Our Experiences
Meet the Winemaker
Thierry is a biodynamic evangelist and a role model for many winemakers. He pursued jazz and dance for years before returning to his roots in wine. He’s a devoted practitioner of yoga and meditation. His mission: express the spirit of the land in his wine.
In the Vineyard & Cellar
Set on a limestone plateau about 100 meters above sea level, the property is certified biodynamic. In addition to Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, Thierry experiments with new varieties in response to climate change. He also balances the vineyards with other plantings. Grapes are harvested by hand, and the entire winemaking process is achieved using gravity, indigenous yeast, cold fermentation in cement vats, and gentle extractions. Inspired by the Burgundian method, the Clos produces complex wines that can be enjoyed young but also have great aging potential.
