Since 1890 one generation after another have followed, and marriages has shifted the names from Rabasse to Charavin to Couturier and the area of vineyards have grown.
Today it's Laure Couturier who runs the domain. Her children Theophile and Martha seams both to be ready to be the next generation.

The domain now covers 40 hectares and produces wines from 6 appellations. Some parcels are 80-100-years-old and the average age is around 50 years.
Barrels are not used for ageing of any cuvée from the domain.
The vines are cultivated to some extent by biodynamic principles.
