Wine rating (2026 guide) 90/100 (2023 vintage)
Rated estate (2025 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
This new venture is run by two agricultural engineers, including a former director of a Fitou winery who took over the family vineyards after they left the cooperative. After a generous 2016 and a highly successful 2017, we noticed the high quality of the 2018 vintage, a benchmark wine for schist terroirs. With the 2019 vintage continuing this impressive momentum, we are happy to award them a third star.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)
About the estate:
Vivien Roussignol and Marie Toussaint settled here in 2011 with just one hectare of goblet-pruned vines grown on schist slopes. They gradually expanded the vineyard, favoring old vines and preserving a rich heritage of grape varieties (around twenty today). The 12 hectares have been in conversion to organic farming since 2019.
