They trained with renowned winemakers such as Dominique Derain and Sylvain Pataille at Domaine de la Pousse d'Or and Domaine de Trévallon. The estate, approximately 13 hectares in size, consists of several small vineyards planted on limestone scree terraces in the communes of Montpeyroux, Jonquières, and Saint-Saturnin. The couple uses natural plot-by-plot vinification, without added yeast or sulfur. The vineyard is cultivated organically , and some tasks are carried out according to the biodynamic calendar.
An R de Chardo is made from Chardonnay grown on limestone soils. The wine is aged in barrels for approximately 12 months.

"A 2023 R de Chardo seduces with its mineral freshness, subtle aromas of green apple and citrus, with a beautiful roundness and a delicately woody finish."
