Having inherited some of the most enviable vineyards in the region, cousins Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron converted them to biodynamic farming, certifying in 2005. With some sites on vaunted silex soil and others on cailottes, they always vinify parcels separately and ferment with native yeast. Les Romains (all silex) became their 1st single plot release in 1997. It is aged in old barriques for a year.
