The steep hills in Seyssuel provide exceptional conditions that deserve our full gratitude. My grandparents had some well-exposed, uncultivated land, and they told me that they would help harvest the grapes there when they were young. It seemed natural for me to settle here and to replant vines on this land.
Then, I met Kevin and a shared love for wine and gastronomy brought us together. We planted our first vines in Seyssuel in 2015. We use organic methods in our work, everything is done by hand and we grow our vines using the same methods as 100 years ago.
