Raymont Dupont-Fahn is 5th generation. Raymond does not use pesticides in the vines, he does not chaptalize his wines, he usually chooses to harvest on the early side in order to achieve wines with greater acidity and less alcohol. Most élévage for the wines is 20% in new oak and all his barrels are under 3 years of age.

This wine is one of Burgundy's best kept secrets. Chaumes des Perrières” has an interesting history, as up until the late-1970s, this lieu à dit above the premier cru of Perrières in Meursault was entitled to Meursault villages status. Raymond Dupont-Fahn’s grandfather, Michel, had bought a parcel here in 1975 and petitioned the INAO to add twenty centimeters of top soil to his unplanted parcel, as the topsoil was so thin that he feared new plantings here would wither and die. The INAO agreed, but the other growers in Meursault were upset and petitioned to have the parcel declassified to Bourgogne from Meursault AC, which they were also successful in doing. So these vines, which sit fifty meters above the Perrières vines of Domaine Coche-Dury are only ranked as Bourgogne!
