Julien Cécillon and Nancy Kerschen are considered the new talents of the Northern Rhone, more exactly on the well-known hill of Hermitage. If Syrah is the king variety there, they also work with Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier but also Gamay, which they source from a high-altitude vineyard. Appellation wines include two Saint-Joseph (rouge and blanc), a Crozes-Hermitage, a Saint-Péray and a most stellar Cornas. Their wines have a certain polish to it,with bursting fruit, smokey notes and unmistakable minerality.

Some of the vineyards they purchase grapes from are biodynamic, such as the excellent Crozes-Hermitage "Les Marguerites".
