When Stephane took over the family winery things were much different to how they are today, not only has the Domaine's name changed but the way everything is thought about, farmed and produced. Stéphane's hard work has transformed not only the quality of the grapes but the quality of the Domaine as a whole, showing that his skill and attention to detail are of the highest calibre.

Working with the classic spread of Jurasic grapes and styles his entire goal was to use what can be found in his vineyards, so he started conversion to organic farming and only uses indigenous yeasts across his now entire 46 hectares and staggeringly 40 odd different cuvees. He and his wife are not only at the height of their powers but arguably the pinnacle of quality for the region.

Savagnin under flor for 33 months, rich, saline, nutty and textural. This is a stellar wine of weight and modest power and is an excellent introductory point to the oxidative styles of the region, displaying all the nuance and character of what is becoming increasingly harder to get year on year.
