Simonnet-Febvre 118 Items Follow

The Maison and Domaine of Simonnet-Febvre were founded in 1840 by Jean Febvre, a barrel maker by trade from Montbard. In the early days, the house was known for its sparkling Chardonnays from Chablis, known today as Crémant de Bourgogne. Over the years, the Febvres acquired holdings in some of the greatest terroirs in Chablis. Today, the Domaine comprises approximately 9 acres, crowned by a 2/3-acre plot in the Grand Cru vineyard of Les Preuses, with 3.5 acres of Premier Cru Mont de Milieu and 4.7 acres of communal Chablis vineyards. Maison Louis Latour acquired Simonnet-Febvre in 2003. Since its purchase, the Latours have entirely renovated the winemaking facilities, installing new stainless steel tanks and pneumatic presses. The vineyards have been reworked with the same sustainable vineyard practices utilized in Latour's 125-acre domain in the Côte d'Or. Maison Louis Latour also hired a talented new winemaker, Jean-Philippe Archambaud.
