Vineyards The first purchases of vineyards by the Domaine François Feuillet were made in the communes of Nuits - Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée. In 2005 the company expanded through the acquisition of the Truchot Martin estate whose vineyards were located in the municipalities of Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin.

In 2009 the Domaine François Feuillet bought parcels in Chambertin and Latricières-

Chambertin. The owned vineyards are conducted following the dictates of organic farming.

Vinification The grapes are harvested by hand in 20-kilo boxes: the selection takes place both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Subsequently the grapes are partially destemmed (from 30% to 50% of the harvest). During the alcoholic fermentation, great attention and care is taken to obtain the correct extraction of the tannins. The wine is then aged in oak barrels (between 30% and 50% new ones are used depending on the year). Bottling is done without filtration or clarification.

Features Bourgogne Rouge on the nose reveals notes of red fruits, spices, while on the palate it is characterized by a nice freshness.
