Following the example of some colleagues, this exploitation has abandoned the old Arboisian stones to invest in the artisanal zone. Among the Ratte family are the son Quentin, the father Michel-Henri and Françoise whose parents were local winegrowers. They work in "Bio" and "Biodynamics", approved "Demeter". Use for example of horn dung, silica, herbal teas and decoctions for the good health of the soil as well as the 5 vine stocks used. The 9 hectares are spread over 7 of the most popular local climates such as "Les Corvées", "Le grand Curoulet" and "La Bergère". The same rigour comes into play in the vinification and sobriety right down to the labels on the bottles. On the other hand, there are original qualifiers to designate vintages such as this "Aristocratte", a close relative of the Macvin based on "Fine" or even this "Dandy", a passerillé who is not entitled to the title of Vin de paille because it has a titre of 13.7° instead of the required 14. However, you should know that the grapes were dried for 6 months and the juice was aged for 3 years, one of which was during fermentation!

Ici, on a le choix entre les deux, avec un soupçon de magie/sorcellerie à la sauce Rodolphe Steiner. Des vins très expressifs, assez fins, qui demandent tout d’emmène une attention et de la concentration. Des vins que je qualifierais de difficiles, et qui aiguisent ma curiosité. Le nez n’est pas toujours expressif, et il faut attendre la suite pour comprendre toute la puissance du terroir.
La localisation bizarre en plein dans la zone industrielle d’Arbois est le fruit de la spéculation ahurissante en centre ville qui chasse les « petites gens ». Déjà trois viticulteurs ont sauté le pas visiblement.
