With its modern winery and vineyard blocks named after classic rock songs, the winery foreshadowed a new era, and by employing the giant David Abreu as cultivation consultant, and Michel Rolland and later Philippe Melka as brewing consultants, the winery established a new era by pursuing a thoroughly high-quality approach.
At Abreu's invitation, Christopher Tynan joined the team in 2012, and in 2013 the winery became the first to achieve 100 points from Parker.

Tynan is expected to continue to play an active role as Director of Winemaking.
