1918
My great-grandfather Jean-Claude, who was both a cooper and a winegrower, chose as his sole craft to grow vines and make wine.
1937
My grandfather Marcel, who was particularly enthralled by vines, buys a few plots in the locality named Le
Tremblay. The domain truly comes into existence at this time.
1952
Marcel had an intuition that the bond between the domain and its clientele would be essential. This is why he begins to bottle his wine at the estate and sell his wine directly.
1962
On returning home after the Algerian war, my father Paul joins my grandfather working at the domain.
1967
My father buys a plot of vines in the locality named Les Greneriers. It gives its name to one of our leading wines. It is an important phase for the domain, with the purchase of this plot of vines now one
hundred years old.
1983
Recently qualified in viticulture and oenology, I begin working alongside my father and grandfather.
2008
I take over from my father, in charge of the domain.
2018
Perrine, our youngest daughter, is starting a BTS in viticulture-oenology.
2018 à 2022
Perrine alternates periods of work on the family estate with long periods of work abroad. She spent 6 months in the United States on a 30-hectare estate in Sonoma Valley as a grape presser, including those that were raisined. She also spent several months in a small 5-hectare estate in Victoria, Australia, doing high-quality work in the vineyard and cellar.
2023
Perrine joins her father Éric in a partnership where each generation feeds off the other in order to shape the future and the sustainability of the estate.
