ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Aurlien Chatagnier created his own domaine in 2002, when he was just in his early 20s. He doesnt come from a winemaking family, but as a teenager he worked in the vines for Domaine Jamet, where he became inspired to learn more about winemaking. He worked for several years with Franois Villard, who eventually pushed him to head out on his own. Starting with just over 1 hectare of rented vines, Aurlien has steadily built up a domaine of almost 10 hectares by purchasing, bartering, and replanting vineyards around the town of Saint-Pierre-de-Boeuf at the Northern extreme of the Saint Joseph appellation. The vineyards are predominantly granite, and very steep. The house style leans towards a lean, pure style of winemaking, and shows the reason why some of the best producers in the area decided to pass the torch over to Aurlien as one of the best young winemakers in the region.
