“To make great wines, you first need to look for what is at the origin of the identity of the Place. This identity is difficult to define because it uses a complex combination of parameters that are commonly called the Terroir. It associates first and of course the soil and the climate, but also and above all Man! Vinification then ageing and finally blending then packaging is only intended to avoid deviations which are likely to be developed if the Man forgets his role of Author.”

For Pascal Chatonnet, the essential work therefore begins in the vineyard but continues then at all stages.
