Vernois
Lionel Vernois is in his mid
50s and comes from a long line of vignerons. His sister is Odile Nebout,
wife of Serge and their is talk of their son, Charles, taking over the
Vernois cellar in 2012. For the time being at least Lionel continues to
work the familys 12 hectares of vines; a small proportion of which are
planted to Aligoté. He makes a little white, red and rosé under the
appellation, as well as a little sparkling wine.
He, or rather his elderly mother, elected for him not to see me on my
research trip, as my attempt for an appointment was denied. So the wines
of Lionel Vernois remain untasted, but my understanding is that he is not
currently bottling his wines anyway, but selling everything off en-vrac
to private clients.
