the English author George Farquhar wrote "Brut sparkles like the lively remarks of a man of wit"

this businessman has set himself the objective of making the estate one of the flagship wineries of the southern Rhône appellations

he had purchased his first two hectares of land in Cravant-les-Coteaux

and concentration of flavor characterize his winemaking style

Sandy soils of Guarene in Roero imbue the Nebbiolo with softness and approachability

2 hectares included not only the classic Llicorella soil for which Priorat is famousr

From there he went to Charles Sturt University in Australia to study viticulture

Racked into clay amphora (80%) and stainless steel (20%)

Each site is harvested by hand
