The vineyard

 The domaine was created in 1984 by Didier Montchovet with 0,5ha of vines.

The principles of bio-dynamics were applied from the outset.

        1989: another 2,5ha of vines taken under lease, permitting the real launch of the estate's activities:
Leasing of two cellars and a vat room.
        The 1989 vintage was the first to be bottled, with sales beginning in the summer of 1990.
        I all but abandoned my previous occupations of consulting oenologist, responsible for courses of wine studies and tasting.

Since 1990: We have added to the Domaine two more large plots of land: 4ha in “CRAS” and 5ha in “BIGNON”.

These two plots will progressively be planted with vines. Leaving 3ha aside, these two plots have not nurtured vines since phylloxera.

1993: Construction of a complex of buildings with a cellar, vat room, house and accommodation for grape-pickers. The cellars have been conceived to make the maximum use of gravity, so as to avoid having to use pumps for moving the wines.
