It was in the early 1960s that Lucien Dauny, following health problems, took care of himself using natural methods and discovered herbal medicine, homeopathy and a few other alternative medicines, which we started to talk about shyly. Today the vineyard has 17 hectares and it is a family business made up of 4 partners (Parents – Children), as since 13 generations.
