This domaine, which belonged to the Pinson family and whose origins go back to 1640, is now run by the two brothers Laurent and Christophe Pinson, and Charlène (Laurent's daughter) who joined them in 2008.

The vineyard extends over 12 hectares and uses one tenth of the "Les Clos" climat, the average age of the vines is 35 years old, the harvest is manual and the grapes harvested first ferment in vats and then in barrels.
