Early life
Born in 1960, Chappaz initially considered a career as a midwife. In 1977, however, she received a vineyard parcel from her father. This led her to study winemaking at the École d'ingénieurs de Changins (Engineering School of Changins) and work as an apprentice. In 1987, she took over her father's vineyards and produced her first millésime in 1988.
