It's been a while since the first time I arrived here in Valle d'Aosta, driven by the desire of knowing its viticultural history. Every time a new secret spot is waiting to be unveiled. There's nothing better in the world than these valleys.
Neal Rosenthal's words, our partner and friend in the american adventure, synthesise perfectly what incites us everyday in our job. We have the luck to live and work in one of the most precious pearls of the Earth and the 
wonder that we feel daily breathing the environment that surrounds us drive us to work at our best to distil as much beauty as possibile from all this splendor.
How can we live in such a close contact with our terroir without a crazy desire to preserve and valorise it? Grandpa Dauphin in his heart knew it when, already 50 years ago didn't use any pesticides nor acaricides; our fathers, in 2011, bravely wanted to tell the world working fiercely to get the Organic certification. Once you are committed to a mission, you need to take out all the strength and willpower in order to realise it.
And so, on the passage of the third generation and the upgrade of the photovoltaic solar system, we wanted to actualize and give continuity to this work of safeguarding. Maybe, home, with its products and riches, is really the place from where to start building something more beautiful and healthier.
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 hold 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, Mathieu, Didier, Josianne and the son-in-law Marco, inherited the mandate.
