The Story

Paul Masquin, grandfather of Julien Masquin, started the estate with only a few plots in Courthézon. However, busy with the creation of a brush company, he entrusted them in sharecropping to neighboring winegrowers. Julien took over the management of the estate in 1998 and devoted all his efforts to the return of sustainable farming methods and environmentally friendly practices. He vinified his first vintage in 2009 and in 2017, Julien built a brand new cellar for vinification and maturation : the adventure goes on !
