Marcel Lapierre is a figure of the French vineyard. Having revolutionized his region, he marked a whole generation of winegrowers and wine lovers and initiated a new trend for more fruity and playful wines, setting up well before time the craze for the so-called "natural" wines. Indeed, since 1981, he decided to vinify without SO2 or yeast and to cultivate his vines biodynamically, without chemical fertilizers or weed killers, a heresy at the time!

His son Mathieu (since 2004) and his daughter Camille (arrived in 2013) continue his work today, in the utmost respect of the planet, on 18 hectares of vines.
