Jean-Marc’s priority is the work in his vineyards, Organic fertilisers are adapted to the needs of each vineyard and the specific nature of each plot. Sustainable methods are used to fight against fungal diseases with maximum respect for the vines and their environment. The wines are fermented and aged in oak casks 30% of which are new and aged for 12 months with a further 6 in tank before release.
