Anecdotes about the domain
Because we love family stories that never end! 3 years ago, our uncle had the plan to sell the business since there was no successor.

Today we are proud and happy to welcome curious, epicureans and professionals to the domain. Choose a job you love and you will not have to work a single day in your life. Confucius.
The domain's short story
What characterizes us? The wine cellar and our terroir. The cellar is located in an old magnaneraie. The cellar is located in an old magnaneraie, a huge stone building that was used in the 18th century to raise silkworms. All year long our wines are worked and preserved in an ideal temperature! As in these cocoons from which the butterflies emerge, our wines are transformed in their tanks to come out metamorphosed.Our specificity is translated by rigorous choices, from the planting of the vine to the bottling.The terroir that gives our wines an extraordinary aromatic richness, combining both character and finesse.Convinced that the vine needs freedom to assert itself once in the bottle, we want to let it express itself to the maximum. A living terroir, full of vigor and concerned about the environment, it is our role to make it live.
