Winery history
The project is led by Gilles Bonnefoy, who began by assembling and leasing plots in the Champdieu area in the late 1990s. Management moved to organic farming in 2001 and to a biodynamic approach with Demeter certification in the early 2000s; the estate gradually expanded its plots around the hill known as "la Madone."
Production philosophy
Parcel-by-parcel work, hand harvesting and separate vinifications to highlight the characteristics of the different soils. Priority is given to natural vineyard management and to certified biodynamic practices.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in Champdieu in the Loire department, a high‑altitude area of the Loire Valley. The soils are highly varied: volcanic basalts and several types of granite, which give rise to different aromatic expressions and structural profiles in the wines.
Awards and recognitions
