The history of this authentic wine estate dates back to the 19th century when Berthe Roumier owned 1.5 hectares of vineyard in Berthiers. Together with her husband, Ernest Seguin, they bought some more vineyards in Bouchot. For example, a variety of terroirs were obtained over the years, including the three most important: lime (fruit), the famous Kimmeridge soils (aromatic strength) and Silex (minerality). Through a combination, they are able to produce complex and refined Pouilly Fumé's that have become almost the trademark of the domain. The belief is that the wine is made in the vineyard. Protecting the local ecosystem is a top priority. They also work according to the "Lutte Raissonée" which guarantees the most natural possible approach to the wine process and avoids the loss of the natural character of the vineyard. The basement is also located on 3 levels to work with gravity as much as possible and to avoid the use of pumps. The current winemaker Philippe Seguin is a real perfectionist and skilled in New Zealand, Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhône before joining and now also succeeding his father. His accompanying philosophy is "Wealth in Diversity". Each of his wines is an unmissable example of this! Still one big misunderstanding from the world help. The famous "Fumé" does not refer to flint or smoky characteristics of the wine but to the typical gray haze that specifically appears there on the Sauvignon grape with optimal maturity! ... or maybe on the haze that appears after consuming some glasses of this Divine liquid.
