Romain and Jean-Guillaume Chapuis
Brothers Romain and Jean-Guillaume, rooted in Aloxe-Corton, decided to create their own Domaine in 2009: Chapuis Frères. Based in Pommard, they produce wines under two different labels, Chapuis Frères (cuvees classic) and Chapuis et Chapuis (cuvees with no added sulfites).
Younger brother Romain, a trained oenologist, has remained a passionate student of wine growing well after finishing his studies; he has worked at domaines throughout France (Alsace, Bordeaux, Beaujolais), as well as in Lebanon and New Zealand. After his return to Burgundy, Romain notably worked as Philippe Pacalet’s top cellar master. He brings a wealth of knowledge and connections, which allows him to continuously refine his winemaking techniques and stay at the forefront of innovation.
In addition to their exceptional wines, Romain has also ventured into crafting artisanal beer. This unique offering should not be missed, as it showcases his creativity and passion for exploring different realms of the beverage industry. The attention to detail and dedication to quality that characterizes their wines is also evident in the craftsmanship of their beers.
In the sky-rocketing Burgundy market, where prices seem to decouple from quality, Romain is producing some of the best value-for-money Burgundy wines. Furthermore, his connections with renowned producers and his venture into artisanal beer highlight his commitment to pushing boundaries and offering diverse and exceptional experiences to wine and beer enthusiasts alike.
