In the 1960’s, Claude Amirault (the father of Thierry and Xavier) acquired a great stone quarry at a “candle” auction from Olivier Gendebien (a famous racing driver and four-times winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours race).

With the help of several colleagues and local winegrowers, he converted it into a cave for ageing wine. The hundreds of meters of galleries are accessible by tractor and allow the ageing of our wines in demi-muids (500L oak barrels) at a constant temperature of 13˚c throughout the year.
