Fun Facts:  Originally from France, winemaker Julien Fayard began his career producing quality rosé at his family’s winery in Provence.  After relocating to Napa Valley,   he was Philippe Melka’s director of winemaking for a few years before launching his own projects.  With more than two decades of winemaking expertise, Julien is one of Napa Valley’s most respected winemakers producing California varietals with French finesse.  In the consulting business he’s known as the “terroir whisperer.”  Voted winemaker of the year and a 100 pt score winemaker, Julien has a philosophy of “grape to bottle.”  This means no additives in the production of the wine. Straight from the vineyard to the bottle.
