In 2005, Pascal Mugneret joined the family estate after a career as an engineer. He followed his father Gérard, his grandfather René, and his great-grandfather Eugène in this beautiful profession of winemaker. And it was not without much thought, as Pascal is a very thoughtful person. Here are some excerpts from his thoughts that can be found on his website. "First and foremost, I particularly like the term "vigneron" (winemaker), it constantly brings us back to the earth, to the peasant common sense of observation, that of our grandparents, that which we have so much trouble rediscovering."

"In short, not all wines are exceptional, capable of long aging... Just as not all of us are beautiful, rich, strong, and intelligent. But each of us steers our own boat, each wine will tell a story, a story that should be embraced young if the wine had a difficult birth, and conversely, a story that will be discovered after and for several years so that the encounter is even more beautiful."
