Presentation

Presentation
Owned by the Daniel family since 1753, the estate is located in the Dentelles de Montmirail at an altitude of 300 metres. The vineyard has a fine terroir that protects the vines from disease and guarantees pure, natural wine. The Daniel family knows a thing or two about viticulture since they have been growing vines for generations. Their wine is powerful and generous.
