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.

Tasting
Hints of citrus zest, white peach and nectarine delight the nose. On the palate there is a vibrant structure, righteous with a smooth texture, slightly saline. The length in the mouth is remarkable-reminding one of the juicy bitterness of passion fruit.
