Nicolas Faure Pernand-Vergelesses Blanc Les Vignes Blanches 2024 CRUSEBUB a single plot in PenedèsNicolas Faure trained at Domaine de la Romanee Conti and Prieure Roch before starting his own micro domaine, which took shape around 2014. Based in Meuilley in the Hautes Cotes, he farms a tiny vineyard across prestigious appellations with rare exacting standards.
