The winery was founded in 1990 by Jean Michel Petit, who after several years of experience in California, returned to his homeland to start a new adventure. Despite his international training, Jean Michel has oriented production towards wines of great territorial typicity, favoring indigenous grape varieties and the oldest winemaking techniques to produce Vin Jaune.
