The adventure could have ended in the 1970s, but Éric Simonet, freshly graduated in oenology, chose to return to the shores of Lake Morat to take over the estate. His first vintage, 1975, was an immediate success and opened the way to a new era: diversification of grape varieties, bold introduction of barrels, and a constant quest for precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHis sons, Fabrice and Stéphane, later joined the estate, bringing with them experiences from Switzerland and abroad. Their arrival marked a turning point: biodynamics, discovered by Fabrice at Josmeyer in Alsace, gradually became the backbone of the estate, leading to Demeter certification. With the support of Jean-Michel Comme (\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eChâteau Pontet-Canet in Pauillac), they further refined their understanding of the soils and installed a \"haute couture\" winery, designed to vinify each plot with meticulousness and sincerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape varieties \u0026amp; style\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChasselas, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Merlot, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Syrah, Diolinoir, Freiburger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e→ \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003ePrecise, sensitive wines, crafted plot by plot.
