Former chef and sommelier now self-taught winemaker Francois has had a meteoric rise to stardom. He now resides over an impressive selection of terroirs from various Northern Rhône appellations no doubt put together with the assistance of long-time friend and mentor Yves Cuilleron. In the winery his technique has shifted slightly in recent times with less oak influence, more use of whole cluster and a complete move away from punch downs. The result is a range of wines that show purity and freshness with finer, more sappy tannin structures than previous releases.
