[message]Collection: Philippe and Aurelie Derouet
Philippe Derouet always wanted to be a winemaker. His father and grandfather were winemakers, but fate intervened to keep Phillipe from taking over from his family. Instead, he became a chartered accountant and worked in the wine industry with vine growers and winemakers. This experience, combined with a childhood spent on vineyards and wineries, helped him become a real expert.
However, it wasn’t until he bought Domaine des Chézelles from Alain Marcadet in June 2016 that Philippe Derouet put his expertise into practice. After a careful handover of the estate from Marcadet, Philippe began working with his daughter Aurélie (herself an oenology graduate) to produce the Sauvignon Blanc that made Domaine des Chézelles’ reputation.
