DOMAINE DU COUVENT
.
Domaine du Couvent owns vineyards in the most prestigious villages of the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits-Saint-Georges are the playing fields of Philippe Chéron, the winemaker and owner behind this estate. He operates out of two wineries in century-old buildings in Gevrey-Chambertin and in Nuits-Saint-Georges, both with cool underground cellars perfect for peaceful ageing of the wines.
.
Although the name seems relatively new on the fine Burgundy producers’ scene, the family behind the domaine is making wine for over 90 years, in Burgundy and in the Rhône.
.
Domaine du Couvent was born in 2019, when Philippe Chéron of Domaine Misset-Chéron, bought the shares of his partner in Domaine des Varoilles, Gilbert Hammel. After 3 decades in charge of the winemaking at Varoilles, Gilbert had decided to retire.
.
From Domaine des Varoilles, Philippe retained the prized ‘monopoles’ Gevrey- Chambertin 1er Cru La Romanée as well as the Clos du Couvent and the Clos du Meix des Ouches. He also kept the grand cru plot in Charmes-Chambertin.
.
In his family domain, Philippe owns a plot in the famous Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers, as well as plots in the grand cru vineyards of the Clos de Vougeot and Charmes-Chambertin and some high quality ‘lieux-dits’ in Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée. The newly formed estate has a very serious collection of sites.
.
Philippe Chéron is no stranger to the art of crafting fine wines. His family had owned lands in Burgundy for three generations and he has been running the family estate since 2011. He became custodian of these vineyards when his father retired. He had himself followed the steps of his own father Paul Misset (Philppe’s grandfather) who founded Misset-Chéron in the 1930’s. Prior to that, Philippe had worked at other properties in Burgundy.
.
Philippe’s winemaking philosophy is about terroir expression, allowing the wines to express the characteristics of each vineyard by hands-off winemaking and careful use of new oak barrels for ageing (15% and only lightly toasted). In the vineyard, he follows the principles of organic viticulture and manual work. The wines are therefore fruit-driven, fresh and energetic with an elegant structure. The characters of each individual terroir are expressed with finesse and subtlety.
.
It is somehow a daunting task nowadays to find a winery in the Côte de Nuits (and in Burgundy in general) which produces very good wines at a reasonable price and high quality. Domaine du Couvent is one of these few. It is a superstar in the making, we strongly believe. His popularity and recognition as high quality producer will rise fast, as we see more vintages being released.
.
Now is an excellent time to try the wines yourself. The full range is in stock in our Singapore cellars.
