According to the importer: "With Edmond Vatan, born in 1929, I find it a mistake to "judge" vintages. Literally no matter what the conditions of the year, whatever he creates is remarkable, with amazing consistency from vintage to vintage. … Vinification in old tank; one racking, and then bottling with no fining or filtration when the conditions are perfect in nature. The 2007 was the last vintage that Edmond produced on his own. Starting with 2008, his daughter Anne took over, with Edmond remaining involved, advising and guiding. Anne is making wine that continues in every way the greatness of this tiny gem of Chavignol."
