The meeting of terroir
and vintage
I go with the feeling of the wine by constantly seeking balance, not denying the contribution of modernity but always keeping something of the past in mind, a certain history… A vertical tasting of the last thirty vintages would show that there has been no break. Man only reveals what is already there… The terroir dominates everything.
