Pascal Thereau is an up-front, young, and sincere person, he tells you like it is and the wines are as such transparent and alive. For many years, he spent his professional life in the art of sourcing wood and crafting barrels. In 2018, he started part-time studying in Beaune and working at Domaine André et Mireille Tissot with Stéphane his mentor.

​

In 2021, Pascal made his first cuvée “Coup de Feu” a 100% Chardonnay from a tiny 1-acre parcel in Arbois called “La Régole”. In 2022, he obtained several parcels from Tissot and Domaine les Bodines.

Today, in addition to the parcel “La Régole” the estate consists of 6ha of various lieu-dits:

“Les Tourillons” is situated above the village of Arbois, 4.3 acres in elevation and planted with Savagnin and Chardonnay the soil is made of limestone.

“Les Bodines” 8 acres of mostly clay and limestone soil planted with Pinot Noir, Poulsard, Savagnin and Trousseau.

“Les Corvées” 0.5 acre planted with Chardonnay on red marl.

​

Pascal farms his vineyards organically and has been certified since 2023. Regarding winemaking, minimum intervention prevails, all the reds spend time in tanks to keep a fruit-forward style, while the whites ferment in barrels and are aged in wood, amphoras, concrete, or wood tank. The winery is called La Patelle, named after a Kiosque located in the lieu-dit Les Tourillons and made in the form of patella shells. This abandoned small roof stall was recreated and built by Pascal on his winery.
