Behind our wines; men, women, a single passion : to bring you happiness.When I started in the sommellerie, a quote from Jean Orizet was posted on the cellar wall:
"To make great wine, you need a fool to cultivate the vine, a sage to regulate it, a lucid artist to make wine and a lover to drink it." I am content to be a lover and a passionate who likes to share and make discover the work of our wonderful winegrowers.

* Domain in natural wine:
The so-called natural winegrower is non-interventionist and lets Nature do its thing, but accompanying it as best as possible, with respectful and gentle methods.The vines are pruned short to deliberately moderate yields. He obviously favors quality over quantity.
For winemaking, manual harvests are preferred over mechanical ones. Only indigenous yeasts are authorized to start fermentation and the use of sulfur is minimal or even zero (the AVN charter proposes a maximum dosage according to the wine produced, much lower than the official quotas!). The handling is gentle and slow so as not to ""shock"" and ""disguise"" the soul of the wine (little or no racking, aging on lees, weak filtrations, integrated oak…). When we speak of naturalness, it is in opposition to industrial, technical, formatted.
Each winegrower works in his soul and conscience, following this philosophy of respect for his environment, to produce a wine which resembles him and which will be refined year after year.
The freedom that the natural winegrower allows himself may go against obtaining the AOC for which precise specifications exist (grape variety, geographical area, and above all approval for tasting, etc.).
This is why the so-called "natural" wine is found by its atypicity sometimes classified as Cialis Generic Vin de Pays or Vin de Table de France.
And many other references that I invite you to come and discover while strolling in the cellar (the sales prices are as far as possible those of the particular price from the winemaker) or by consulting our wine list quietly installed in the restaurant.
Basically yours.
