Marcel Richaud
is the 5th generation at the domain today covering 55 ha of which a
minor part are rented vineyards.
The vineyards are certified agriculture biologique.
Marcel
started 17 years old to cultivate his aunt's vineyards and when he
was 20 in 1974 his father wanted to retire and he took over his
vineyards. From the very beginning the vines were cultivated by organic
methods. Some biodynamic elements are also used.
Marcel's son Thomas
returned to the domain in 2015 and in 2016, also his daughter Claire.
