Notes from Becky Wasserman Wines:

"A native Burgundian though not from a winemaking family, Aurélien Revillot caught the wine bug at an early age. He earned his enological diploma in 2008 in Dijon. He held a number of positions at wineries around Burgundy, Alsace and Aurélien held a position at Domaine Drouhin in Oregon, where he co-managed vinification of the whites. Soon the Loire beckoned and he was at Domaine de la Chevalerie in Bourgueil. And at 32 years old, when the chance to take on a few hectares of vines in the same appellation presented itself, Aurélien just couldn’t refuse. The Revillot wines are complex in aroma, silky and sultry in texture, and completely transparent in terroir expression. These are bright and crystalline examples of an appellation that can sometimes display more massive, sturdy and structured wines. Aurélien’s reputation is already well-established in France and this is definitely a domaine to watch."
