Melanie and Thomas welcome you at this 19th century property which they took over in 2015 and completely restructured since then. The vineyard is conducted in certified organic farming and the winemaking is made using biodynamic principles: manual harvest, vat filling using natural gravity, natural yeasts, fermentation without added sulfur, winemaking and ageing in terracotta jars...
Charmed by this ancient historical wine region, with its high quality soils and renowned wines, the winegrowers have progressively restructured the 5 hectares of vineyards.It took many renovations on the winery and restructurations of the vineyard surrounding the building to restore the original beauty of this gem of the Fronsadais region, and to produce quality wines.
