Jean-Marc and Ann-Marie Vincent were influencers long before the advent of social media. With methods in the vineyard that more prestigious wineries are now starting to replicate, they have set the benchmark for Chardonnay in the region. These include high-density planting, raised canopies and the absence of anything resembling a tractor.
