PHILOSOPHY

The pure and perfect translation of Burgundy Terroirs
The constant search of quality and the respect for the Terroirs lead Frédéric Magnien to organic viticulture. We are invested in this direction to sublimate the exceptional purity from the soil to the wines. Since 1996, each step in the wine-making process has followed the rhythms of the moon cycles.

Some of our products have been certified AB (Organic Agriculture) since 2008 and many of the others will soon be, by following the organic schedule of conditions of culture and vinification controlled by Ecocert. Quite naturally, Frédéric found a logical follow-up to this philosophy in his vinification method. Hand turned terracotta jars were selected for partial wine ageing, since the exceptional 2015 vintage.

The use of jars allows Frédéric to age a more digest biological wine which respects the purity of the fruit and the authenticity of his soil. By revealing crystalline and original wines, this jars wine ageing is complementary to the traditional wine ageing with old casks. From now on, the wine ageing between wood and terracotta allows to refine the identity of his precious vintages.
