Maison de la Chapelle

[Burgundian tradition and passion, and a new light shining in Irancy]

Maison de la Chapelle released its first vintage in 2014, the work of Delphine and Grégory Viennois, a Burgundian couple.

Delphine comes from a family of growers and has long-standing ties throughout Burgundy's cellars.

Grégory, an oenologist, trained under some of the most distinguished names in the business: the Burgundy houses Domaine Jacques Prieur and Domaine de l'Arlot, Château Smith Haut Lafitte and Stéphane Derenoncourt in Bordeaux, and M. Chapoutier and Ferraton Père & Fils in the Rhône.

Back in Burgundy and running his own operation, he also serves as technical director at Domaine Laroche in Chablis and as consultant to Quinta do Monte d'Oiro in Portugal.

The domaine lies in AOP Irancy, and the couple bottle parcel by parcel to bring out that most Burgundian of ideas, the climat.

Working with respect for Burgundian know-how and tradition, they make wines built around Pinot Noir. In Irancy, an appellation still little known, theirs is one of the most promising addresses, and the wines are treasures.
