Since 2010, Chanterêves has been the home of two talents, Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott. Tomoko honed her skills in Germany's Rheingau region with renowned winemakers like Peter Jakob Kühn and Georg Breuer. Guillaume gained experience at Domaine Simon Bize in Savigny-Les-Beaune and then at Etienne Sauzet in Puligny-Montrachet.

After these valuable experiences, the couple combined their strengths and sensibilities to create their own wines, producing cuvées that are precise, delicate, and moving.

Practicing organic farming, whole-cluster fermentation for reds, no filtration, gentle vinification, indigenous yeasts, minimal sulfur, and aging without new oak... all the hallmarks of excellence are in place. Their micro-production quickly found a dedicated following.
