HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Seven appellations throughout Beaujolais and all owned since 1926. There are the granite, stony and shallow soils of North Beaujolais, characterized by their ability to produce high quality wines. Each plot is taken care of, nothing is left to chance. The implementation of sustainable production clearly demonstrates the desire to respect the environment, natural regulation and observation. David, the winemaker ( recognized twice as winemaker of the year by the Rvf on 2 different estates ) practices clean viticulture, harvested entirely by hand, and lets the terroir of each vintage speak. The estate now has 20 ha in HVE3 , and in organic conversion for its whites. It also produces Beaujolais Nouveaux without added sulfur as well as a very good Crémant de Bourgogne.

FOOD AND WINE

It goes well with different dishes (cold meats, poultry or even fish). And simply as an aperitif.
