DUPONT-FAHN

Domaine Dupont-Fahn is located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. Today, Raymond Dupond-Fahn manages the family estate, created by his grandfather Jean in 1975. The early years of the domaine's history were marked by the downgrading of a parcel of land. This parcel straddled Les Perrières de Meursault and Sous le Dos d'Âne. Jean Dupont-Fahn felt that the terroir was too rocky. He then obtained authorization from the INAO to deposit 20 cm of topsoil on the plot. Following complaints from neighboring winegrowers, the parcel was downgraded to white Burgundy. It was never reclassified.
