​
"My family roots date back a thousand years to Burgundy. Thanks to this culture and the legacy of this way of life, we consider wine as part of our life. Our greatest pleasure is to make magnificent selections allowing us to share our wines with as many people as possible. We like to take as a reference this quote from Henri IV former King of France: "Bonne cuisine et bon vin, c'est le Paradis sur Terre" meaning "Good food and wine is heaven on Earth."
