Nestled on the banks of the Vienne River facing Seyssuel, Château Le Devay is a rising star, cherished by Michelin-starred restaurants like Le Bristol, Le Cheval-Blanc Paris and Saint-Tropez, Le Clos des Sens, La Bouitte, and Le Flocon de Sel. Just a few kilometers from the last parcels of Côte-Rôtie, this estate, established in 2015, maintains exceptionally high-quality standards.

Under the stewardship of Jean-Charles Fournet, an inspired and tenacious newcomer to winemaking, the estate practices biodynamics, permaculture, and agroforestry across its 5 hectares of vines. With guidance from friend and advisor Pierre-Jean Villa, the wines, always fresher and more vibrant than elsewhere, captivate both enthusiasts and star winemakers alike. Jean-Michel Gerin, Christine Vernay, Yves Gangloff, and Thierry Germain are among the estate's earliest supporters, fans from the very beginning!
