Thanks to many years of experience, we have acquired specialised knowledge in a number of fields to help us achieve our goal :
"to guarantee the authenticity and quality of wine aged with the greatest of care"

Although we are essentially traditional wine shippers, we have had to constantly develop, adapt, and modernise our production capacities as well our commercial expertise to ensure the highest possible standards.

[ Glossary ]

 Maceration : This is the process whereby red wine grapes are put in vat and fermented before being pressed. Maceration can last from 3-8 weeks, depending on the winegrower's preference. This choice will have a major influence on the wine's future as well as the degree to which it is smooth or tannic.

 Ageing : This is the name given to the process taking place between the end of fermentation and bottling. Wines are aged in either oak barrel or vat. The length of time varies according to the wine: several weeks for nouveau wines such as Beaujolais to several months for the great wines of Burgundy. The shipper's essential role is to age wine.
