A passion, a challenge
Danielle Meunier took over the estate in 1972 with passion and dedication.
She grew up on the estate and, from an early age, took part in the work in the vineyard. At the time of the handover, and against a backdrop of technical challenges for a woman in the wine world, a chain of solidarity was created around her.
Firstly, her family, who supported her in this technical and economic challenge, but also the technicians and cellar masters of Saint-Emilion.
It was the estate’s oenologist at the time who actually helped her open the doors to this male-dominated world and passed on to her the know-how of winemaking.
