CHANTERÊVES; GERMAN PRECISION MEETS JAPANESE ATTENTION.

In the suburbs of Savigny-les-Beaune, under a modern house , are the fairly new and spacious cellars of Chanterêves. The small estate was founded and owned by the Japanese Tomoko Kuriyama ; she received her education at the famous wine university in Geisenheim, Germany. The Japanese by birth spread her wings after graduating and became 'estate manager' at the well-known Rheingau Estate, Friedrich Altenkirch. She met her French husband Guillaume Bott in Germany. He was then working at Etienne Sauzet, but later left for the wine estate of Simon Bize, also located in Savigny-Les-Beaune. Together they have a wealth of experience , they complement each other's competences, share each other's knowledge and bring out the best in the Chanterêves wine estate. A combination of German precision , Japanese attention and French knowledge of the region, the tradition and the wines of the region. The original name of the wine estate was 'Chanterives', but this name conflicted in some respects with the name of another wine producer in the region; this is why the name was changed to Chanterêves; a reference to the dream that came true for them together.
