Winery history

Family-owned estate located in Maumusson‑Laguian. Christine Dupuy took over the estate in the early 1990s and developed it from the few hectares she inherited; over the years she has focused on quality, enhancing parcels of old vines and gradually converting the estate to organic viticulture.

Production philosophy

Organic viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking: parcel-by-parcel work, hand harvesting, frequent use of indigenous yeasts, gentle pressing and practices aimed at preserving the fullest expression of the terroir with as few interventions as possible.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the Maumusson area, at the foot of the Pyrenees. Clay and pebble/gravel soils. The area is characterized by well-exposed plots that provide structure and ripening potential, with some very old vines that contribute to the wines' depth.
