A historic landmark in the Roine Sud region, it has taken on a new dimension today with the generational change of Benjamin Gras. After his time at Domaine de la Romané Conti (Burgundy) and Vega Sicilia (Ridbera del Duer), he returned to the family winery to revolutionize the house's style and elevate the wines to a higher level.
Wines evolving toward a finer, more delicate side, with more nuances and complexity.
