each task is carefully thought.
Nothing is systematic"

THE CELLAR

OUR VISION

A CERTAIN MINIMALISM

We advocate minimalist oenology, limiting the use of inputs, and more generally, the impact of man on wine. This vision of winemaking does not mean “laisser-faire”; on the contrary. It requires great rigor, sound analysis and deep knowledge of nature. Thus, we drive our wine towards the most sincere expression of the terroir combined with each vintage

PRESERVE THE ESSENTIAL

THE TERROIR
EXPRESSION

In the cellar, interventions are decided according to each tasting, keeping in mind the objective of preserving what the terroir delivered a few weeks, a few months earlier. Wine creation focuses on extracting aromas and structure from the berries while preserving them as much as possible from oxygen.

“ In our view, creating great wine does not only mean seeking perfect organoleptic balance. A great wine is above all a wine with a strong identity, transmitting specificity of its terroir and commitment of its creators ”

THE CELLAR TEAM

WINE, EXCHANGE, 
AND SHARING

Exchange and sharing are rooted at the heart of our project. This philosophy and values lead us daily in the vat house and the cellar. During frequent tasting sessions, cellar team, energetically led by Christophe, shares with Amélie, looking for the most successful interpretation of the vintage.
