Maison Fayard is a wine house and négociant led by winemaker Julien Fayard, who balances French tradition with the expression of California terroir. From its beginnings to today, Maison Fayard has remained committed to producing precise, elegant wines marked by minerality and finesse — cuvées crafted with patience and intention.
Collections and Wines
The Maison Fayard portfolio spans multiple labels and terroirs, including the signature Julien Fayard wines, as well as collaborative projects such as Purlieu Wines, Les Vins Julien, Covert Estate, and a selection of partner estates.
Among the standout wines are:
Julien Fayard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon – a blend sourced from hillside vineyards across Napa Valley, combining depth of flavor (plum, blackberry, spice) with refined tannins.
Les Vins Julien Lodi Viognier – an expressive white wine with floral and fruity notes, showcasing Maison Fayard’s versatility across diverse terroirs.
In addition, the Maison Fayard boutique offers an extensive range of wines from other producers — over 100 selections, from reds, whites, and rosés to sparkling and fortified wines.
Experience, Winemaking, and Hospitality
Maison Fayard emphasizes a hands-on, artisanal approach: Julien Fayard personally oversees winemaking, blending, vineyard sourcing, and grower relationships.
Visitors can also enjoy tastings and tours at the Coombsville winery, as well as at the Maison Fayard boutique in downtown Napa, where guests are invited to explore the wines and connect directly with the team.
Values & Vision
At its core, Maison Fayard is dedicated to the pursuit of revealing terroir: every wine must carry a unique signature, reflect its origin, and stand the test of time. The spirit of the project is rooted in the duality of France and California — shaped by Julien Fayard’s heritage and training — and guided by a constant commitment to quality and authenticity.
Whether you are a collector, a curious enthusiast, or a wine professional, Maison Fayard invites you to discover and share in their passion through each bottle.
