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.

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.

Trousseau with some whole bunch that has had 4-5 weeks maceration before being pressed to 600 litre barrels. Vine age is up to 80 years for some of it, displaying some excellent structure for a light wine that enjoys being cool/cellar temperature. Red cherries a touch of smoke and a light spice that make this very easy to drink without skimping on any of the cerebral side of wine. Poised and fresh with crunchy acid and fine grain tannin.
