Son of Michel and Leslie Dupont-Fahn, Raymond Dupont-Fahn is a fifth-generation winemaker and has worked closely with his father and grandfather from an early age. He started to manage his own Domaine of five hectares at the age of 21. He has produced some stunningly great wines from humble appellations Auxey and Bourgogne. Raymond does not use pesticides in the vineyards, 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 ageing for the wines is 20% in new oak and all his barrels are under 3 years of age.
