The estate seeks a faithful expression of its unique terroirs, blending traditional methods with Benjamin Guilbert’s broad experience. Farming is sustainability- and organics-oriented, with meticulous handwork and horse-drawn plowing that respects the land. Each parcel is treated as singular: across 12 plots, practices are tailored to vine growth and site conditions. Rigorous picking is followed by triple sorting (once in the vineyard, twice on sorting tables). Reds are 100% destemmed, macerated for an extended period and traditionally pressed; wines age ~18 months in barrel without racking, then are gravity-bottled under favorable lunar phases. Guilbert’s time with Domaine Gonon and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair informs a distinctive, original style.
Every winery carries its own philosophy—shaped by terroir, tradition, and the winemaker’s vision. These values influence every step, from vineyard practices to cellar decisions, ultimately crafting wines that express both place and purpose. Below is an overview of this estate’s guiding principles and stylistic identity.
The estate is committed to sustainable and organic-inspired practices. Though not formally certified, no chemicals are used. Instead, horse-drawn plowing and manual labor reflect deep respect for the land. Each of the 12 vineyard plots is treated individually, with micro-parcel management tailored to soil and vine conditions, resulting in wines of unique character and precision.
After harvest, grapes undergo triple sorting—once in the vineyard and twice on sorting tables at the winery—to ensure optimal fruit quality.
– Red wines are made from 100% destemmed grapes, with extended maceration and traditional pressing to extract depth and complexity.
– The wine is aged in oak barrels for 18 months, with no racking, preserving natural development.
– Bottling is done by gravity under favorable lunar phases, ensuring purity and balance are maintained.
