From 1973, vinification is done entirely on the estate. Since then, the estate has grown considerably as it currently reaches 35 hectares. At the beginning, Alphonse manages the property. Then Philippe, his son, settles in 1977 and decides to market all the production in bottles. Expansion and modernization work is then done little by little. In 2005, Emilie, with her degree in oenology in her pocket, joins her father. In 2009, Christophe, Emilie's brother, joined the estate after obtaining his BTS viticulture / oenology.
