Our philosophy is to grow our vineyards with maximum respect for the environment!

For that reason, the work in the vineyards have since 2005 followed the codes of “Agriculture Raisonnée”. In 2016 we made the first wine organic: The old wines of Montagny 1. Cru “Les Chaniots”, – and in 2019 we decided to roll out the organic work in all our vineyards.

All our grapes are hand harvested and sorting of grapes takes place both when picking and when emptying the buckets at the end of the row. A final sorting takes place when the grapes arrive at the winery.

We also buy grapes on long term relation from local producers in Mercurey and Rully, who share our quality view on the vineyard work. These grapes are in most cases harvested by our own harvest team – and all the grapes are vinified at the estate – exactly in the same spirit as the grapes from our own vineyards.

Our philosophy when it comes to vinification is to express the terroir with respect of the vintage.

It’s quite modern these days to say: “we intervene to the minimum and let the grapes speak”. This is not our style. We wish to intervene when we believe that we can support the wine. We wish to express the human part of the quartet: Terroir – Grape – Climate – Human.

We love fruits, elegance, minerality and soft tannins!

We use both stainless steel, barrels and foudre for fermentation depending on the style of the individual wine, and maturation takes place in barrels for most of our wines. Size of barrels, age, cooper, toasting level etc are just some of the parameters we play with to compose the best wine. We have a relatively long ageing of our wines before bottling, of course without filtration.
