Description
We are two young winemakers who operate from an old refurbished wine-cellar in the village of Aubais, in southern France. Our vines are located in Aubais, Aujargues and Saint-Mamert-du-Gard. All our land is certified by Ecocert and Demeter. As well as working our vineyards, we also travel around France to source different grapes. Throughout the year we are in partnership with our viticulteurs, so we can ensure that we get the best quality grapes that are representative of their region. It allows us to vinify grapes from the Beaujolais, the Côtes-du-Rhône, the Languedoc and the Roussillon. All our vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, in order to get the finest expression of the terroir and to favor natural biodiversity. All grapes are hand-picked, and we ferment all our wines with indigenous yeast and no added Sulphur. Our winemaking is minimalist but precise to produce pure and high-quality wines.
