Maison Fatien Père & Fils
The wines of Maison Fatien are produced from almost 4 hectares of vineyards, exclusively worked by Charly Fatien. The parcels are spread across prestigious appellations in the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits: Gevrey Chambertin, Beaune, Pommard and Volnay. Maison Fatien adds to its range by making a very judicious selection of additional grapes.
Driven by their taste for prestigious Burgundy wines, the Fatiens have not held back in their determination to produce top quality wines. The finest possible facilities were established, right from the very first harvest, to create optimal conditions for a superior product. But the most important aspect is ‘time’. They have given themselves time for their investment to bear fruit. Respecting the rhythm of nature is essential for the production of exceptional wines.
“The most important aspect is that everything is well thought out and obeys the laws of nature. The goal is minimal interference, to let the wine take its own time. For example, the reds take two years to mature.” Charly Fatien explains.
“Quality starts with low yields on the vines, whether it’s for the wines from our own vineyards or for the grapes we buy in. Controlling the development of the vine is what really counts. That, and the important decision of when exactly to harvest”
