Stéphanie and Arnaud Dezat

Stephanie and her brother Arnaud Dezat are Firmin Dezat’s cousins and have taken 50% of the vineyard holdings when the André Dezat domain was divided up.

They have built a modern winery on the edge of Verdigny and make the same style of wine as their father, Louis – quite chalky in character with a more expressive nose and lemon acidity. Their reds have a vibrant, textured side which is very attractive, clean but juicy. Although not organic, brother and sister are very much in tune with nature, and the chai demonstrates a beautiful ‘living wall’ in the reception area.
