Winery Description

The estate was born in 2013 with the purchase of the vines operated by the Alexandre's family for several generations. It currently 12 hectares wild on granite soil of Lantignié and vines are around 40 years old to more than a hundred years old on some plots...

Alexandre's work is carried out with respect for the terroirs and traditions of his ancestors. The 100% traditional (semi-carbonic) vinification of his wines ensures impeccable quality and typicity, as well as respect for the vintage.

Excellent, full-bodied gamay
By Michael Rollins on 03 December 2021

I love this wine. Powerful cherry and black currant, not at all what you expect from Gamay unless you regularly enjoy Moulin-a-Vent. This is a real gem, a bottle you are guaranteed to not stop enjoying halfway and stopper for a later visit, but finish instead same day, perhaps guiltily, depending on where it falls in the lineup and at what hour the cork is released... Very nice.
