ABOUT THE PRODUCER
With 22 hectares of prime sites in the Northern Rhone, this family owned domaine is highly regarded.
Since Guy’s son Thomas has taken over the winemaking, the wines have even gone up a notch. Wine making is hands off and respectful of the fruit: whole bunch ferments, native yeasts, low extraction and are aging mostly in old barrels. These are wines worth seeking out.
