Jean Charles Fagot is an extraordinary character with wide interests and talents. He is a gifted musician and plays the drums in a rock band made up of vignerons and restauranteurs. He is also the proprietor of the delightful ‘Auberge du Vieux Vigneron’ brasserie in Corpeau where he can be found entertaining his customers most evenings, and a broad range of his wines are also available there to explore and enjoy. His vineyard holdings of three hectares are mainly based around Corpeau and two particular highlights are his Bourgogne Blanc Cote d’Or ‘Les Champs Huillier’ and his energetic Bourgogne Aligoté. He also makes tiny quantities of well made Puligny ‘village’ and 1er Cru ‘Hameau de Blagny’. He augments his production with some neighbours’ grapes that he buys and vinifies with the same attention to detail.
On his estate vineyards, Jean-Charles employs lutte raisonée, a method of growing in which chemical intervention is employed only when necessary. The wines are vinified traditionally and naturally, utilizing oak foudres and 12-14 month long aging periods in the Fagot cellars.
