In the vineyard in 2018
* Autumn and winter were mild and exceptionally wet. The cold weather arrived only in February, accompanied by some sunshine. Early spring was damp and generally cold, followed by very sunny weather. The vines developed very rapidly during this period. In July and August, the summer conditions continued, and the vines were in perfect health. The grape bunches were plentiful and above average in ripeness.
* Harvesting took place in summery weather, starting on August 25th at the estate.
* Freshness, fruitiness, elegance, and delicacy characterize the 2018 wines.

Our Domain :
Respect for our vines is a daily preoccupation and we look to explore all techniques and routes which allow for a greater respect for our vineyards and favour a natural balance.
There is no point in doping our vines, it is useless to try and replace Mother Nature; often it is enough to simply use common sense.
We work every day to abandon certain practices, certain reflections of a sometimes mindless viticulture. The respect of soils translates in a desire to favour the life which reigns here by banning all root herbicides, by prohibiting all fertilizers which could distort the natural minerality… and thus the expression of the terroir.
Nine generations come and go and mingle to allow the transition of family history. Come and visit us.
We will tell you about the discovery of our exploitation, our vineyards located on the hills of Ambonnay-Bouzy, our presses, the winery and cellar located in our old village through three production sites.
Then we finish with the flute of friendship. An appointment is preferred, you can contact us by phone or email.
