Franck Faugier is the 5th generation and took over the estate in 1998. He left the cooperative cellar and created the estate « Domaine des Hauts Chassis » in 2003.
Today the estate covers 18 hectares in total. Mainly in the South of Crozes-Hermitage, but also in Saint-Joseph and Saint-Péray appellations. he has also teamed up with another winemaker to produce Condrieu, Hermitage White and Hermitage Red.
The estate has been certified organic since 2017. The terroir is of the Alpine diluvium (fluvio-glacial alluvium), it is made up of large pebbles which accumulate heat throughout the day to release it during the night.
