Winegrowers from father to son for 3 generations, Laurent and his family cultivate 8 hectares of vines in the commune of Massignieu-de-Rives, located at the gateway to the two Savoie regions and in the extreme south of the Bugey.

The Caveau produces red and white Bugey wines (Bugey Brut, Bugey Chardonnay, Roussette du Bugey, Bugey Gamay, Bugey Pinot Noir, Bugey Mondeuse, Bugey Rosé), which are the perfect accompaniment to your meals, from aperitif to dessert.

Combining tradition and new techniques, both in viticulture and oenology, Laurent tries to respect the living world as much as possible.

He describes his job as one of passion.

Silver Cep 2017 for his sparkling Bugey brut blanc, traditional method at the 7 ceps du Mont Blanc competition

Silver medal 2017 for his white wine "Roussette du Bugey 2016" AOP at the "Elle à table" wine competition.

Quoted in the Hachette guide 2018

Overflowing with energy, he bakes bread over a wood fire on site every Saturday with the farm's wheat, which is ground into flour in a cooperative mill.
