Farming: Organic but Jean Pierre keeps the right to do an treatment against rot at the end
History: The Castle and the vineyards were bought by his grandfather after the war. Jean-Pierre took over the domaine after his father - who already had the Domaine renowned between 1992 and 1993, after several harvest and vinifications.
The top value of the domaine: In general, old vines, a very good work in the vineyards and a worry for perfection in every step of the agriculture, the harvest and the vinification.
A few woods: Perfection on details, no compromising, and the full expression of Terroirs associated with the best elevage possible and the best association of oak barrels
