Carmen Etcheverry and Martin Ballot have been winemakers since 2020 on 5 hectares of old vines, growing on schist soils in Latour de France, Montner, and Estagel, as well as on granitic arenas in Lansac. They have been certified in organic farming for over 20 years, as Carmen's parents were already growers!

They use plant-based treatments, diversify their production with barley growing between vine rows, and have planted fruit trees within the rows.
