A sincere wine activist, adept at gentle winemaking and resolutely against traumatic methods, Marcel Richaud makes his wines with as much talent as passion. Wines of pleasure worked with the greatest respect. The estate's flagship cuvée remains L'Ebrescade, named after a high hillside.

Just up there, a few metres from the family estate, he has created a cellar to welcome wine lovers. This is where you can taste his wines.
