"The winegrower's profession is a whole, which is what makes it so rich but also so complex, and it can be easy to get lost; it's up to us to take the time to (re)define our direction, to listen to our intuitions, with nature, which inexorably pursues its own cycles and evolutions."

Our
"Bacchus philosophy"
The "good" idea from the "good" winemaker: to make "good" wines in a privileged place… Okay, but in real life, what does that mean?
With a few years of hindsight (and yes ...), I can observe that we are well in the very basis of philosophy, by that I mean questions, realizations, perpetual movements linked to our evolutions as a whole , oscillating between periods of doubt, discomfort, comfort, evolution….
The profession of winegrower is a whole, which makes it so rich but also its great complexity, where it can be easy to get lost; it is up to us to know how to take the time to (re) define our course, to (re) give meaning, to keep our capacities for discernment and adjustment.
Stay tuned to our intuitions, in connection with a nature which itself inexorably pursues its own cycles and evolutions.
This same nature, which, unpredictable mistress , knows how to take care of our humility ...
Isolating a “vinic” philosophy will therefore be incomplete, because it is closely linked to a more holistic aspect, where we try to (re) link the plant, the animal, the human and sometimes the + subtle;) ..
Today's one tends for me towards values of freedom, authenticity, originality, simplicity, taste , nature, pleasure. May you find them in our wines !!
OUR
history
August 1997, Hélène and I (respectively from Charente and Berry) “landed” on this marvelous promontory, overlooking the Garonne.
Located in the south-east of the Entre Deux Mers region (60 km south of Bordeaux), close to the small town of art and history of La Réole.
This small road, which seems to lead to the "end of the world", ends in a "cul de sac", at the top of the aptly named "Tirepet hill". Indeed, the latter has the particularity of being very steep and legend tells us that the working animals, the "beasts of burden", relieved themselves of their efforts to climb to the farm by "pulling the fart" up the hill!
On the path of this adventure, our 3 children were born, Louise, Zoé and Octave, themselves already on the move, discovering their own paths...
Hélène also created her "alternative" equestrian center: Hélène's Kids Ponies .
Our place, this land
In organic production mode since 2008, we remain aware that any “system” or method of management has its own limits.
It is up to us to remain clear-sighted and to continue our adjustments and our developments, taking into account as much as possible the living world as a whole...
“It's easy to keep up with the times. Big deal! Anyone can be of their time ! Just follow everyone and bleat with the flock.
But ar e its place, it is precisely established between the place where one leads his life and oneself, this kind of agreement is that we end up approaching the so-called wisdom "
