A fruity red Vin de France with beautiful freshness

The estate

The Gérin family has embodied winemaking history and expertise for six generations. The estate's modern story began in 1983 with the acquisition of a first plot. Jean-Michel Gérin then took over the family estate in 1987.

Innovation and ambition have driven the estate's development: separate vinification of emblematic lieux-dits such as "Les Grandes Places" (1988), "La Landonne" (1996) and "La Viallière" (planted in 2003, first vintage in 2009). In 2014, a new, modern winemaking facility was inaugurated, followed in 2018 by the separate vinification of the "Côte-Bodin" lieu-dit. In 2020, an environmental turning point began with the conversion to organic farming, certified since the 2023 vintage. Today, Michaël and Alexis Gérin carry on this tradition of excellence on an estate of nearly 20 hectares.
