Meet the Winemaker
Philippe has made wine for more than 20 years. Before returning to the family business, he was a playwright. Now he runs the estate making high-quality, handcrafted wines with a focus on environmental sustainability. To hear Philippe speak about his vineyard and wines is like poetry.
In the Vineyard & Cellar
Philippe puts all his efforts into the vineyard in order to reveal the full potential of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in the local terroir. Aging in large-format oak gives the wine time to rest, as well as a deeper complexity, structure and potential for aging. He’s a disciple of biodynamics and plays music in the cellar, his way of giving the wine “good vibrations."
