Our origins
Created by Louis VATTAN in the 19th century, the domaine originally covered just a few hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir vines, and the later was expanded by his grandson Paul VATTAN who joined the Domaine in 1954 when he was just 14 years old. Paul was deeply attached to his terroir and worked tirelessly to develop his vineyards which now covers 12.5ha, using winemaking practices that respect these 100% clay-limestone soils (locally called ‘Terres Blanches’). Paul was a passionate winemaker and he implemented a methodical winemaking practice (careful selection of vine stocks, pruning method that respects sap flows, meticulous caring of the vines) that are still in place at the Domaine today.
