Graeme, a New Zealander and Julie, a native of the area. We met on a wine estate in Côte-Rôtie, through our shared passion for wine, and, starting from scratch, we set out to build our own estate in 2015, by clearing our first plot in Condrieu to plant vines. Then, we quickly embarked on the adventure in Seyssuel by participating in replanting the vineyard.
Since the beginning, we have been fascinated by the appellations and wines of the Northern Rhône Valley because the notion of terroir there is extremely rich and complex. That's how we naturally settled on the original Viognier and Syrah land to plant our own vines.
