How was the Faury estate born?

When Philippe Faury took over the estate in 1979, the family was selling wine, peaches and cherries, and most of their customers were local. Over the years, Philippe expanded their holdings to over eleven hectares, and extended sales to an international clientele. In addition, he shared his know-how with his son, Lionel. In 2006, Lionel took over the reins of Domaine Faury, comfortably assuming the role of vineyard and cellar manager, to build on his father's hard work and take the estate to new heights.

What you need to know about Domaine Faury's vineyard:

The steep slopes of the northern Rhône present a difficult terrain where farming is only possible on terraces.
On these terraced slopes, the Faury vines take full advantage of the southern and south-eastern sun exposure, thus benefiting from optimal ripening.
The combination of predominantly granitic soil, high stem inclusion, gentle crushing of the grapes with a pneumatic press and temperature-controlled fermentation provides a vibrancy and freshness not often found in northern Rhône wines.
The pigeage is not done with tools, but gently, on foot, which is not only poetic, but also pragmatic.
Unlike many other winemakers in the region, the winemakers have a strong aversion to new oak. While all the wines are aged in wood, new barrels are kept to a minimum, and Lionel opts for larger formats better suited to his wines, mainly demi-muids and foudres.
Made from prime terroirs and with minimal intervention in the cellar, these wines are loaded with classic flavours and display a remarkable rustic elegance.
