Marcel Lapierre, a true pioneer, shaped a generation of winemakers and wine lovers. Long before the natural wine movement took off, he championed a new style—vibrant, fruit-driven wines that broke with convention.

In 1981, he made a bold choice: vinifying without sulfur or added yeast and embracing biodynamic farming, eliminating chemical fertilizers and herbicides—a radical approach at the time.

Today, his legacy lives on through his son Mathieu (since 2004) and daughter Camille (since 2013), who continue his work with the same meticulous care, crafting wines with unwavering respect for their 18-hectare estate.
