Anecdotes about the domain
To be a winegrower is rather to be a winegrower....To be a winegrower is first of all to be a peasant...look for the mistake! I don't know why, but the word "peasant" seems more noble to me than "peasant woman"... not everything can be explained....As a child, I used to follow my grandfather on his rounds as a wine broker and watch him, attentively, measure the "weight" of the wine with his ebulliometer in the family kitchen: a mystery to me. In front of my bottles, the finished results of my work, I often think of him.
The domain's short story
After studying oenology, I worked as a consultant in an oenological laboratory where I followed and helped winemakers to make their own wines. It was an exciting job but I missed something: the complete work from the vine to the bottle. In 2000, with my companion, the opportunity arose: I fell in love with a place, lost in the garrigue: an ideal domain, small enough to be able to acquire it, qualitative enough to decide, beautiful enough to fall in love with it. In 2009, I found myself alone at the head of these 10 hectares: a new beginning. I have the choice between having fun and having fun! After a few hesitations and missteps, I go for the second solution! My training as an oenologist and my passion allow me today to live this life of a winemaker. It is not a job, it is a way of life. On this estate, I feel like a woman doing everything and I love it!
The winemaker's pride
This domain was born in 2000 from the will of two people, my partner and myself, to make wine ourselves. No family in the land, in the vineyard, I have been a winemaker for zero generations. This induces a great freedom, the freedom to make mistakes, trials, fundamental choices. The choice of organic farming does not arise for a single second. I can only consider becoming a farmer by completely respecting the earth, the flora and the fauna. I can only make wine by giving myself pleasure to transmit this to the bottle Sixteen years after the beginning of this adventure, I learn every day, I doubt sometimes, I undo, I redo, I try, I make mistakes, I succeed ......
