Annie et René, après avoir été des métayers pendant 20 ans, ont acheté l'exploitation en 1987 : 8 hectares de vignes ainsi que les bâtiments. Ils ont développé petit à petit la vente en bouteilles et ont donné le goût de ce beau métier à leurs deux enfants : Carine (commerciale) et Laurent (œnologue). Ensemble, ils ont créé en mai 2002 une EARL et ont augmenté la surface des vignes exploitées. Chacun apporte un savoir-faire différent, les « hommes » sont spécialisés dans le travail de la vigne et de la vinification et les « femmes » du commerce, de la réception en cave, des salons, de la comptabilité...
L'exploitation familiale est installée dans les bâtiments de l'ancienne métairie du Château de THULON. 14 hectares de vignes situés sur 4 villages sont exploités aujourd'hui. L'âge moyen des vignes est de 50 ans, densité de 8 à 10 000 pieds/hectare, taille gobelet ras du sol.

One of the widest selections of the web of authors' wines and craftsmen
What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
