The Story
As a symbol, Ammonite is the one that was extracted and that was offered to Alain Robert in 1992, when he was digging and enlarging the troglodyte cellar of the estate. In 2013, as an obvious way to mark their new tandem, Catherine and Cyril created Ammonite from the Alain Robert Vineyard.
This Ammonite is made of clay and flint, grapes from the oldest vines of the estate (50 years old).
