We are two brothers who spent our entire childhood in the village of Irancy.
Surrounded by parents and grandparents who were winegrowers, that's how we inherited this fascinating profession.
Our estate is located in Irancy in the north of Burgundy, in the department of Yonne.
We farm 18 hectares of vines in the Irancy appellation, certified organic since 2013.
We are deeply attached to the Pinot Noir grape, and are keen to respect both the unique character of Irancy and the spirit of each vintage, which must be conveyed as faithfully as possible right through to the bottle.
Being a winegrower in Irancy is a unique situation that must be cherished, defended and appreciated.
To achieve this, here are a few key principles that cannot be ignored in the vineyard or the cellar:
Our grapes are vinified, matured and bottled on the estate.
- Hand-picked, harvested in 40kg crates
- 100% destemmed and sorted grapes
- Vinification using indigenous yeasts
- Vatting between 15 and 18 days
- Aged between 24 and 36 months before bottling
- Extremely rigorous care in the vineyard: poulsard pruning, disbudding, several passages of lifting.
2010: start of organic certification by ECOCERT, with the start of biodynamic preparations in 2011.
Tasting and sales at the winery, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 5.30pm.
For groups of more than 6 people, please make an appointment.
ぶどう畑の所有主や借地人は、年間をとおして仕事に取り組み、テロワール/terroirの表現を守り続けています。ぶどうを育て、ワインの醸造を手がけるほか、自ら販売まで携わっている例もあります。ブルゴーニュ/Bourgogneには3,800のドメーヌがあり、うち1,300のドメーヌがワインを自ら販売しています。平均栽培面積は8haです。
ブルゴーニュ/Bourgogneにおけるネゴシアンの役割は時代とともに複雑化しています。もともとは熟成途上のワインを買い取り、熟成と販売を担っていましたが、近年はぶどうを直接買付け、醸造そのものを手がける例もみられます。これは、自ら醸造するワインの品質を完全にコントロールするためです。
ぶどう栽培家を組合員とし、協働で醸造と販売の発展に取り組んでいます。ブルゴーニュ/Bourgogneには23の協同組合があり、ワインワイン生産の16％を占めています。
