A former banker with Credit Agricole, Isabel Ferrando purchased this venerable estate in the les Serre lieu-dit in 2002. Working with Philippe Cambie and influenced by Henri Bonneau, she farms organically, ages her wines in both cement and used demi-muids and bottles without fining or filtering. Her wines are at once restrained and exuberant. Muscular, yet full of finesse.
