About the estate:
A perfectionist, Stéphane Donze has worked hard to achieve a level of production that is well above the usual standard for winegrowing in the region. After purchasing the estate, he and his wife Lucie spent fifteen years studying and observing the layout of their plots in detail. This groundwork enabled them to achieve, while always staying within the limits of risk, perfect maturity and great precision in their wines.
