Jacques Callet bought the domain in 1996, and since then
extensive renovations have been made of the buildings and built
modern wine-making facilities on the old cellars.
Jacques Callot died in July 2016. His heirs then sold the domain to the
financier (oil, energy)
Jean-François
Henin in 2017, who in the financial world was referred to as Mozart de la
finance. In 2019 he's ranked about the must rich French
people as number 378 with a fortune of about 230 m€.

vinification cellar was built ready for the harvest of 2018.
