Marcelle Dubois, along with his daughter and son-in-law, Emile Chevalier, inherited the estate just after WWI.  Conscientious and meticulous, Emile Chevalier spent years of hard work perfecting the quality of the vines after the difficult years of the phylloxera crisis.  His son, Georges, took over management after Emile and began to enlarge the estate and increase the prestige of Domaine Chevalier, beginning with the planting of 3 hectares of vines in Gamay.

Today, the estate is run by Claude Chevalier’s three daughters who represent the 5th generation of wine-growers in the Chevalier family:  Chloé has been managing winegrowing and winemaking since 2008 after obtaining her Viticulture-Oenology BTS in Beaune; Julie, who has a diploma from the l’école de Commerce de Reims, directs sales and administration; and Anaïs, who joined her sisters in the business in 2012, handles accounting and welcoming customers to the winery.
