Domaine les Chenêts, Crozes-Hermitage Blanc AC

Etienne Berthoin is the owner/winemaker of this family wine domaine in Rhône. For many years the family sold grapes to the local co-op and to top négocient like Guigal and Jaboulet, but in 1993 they decided to start vinifying their own grapes. They have now have some 12 hectares of vines which they are now converting to organic production. They have invested steadily in barrels for the ageing of the wines and now feel happy with the proportion of new oak.
