Carpe Diem, the famous Latin phrase, means "Seize the day without worrying about tomorrow." This motto is taken to heart by Albéric Philippon, who took over the estate in 2013. Located on the clay-limestone terroirs of Cotignac, the estate now covers 30 hectares. Visitors to the region can find the winemaker and his wines every Tuesday at the Cotignac market.
