Testimonial:
“We decided to become actively involved and live out our passion for wine. We are fortunate to have a prime site for growing vines and our priority is to respect it and further raise its profile by producing an authentic wine – not a fashionable wine but one that quite simply reflects who we are. We love the land and pay the utmost care and attention to our vines. We love all the good things in life and therefore felt compelled to make a superlative wine. Our number one objective is to make wines in good taste, both literally and figuratively.”

2012 produced the property’s first organic vintage.
Caroline and Laurent Clauzel belong to the Independent Winery association.
