In our Family it is narrated that it was about the 1781 when, from Fornet, a small village in Valgrisenche, now reemerged from Beauregard dam, our maternal ancestor started descending to Ollignan in order to collect wine and nuts essentials for making it through the long mountain winters. The Little Ice Age was ravaging throughout the Alps and the foods provided by this farmhouse where the only sustenance for those poor and humble people.

Inherited those lands by his wife, in 1968 Grandpa Dauphin started bottling his own wine for the “II Exposition des Vins du Val d’Aoste”: the success of that fair encouraged our grandfather’s drive that brought the farm from 3000 m2 to the current 12 hectares. In the following years, all five sons committed themselves to the work: Vincent, Giorgio, Marco, Fernand and Eraldo, everyone expert in his own department.
A new winery was built in 2000 in order to hold the increasing harvests.
In 2011 the breakthrough: by mutual agreement the organic conversion started, the first winery in Valle d’Aosta. In 2015 a further renewal allowed to increase the winery in order to host all the 120.000 bottles produced.

At the dawn of 2018, this wonderful proponent of Aosta Valley viticultural tradition goes onto the hands of the third Grosjean generation: Hervé, Simon, Didier and the son-in-law Marco, inherited the mandate.
