Notes from the Importer: Saisons is a negociant project created in 2019 by Loic Lamy and Eric Pignal. Definitely a high-end micro negoce project, inspired by their previous work experiences with Dujac, Roulot or Domaine de Montille. Eric got a new job as chief winemaker at Simon Bize, and this left Loïc to carry on alone. This is a small estate. In 2023, there were only 3000 bottles… not much for the world market.
