Now in its seventh generation, the estate is managed by Thomas and Julie Collonge, who have infused modern eco-friendly practices into their winemaking. Spanning 30 acres, the vineyard cultivates traditional Beaujolais varietals, notably Gamay, across esteemed appellations such as Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, and Beaujolais Blanc.

This dedication has garnered international acclaim, with notable accolades such as the 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes (Bon Vent) being named Best Gamay in the World at the 14th International Gamay Competition. Additionally, their 2023 Morgon Les Charmes (Bon Appetit) and 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Les Grenèriers cuvées received Best in Show awards at the Decanter Wine Awards, underscoring the winery's commitment to excellence.
