Philippe and Aurelie Derouet

Philippe Derouet spent years as a chartered accountant working with vignerons, absorbing deep winemaking knowledge before buying Domaine des Chézelles in the Loire in 2016 — fulfilling a lifelong ambition deferred by circumstance but never abandoned. His childhood on vineyards, professional expertise in the wine industry and Aurélie's partnership have quickly made this a carefully managed and improving small estate.
