Domaine Fayolle Fils & Fille

 

Region: Rhône, Northern

 

Place: Gervans, Crozes-Hermitage

 

Domaine de Fayolle Fils et Fille at Gervans is owned and managed by brother and sister Laurent and Céline.  Laurent is responsible for wine making and Céline for administration & sales.  It was created in 2002 when their father and uncle divided the family estate that had been established for four generations. Their grandfather, a pioneer independent vigneron in the appellation, started to bottle his own wine in 1959.

Laruent and Céline inherited many old vines, with an average age of around forty years.  Most are in the commune of Crozes-Hermitage itself and are mainly on hill slopes.  They have also bought a plot of vines on very different terroir at Roche-de-Glun).
