Régis Poissinet run this family estate that started in 1947 : the 35 years-old vineyard of 7 hectares is split into 35 plots and is certified organic and biodynamic. It expands on 5 villages, on the different clay-chalk and silt-chalk terroirs. It is mainly planted with Pinot Meunier, following by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. With the arrival of Régis, the way of working the vines has changed: rigorous respect of the environment, abandon of herbicides, use of the horse to work the soil.
