The 12 hectare winery is at the forefront of modernity. Harvest and vinification methods preserve the uniqueness of terroirs and Sauvignon Blanc. The different types of terroirs; Terres Blanches, clay and limestone are typical from the appellation Pouilly Fumé, revealing the lively character of the Sauvignon Blanc, with notes of white flowers, citrus, yellow fruits, and flint. Vieilles Vignes is the historical cuvée of the domaine, a blend of the grapes from our different oldest plots (on average 30 years old), and from terres blanches and caillottes terroirs. The vine with its deep roots, has been blossoming for many years on its favourite terroirs, feeding on the minerality of the soil, to offer us a wine with great intensity back into wine.
