VINIFICATION
They have chosen to eschew the requests of the Beaujolais negociants to “thermovinify” their wine. Thomas and Anne- Laure prefers to harvest by hand and plow, rather than spray. They useslittle manipulation in the cellar, resulting in wines that reflect “place” – small plots, thoughtfully tended by hand.
