The owner's pitch.
Feeling the earth, touching the vines, tasting the grapes… Being a winegrower is first and foremost a profession of sensations, emotions and passion. An agricultural profession dependent on the weather and where patience, humility, and strength of conviction become qualities essential to success.
“The earth does not belong to the man, it is the man who belongs to the earth.” : for 7 generations, we have endeavored to learn from this old saying to produce quality wines, while respecting the environment.
In addition to terroir, our work is driven by curiosity and adventure.
Each in their own way, Sophie, Charles-Henri, and Frédéric Gonet have known how to develop their taste, and feed their curiosity with many travels and experiences in other wine regions in France and abroad, always seeking the best.
Thus they consider their terroirs with open minds, seeing each of them as “ countries ”: first to be explored, then studied. They have adapted their practices in order to highlight the typicality of each terroirs.
A happy mix of know-how and adventure which enables us to find the best expressions of terroir in our wines…
