Your host for the evening - Jean-Noël Fourmeaux

VGS, Civilized but not completely domesticated!
 
Our vision at VGS Chateau Potelle is to produce wines of style and character that are representative of their birthplace. Like for each of us, our "roots" provide us with a unique culture, a set of mores and traditions...Our job as winemaker is to respect and enhance the unique qualities of our "roots"... to craft wines that have a sense of place and exhibit their distinctive style, character and personality. 
 
Jean-Noël Fourmeaux moved to Napa Valley in 1980 to accompany the starting culinary revolution: young Americans chefs creating a cuisine more refined and delicate where the ingredients were respected and celebrated. The marriage of simplicity and quality eliminated the need for heavy ‘gravy”. If nature has given our grapes unique personality, why should we attempt to alter their course with excessive manipulation, or the use of technical specifications -- jamming them into the mold of "standardized" wines? Jean-Noel’s unconventional but very serene and comfortable approach to life and wine is guided by his passion for making wines true to his standards and of his loyal customers.  “To make mainstream wines has never been my calling”.
​
Fourmeaux’s moto is “Perfection without pretention”. Over the last 40 years, Chateau Potelle has built a solid reputation for its commitment to quality. Selling exclusively and directly to consumers, we are privileged to the trust of an outstandingly loyal clientele.  VGS Chateau Potelle is the first and only winery whose wine, Fourmeaux Red, was sold at the highest price three years in a row at The Napa Valley Barrel Auction.
