The story
Born in Bordeaux and raised in the sweet appellation of Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Samuel Tinon studied viticulture and oenology and worked as a "flying winemaker" in several countries before settling in Tokaj in the early 1990s. He began his own local production in the early 2000s and has since explored both wines without botrytis and the traditional botrytized styles typical of the region.
Production philosophy
They practice attentive, low-impact viticulture, leaving the choice of wine styles to harvest conditions and to nature; in the cellar they favor measured interventions, traditional Tokaj techniques, and an approach that emphasizes controlled oxidation and the terroir’s character.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery operates in the Tokaj region, with vineyards in the Olaszliszka area and on the slopes of Mount Tokaj; soils include volcanic substrates, clay and loess, and the landscape is shaped by the Bodrog and Tisza rivers, which favor conditions for botrytis.
