"Our family’s move to Burgundy began to take shape in 2009, when we had the opportunity to acquire some plots of vines in Auxey-Duresses, including Les Riames.

The magic of this “climate” enveloped us. Its aspect, the softness of the landscape, the steepness of the slopes, the fine nature of the soil opened up an immense range of possibilities.

Before we had them replanted in 2010, the vineyards at Les Riames had been abandoned since the 1930s due to phylloxera; they thus represent a jewel whose soil has not been polluted by chemicals or compacted by machinery.

This explains the close attention that we pay to the land, which is worked with horses, to the natural cycles that shape our interventions and to the use of sulphur and copper, which we keep to a minimum.

This quest for a light-touch approach continues in the pressing, which is slow and gentle, and in the aging, which is long and with little oak, so that each vintage can express itself to the fullest."
