Philippe CHRON.
The Domaine du Couvent presents itself as a family property led by Philippe Chéron and installed in the former convent of Gevrey-Chambertin. This 10 hectare vineyard extends over exceptional terroirs exclusively on the Côte de Nuits. Its vineyard forms a mosaic of plots mainly spread over the communes of Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny and Vougeot; but also in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Marsannay la Côte.
Vineyard dating from the 12th century, property at the time of the monks of Cluny, this closed of more than 1 hectare, is a monopoly of the Domaine du Couvent. It benefits from a southern exposure at the exit of the Chaudron combe and culminates at 350 meters above sea level on the edge of the woods. The vine originally planted with 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir was replanted in the 60s. "La Romanée" is located on a white marl soil, with a profusion of very dominant pebbles which store heat during the day and the restore the night. The thin scree soil leading to the limestone subsoil leads to a very high contribution of the various trace elements present in the rocks, giving this rare wine an elegance, an exquisite finesse and a minerality incomparable to the other terroirs of Gevrey Chambertin. The nature of this terroir will offer you a wine with supple tannins, endless aromatic complexity, flawless finesse and elegance.

After a scientific training in biology, his winegrowing history begins with the chance of encounters, according to the internships and the various jobs he has held. Frédéric LEPRINCE knew that one day he would have a business of his own, but first he had to learn, discover, observe and do.
For about twenty years, he discovered all the facets of the profession. Vineyard work in Beaujolais vintages, the art of Bordeaux blend, purchase of grapes and vinification from great terroirs in Burgundy ... all these moments will be decisive in that each will bring their stone to their House, step by step.
Still marked by their spirit and their know-how, here are some decisive meetings of its first life.
Frédéric LEPRINCE settled for ten years in Nantoux, a small wine-growing village in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, where he had the chance to buy an old farmhouse, a heritage witness to a time not so distant 'we lived in near autarky in the heights. A barn transformed into a cellar, a cool cellar which was no doubt used to store vegetables, an old bread oven that warms the body and provides a little comfort after a hard day of harvesting ...
