Transparency & Precision

"Precision is not a technique. It is an attitude."

Structure is not ornament
Our wines bear the names of classic suite movements – Gigue, Sarabande, Allemande, La Loure. These musical references are not merely aesthetic; they represent a conceptual model. A suite is composed of clearly defined movements. Each movement follows an inherent logic of tempo, relationship, and tension. Similarly, in wine, character and balance do not arise by chance. They result from deliberate choices.

Transparency is not an add-on for us. It is part of the structure.

Precision in the vineyard & cellar
For us, parcelling means differentiation, not ownership. Our four terroirs are harvested and vinified separately. We understand ripeness physiologically – not just analytically. A low yield is not a status symbol. It is the result of selective work.

Aging for 18 months in barriques is not an aesthetic decision, but a structural one. When we publish analytical data, it is not as a technical statement, but as an invitation to interpret it.

commitment
Transparency means being verifiable. If we specify a drinking window – for example, 2025–2040 – it's based on tasting, structure, and experience. We explain our decisions because we've thought them through.

Examples from our work

1. Limitation

Our red wines are deliberately limited .

2. Disclose analysis results

We publish our technical data .

3. Defined drinking window

Each cuvée receives a clearly formulated recommendation .

Attitude beyond wine
The analogy of the suite not only shapes our cuvées; it shapes our philosophy. Structure demands discipline. Discipline creates freedom. From this same philosophy arises our Domaine as a place of culture. And from it arises the Fond aux Conseillans, with which we support young musicians. Precision is not a limitation; it is the prerequisite for expression.

scale
We don't deliberately create ambiguity. We don't change style for tactical reasons. We explain because we take responsibility. Clarity builds trust. Trust builds permanence.

Duration is our measure.

Philosophy
Time as a principle
