As passionate about wine as my father, Roger, I took over the family estate he had founded, in 2005. He created the name “Haut Cormier” in the 1980s in reference to the first parcel my parents purchased. Since my arrival, the vineyard of 25 hectares expanded up to 40, with the great support of my mother, Josette. We quickly decided to bottle our wines at the farm in order to control quality and chose distribution. Today, I am proud to continue the story of my father’s estate!

A pretty colour with deep purple glints. A subtle nose with fresh fruit and woody and spicy aromas, some amylic notes. The palate is appealing for its pleasant tannins, its fruit, its generous fleshiness. The whole is well integrated, harmonious, with a beautifully fresh, fruity finish.
