The family estate started in the mid-19th century with the great-grand-father. First based on mixed farming, it became exclusively a vine-growing operation in the 60’s at the time Jean-Paul Garde joined his father on the estate. For the next 40 years he devoted himself to the development of the vineyard as well as the modernization of the facilities.
Over the past few years, he have gradually handed the torch to his children who are committed to carrying on our family legacy. Passion, know-how and high standards have passed on from father to son for five generations! Today they carry on new projects, new commitments: the recent HVE* certification is the first step towards an approach that is ever more respectful of the environment and the people.
While preparing for the upcoming changes and challenges facing the world, the commitment and rigor to the service of quality remain intact. Each day, the dynamic and responsive team will continue to give their best in order to offer you a product of excellence.
Obtaining the environmental certification HVE 3 with the 2018 vintage has encouraged the team to continue our efforts in order to maintain biodiversity, reduce the use of chemicals, implement a balanced fertilization program and adopt better water management practices.
It also pushes them to consider the best options for the farming and winemaking process consistent with this approach.
Finally, promotion and awareness of these issues within the team because they impact the way work is done on a daily basis and require relentless attention.
