Roy Estate

Philippe Melka began working at Roy Estate in April 2005. He is one of the world’s most respected winemakers, who is best known for “finding the voice of the vineyard through its terroir,” as Philippe puts it. He began his career working at wineries in France (Château Haut-Brion and Château Petrus), Italy (Badia a Coltibuono), Australia (Chittering Estate) and California (Dominus and Ridge) before settling in the Napa Valley in the ’90s.
