We have not missed Maxime Cottenceau's previous experience in the vineyard, during which he vinified for two years alongside Vincent Dureuil, the treasure of Rully, which allowed him to build a very solid background for his own winemaking story.

His estate covers 7.5 hectares of vines, and after obtaining the first results from the 2018 vintage, we are pleased to present the superb 2020 vintage, marked by a beautiful and mineral structure, resulting in elegant, full-bodied wines with good aging potential for the first growths.
