History

Saint-Bris le Vineux is a village with a thousand inhabitants, 10 miles southwest of Chablis. When Hervé Félix decided to quit working for the French state in 1991 and return to the family domaine it was the start of many changes. Not only did the domaine quickly grow from eleven to 31 hectares. His return also meant bottling at the domaine and a new philosophy regarding the use of chemicals. At the turn of the millennium sustainable practicing made its debut at Domaine Félix. The use of
chemicals in the vineyards was brought down to a minimum; it is now only used when absolutely needed. And the change has had the desired effect.
