The estate has been in the family of Philippe Benezet for over 100 years. They have only been making wine since 1990.
The vines average around 40 years-old and are grown on 10ha of calcareous clay soils. Hand-harvested in late August with manual sorting. The grapes then spend a maximum of 4 hours on skins before spontaneous fermentation takes over between 1 week and one month. Aged in tank for 5-12 months with light filtration.
Certified Organic and Biodynamic.
