“My Domaine has been in the family for 7 generations. It was in 1914 that my great grandfather himself, a great grandson of winegrower moved to Irancy. My wines are the reflection of terroirs offering purity, finesse and minerality. I have some César grapes which are said to have been brought here by the Roman legions.
Out of respect for nature and the environment, I have been driving almost my entire vineyard according to the rules of organic farming and have been certified by Ecocert since 2010”.

Winemaker from father to son for 7 generations and with ancestor winemakers already in the 16th century in Irancy, the estate today consists mainly of vines of the family, the oldest of which were planted by my great-grandparents and on the other hand by rental vines belonging to old families from our village.
