JULIEN FAYARD
Originally from Provence, Julien Fayard is one of Napa Valley’s most respected consulting winemakers producing California varietals with French finesse. Formerly of Chateau Lafite Rothschild, he lends two decades of winemaking expertise to more than a dozen different brands, including the highly-rated Le Pich and Purlieu wines, as well as his own labels—Covert Estate, Julien Fayard Wines, JustPink and Les Vin Julien.
The art and business of winemaking wouldn’t be possible without Mother Nature. Fayard Winemaking is a proud member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of every dollar made back to the environment.
COMPREHENSIVE WINEMAKING
Julien Fayard believes that winemaking begins in the vineyard. His wines are terroir-driven, allowing each and every wine to taste unique and true to it’s place of origin. He knows Napa, Sonoma and the Sierra Foothills. There is no recipe for his winemaking. What makes Julien and his talented winemaking team different, is that they have the ability to make wine at their client’s estate or at the Fayard Winemaking Facility without compromising quality.
