APPEARANCE SO SIMPLE BY OLIVIER: Since the choice to be a winemaker, then to develop wine, our will was and remains to make the wine as simply as possible: let speak the grapes we have grown throughout the This seemingly simple will, as a matter of course, perpetuating the work of the generations of winemakers who preceded us has come up against the recent history of the vineyard. What has been called modernization. From the latter, we used what seemed relevant to relieve this painful and difficult work, and to gain precision. But we have dismissed everything that in our eyes could trivialize the origin of our grapes as the "correction" of the harvest, the yeast, the transition to cold, filtration, massive doses of sulphites. And I forget ... It is on this will and on these choices that we have been criticized. Our work aims to bring the grapes to full maturity, then to pick them by hand, then the obtained juices ferment and give without additions the wine of the year. It will be aged from twelve to sixteen months following the cuvées and bottled without fining and filtration (with rare exceptions due to residual sugars). The cultivation of the vine is officially done according to the specifications of the organic farming since 2005. Consequently we use as much as possible the sulfur and the copper as well as extracts of plants. Our goal was to be a winemaker to offer real wines and the healthiest possible. This was possible thanks to you who followed us and to journalists who highlighted our work. MAKING WINE AS ONE REACHES A HISTORY BY ALICE: It would be the ideal, the blank page every year, the white pages every year, one for each vine. But the actors are there: the vines that will not change places and in which we always have the same feelings when we go to work there, like relations with colleagues, colleagues who have their character, their habits that do not change not easily. And the weather, never the same from one year to another, like a star with its quirks The directors: Alice and Olivier, interpret this story, make it intelligible, drinkable. "Rather than endure or even worse control, withdraw back and accompany" One day during the winter, the bottle comes out of the cellar and soon arrives on your table and it is you who come into play, who will listen to this history and with your lived your sensations, your desires of the moment, you will appropriate it, as one brings his imagination when one reads a book and that Mrs. Bovary does not have the same head from one reader to the other. This story is too rich, too intimate, too subtle to summarize with "aromas of white flowers and chalk, can age 3 years and will be wonderful with a chicken with morels, blah blah" or "plot exposed south-east, 1 night, 12 months in bed, bottled so much ... "For us the story is sometimes cheerful, sometimes pretty, sometimes sad and always full of suspense. It is a ray of sunshine shaving in the Rosettes, a breakdown in Chitry, a doubt at the waist in front of a hundred years old St-Bris, anger in the Clardys, the dream in front of the large isolated farm of Loigny, the conscientious care given to the Bel-Air, a tiredness in the big vines of Envers, a music in the ears to give you energy when you attack a new trellis, a laugh with a harvester, a grape crunched on the mouth, l smell of the juice that flows from the press, the mottled boots that weigh 2 tons and this feeling of lightness when you clean them at the end of the vine, the smell of fermentations, the stress of the end of August early September when you are digging the vintage previous and that you look at the sky with anxiety to try to know what will give the following vintage, the smell of the tank when you open it after having emptied it, the cigalous, the heat, the spring which returns finally ...
