-fed vat house) paired with the support of Michel Rolland, who has been the estate’s consultant oenologist since 1992, allow it to strive for perfection vintage after vintage.
Grand Cru Classé since 2012, reconfirmed in 2022
