This is a family-run estate with roots dating back to 1920, historically linked to the Juby family. Patrick Baudouin revived the business from the late 20th century, raising the estate's profile and initiating the transition to organic farming in the early 2000s. Over the years the estate has become known for its Chenin wines and for viticultural practices that respect the soil and terroir.
