In 2002 Ludwig Bindernagel (Bavarian) e Nathalie Eigenschenck (Parisian) founded their domaine in Poligny, in the heart of the Jura Revermont. The following year, their first thousandth. The vineyards, scattered in the adjoining municipalities, are largely already mature, with an average age that is close to half a century: a real qualitative blessing. Some of them are planted with local ecotypes of Burgundian vines (chardonnay, pinot noir – here called savagnin noir), or typical natives of the Jura. From the outset, the viticultural approach aimed at eliminating insecticides and chemical fertilizers, and was soon oriented towards organic farming, even without claiming official certification. Today "Lulu" and Nathalie cultivate about 4 hectares of property, with the utmost respect for their marly-limestone terroir.

The vinification follows rigorous principles and values: manual harvesting, demanding selection, traditional pressing, static racking, no exogenous yeasts, parcel vinifications and long times, no dosage for the crémants. Objective: the search for expressive naturalness and authenticity. In all, an average of just 12,000 bottles a year
