It was Jean-Pierre’s parents who started cultivating vines in 1970s and handed them on to JP in 1987. The domaine is still very much driven by a family-led culture and JP is moving back to a degree of mixed farming, in part to improve the biodiversity of the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVines are raised naturally, with terroir at the heart of the operation and no use of chemicals.
