Fabrice Domercq and Jasper Morrison began working the vines in 2007. The two hectares lie on the right bank of the Dordogne, in the Côtes de Castillon and the Côtes de Francs, and the cellar is at Mérignas, in the north of the Entre-deux-Mers. The red is sold as Bordeaux Supérieur.

The vines are farmed biodynamically, with Demeter certification, and yields stay at 20 to 25 hectolitres per hectare. The grapes are picked by hand and, since 2010, destemmed by hand as well. Fermentation starts on indigenous yeasts without sulphites; the wine ages about eighteen months in barrels of 225, 500 and 600 litres and in steel, and is bottled without fining or filtration, with a small dose of sulphur only when needed. Since 2015 the estate also makes a sparkling wine, James.

The range here includes the red Bordeaux in several vintages, James, and the small cuvées Borto, Eguor, Mialbec and Secmillon.
