Faugier-Gonnet Hermitage Blanc
Faugier-Gonnet Hermitage Blanc is the result of a long friendship between Franck Faugier, from Domaine des Hauts Châssis, and Fabrice Gonnet, a passionate wine lover.
This wine has a deep color with amber hues and glints of copper. Continuing to develop with age, the fragrance remains rich with full floral and spicy notes of vanilla, grilled almonds, fresh wood, bergamot, marzipan, candied fruit and gingerbread. The dense and powerful taste is well balanced with a light mineral note.
It is an assembly of a selection of hand-harvested grapes from respectful producers of different plots. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures in oak barrels of 2 to 4 years old for a period of 8 to 12 months. After bottling, the wine is kept in the cellar for 12 months before being sold.

Domaine des Hauts Châssis
Domaine des Hauts Châssis is located in the heart of the place called Les Hauts Châssis in the south of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Franck Faugier took over the daily management of this beautiful family domain in 2003. Until then, fruit was grown, apricots, cherries and peaches, in addition to wine grapes. The fruit orchards have now been sold and only vines are grown on the 17 hectares. Franck breaks with the practice of selling grapes and wine to the Cave Cooperative and starts to bottle his, now organic, beautiful wines.
The vineyards are located on different plots in Northern Rhône. Of which 14 hectares in Crozes-Hermitage red and 1 hectare in white, 1.5 hectares in Saint-Joseph and 0.5 hectares in Saint-Péray.
In order to process the fruit perfectly, the domain currently has 22 smaller stainless steel tanks in the modern barrel room. For the final maturation in oak, there are classic barriques of 225 liters, barrels of 400 liters and demi muids of 600 liters. Only a small part of the barrels are completely new. In terms of style, all wines are point-pure and characteristic of, especially the Syrah, from this part of France. Since 2017, all wines of the domain are certified organic.
