Summary
The old Chateau of Pierre Filant is a family estate that was purchased by the Fellot family back in the year 1829. Since then the Fellot family has transformed the old estate into a thriving family heritage of farming and making wine.
In 1991, Emmanuel took over the estate after his father and started making his own wine. His vines were planted between 1927 and 1948 by his grandfather and father, which include both rootstocks of Gamay Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyards are located between the hills of Brouilly and the Nizerand valley, and the modest cellar is composed of old stones. The Beaujolais Blanc is rare, composing only 5% of the appellation’s total production.
