The gradual establishment of the estate extends over a little less than 4 hectares located in the communes of Ballaison and Douvaine (74), half of which is very recent planting and the other half is old vines, some of which are more than 60 years. The historical grape variety is Chasselas Blanc, for the old vines and the plantations were made of Pinot Noir, Altesse and Mondeuse Noire. It was favored for plantations, the use of mass selection to bring diversity to the plots, and grass cover is preserved to limit soil erosion and thus preserve ecosystems.
In the vineyard, cultivation is done according to organic specifications, treatments are carried out with reduced doses of copper and sulfur, all supplemented with fermented plant extract. The tillage is superficial, the plots are mainly on a slope and the mechanical passages are only done using tracks, which allows the soil not to compact. A lot of work is done respecting the lunar calendar, such as pruning, green work and also the harvest.
The harvest is done manually, in 20kg boxes, so as not to crush the grapes and thus encourage further fermentation. This is either semi-stemmed, in maceration for more than 2 weeks, or in direct pressing, which following a simple settling, initiates a spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts which will take place in vinification without input until bottling. This is carried out after aging on total lees for more than 9 months, in vats or barrels. Bottling also follows the lunar calendar, there is no filtration or fining on the wines, which preserves the aromatics of the wines and allows them to express the full potential of this grape variety.
