Three generations, three evolutions. And what changes! But we're not about to lose our soul. What we love above all and what drives us, like our fathers and grandfathers before us, is sharing wine. It's about serving you and pleasing you. It also means staying close to our team, our partners and

Tasting
This is a racy, seductive wine, “dressed” in a beautiful golden color tinged with green. It offers a nuanced bouquet of hazelnuts and ferns, a very dry taste with mineral notes and excellent length. The terroir often imparts spicy flavors. Age makes it a little more golden and spicy. On the palate, its aromas retain their freshness for a long time.
Food pairings
This wine goes perfectly with veal in sauce, scallops with butter and herbs, and most fish. Also good with hard mountain cheeses such as Comté and Beaufort.
