The expression of Nature
It's with beautiful grapes that we make good wines... and it's with healthy, rich soils and environments that the vine finds its balance. Like our predecessors, we strive to work with our environment. Applying biodynamic methods means, for us, first observing and carefully adapting our practices to the rhythms of the soil and the plant.
We believe in the virtues of simplicity and humility. We love straightforward, sincere wines that are easy to understand.
Our plots are covered with natural grass cover. The soil is worked to eliminate weeds. Careful disbudding allows each plant to balance its growth and production. To avoid or limit pruning and topping, which tire the plant, we train the trees manually. The harvest is carried out manually.
Our climate allows us to achieve a natural and gentle vinification of very healthy grapes. If some of our wines are aged in barrels for 3 to 6 years, it is because they find a deeper expression of their aromas there (morello cherry, dark chocolate for some, violet, eucalyptus, blackberry for others). Perfect hygiene allows us to offer wines with a total sulfur level generally lower than 30 mg/L.
The transmission of knowledge and values
We dreamed of producing and sharing our wine. We embarked on this exciting adventure in 2024, with the ambition of humbly continuing the work of our predecessors, Isabelle and Etienne, with whom we share the same high standards, the desire to learn, and the desire to share.
A bioclimatic cellar
A wooden-framed cellar, insulated with straw bales and a coating of earth and lime, helps regulate humidity and temperature changes. The wine matures in the best conditions .
