Presentation
Located in Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Duvernay P&F is a family estate founded in 1970 by Jean Duvernay. Driven by a deep passion for viticulture, he built his cellar alone for a decade before gradually expanding the estate. In 1984, his son Jean-Luc, a graduate of the Beaune viticultural school, continued this expansion, bringing the estate's surface to 20 hectares today. Since 2015, Floriane Duvernay, a trained oenologist, has joined the estate, bringing a modern and technical vision to production. The estate practices integrated pest management, environmentally conscious, and has strengthened its commitment by building a tasting room dedicated to welcoming wine enthusiasts. The wines from the estate, whether red or white, reveal an authentic expression of their terroir, combining freshness, balance, and elegance. A beautiful signature of Côte Chalonnaise.
