Founder, Etienne Camuzet, parced out his vineyards to sharecropppers while being a full-time politician. His daughter bequeathed the holdings to her closest relative, Jean Meo, a de Gaulle cabinet member, who also ran it from afar. It wasn't until Jean's son took over in 1985, and brought in Burgundy legend Henri Jayer, that things really started to jell. Pure and balanced.
