Robert Perroud represents the seventh generation of his family to farm this twelve-hectare domain, which dates back to 1789 and the French Revolution. The vines average close to 50 years of age with some of them over 80 years of age. The wines are made traditionally, via carbonic maceration. Aging takes place in mostly large neutral oak casks, old foudres, with some barriques thrown in for good measure. Old vines in Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly comprise the heart of the estate while there are tiny holdings of Chardonnay in the Beaujolais-Villages appellation as well as a smattering of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir plantings for Bourgogne bottlings.
