Our wines

Blessed with a strong identity, each of the wines are created from the same passion and attention to detail. At each step, tasting is the main guide for the choice of a precise harvest date, respect for the right level of extraction during fermentation and the judicious use in the ageing process (stainless steel or oak). This is done to produce “ authentic wines ”, tasting of their origin, and made without recipes, ensuring we create pleasurable balanced wines.

Les Parcellaires

The choice of their place of planting was thought out for a long time: a very qualitative terroir allowing a typical and balanced expression.

For the sake of the best possible match between soil and grape variety, extensive soil studies have always determined the grape varieties of each plot. Water richness, apparent vigor of the soil, texture or naturally present plants are all indicators.
