WINEMAKER: Édouard Lepesme
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETY: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Organic
"We were introduced to Édouard Lepesme by the legendary Alice and Olivier De Moor in Chablis, who buy Eduoard’s fruit for some of their wines. The De Moors spoke extremely highly of him as a farmer and Vigneron, so off we went.
Édouard has worked in Burgundy for many years working for some of the best growers in the region (The De Moors, Thomas Pico, Claire Naudin and others). In 2011 he decided to follow his dream of making wine and farming his own fruit. Now he farms 13.5 hectares of vines in the Cote d’Auxerre, a small northern Burgundian region very close to Chablis, which until Phylloxera was a very famous and productive part of Burgundy. Today it represents only a small fraction of wine produced in the region, but the level of quality can be extraordinary, especially considering rising global temperatures and potential to ripen fruit in the more northern French wine regions.
Édouard is located in the village of Vaux-Auxerre and his vineyards are planted on the same chalky limestone soils found in the best vineyards of Chablis. He makes only a small amount of wine and sells the majority of his fruit to other winemakers. All of his vineyards are farmed organically and have been farmed this way since the 1990s. The vineyards are surrounded by beautiful cherry trees and organic wheat fields. The vineyard plots are planted on the two hillsides of the village of Vaux. The first is positioned between Vaux and Auxerre, which tends to have more clay and the other vineyard is south of Vaux, with more limestone." - Élevage Selections

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
