The story
Family-owned estate located in La Chapelle‑de‑Rousse. Vineyard production intensified in the second half of the 20th century; the recent push in quality came from Jean‑Marc Grussaute, who expanded the vineyard plantings and steered the estate towards bottling and low-intervention practices.
Production philosophy
The estate favors viticulture that respects the soil and local varieties, practicing organic farming with biodynamic methods, maintaining limited yields and winemaking that seeks to express the character of the Pyrenean Piedmont terroir.
