Following their separation, Alice continued running the estate on her own, gradually expanding it from around 2 hectares to approximately 6.5 hectares today, while continuing to plant more vineyards.

This has allowed her to build an extraordinary and diverse range of wines from across France. Her energy and commitment remain remarkable: for her négoce projects — which can span from Roussillon and Provence in the south, to Alsace in the north and the Loire in the west — she and her team travel to harvest the grapes themselves and bring them back to Arbois for vinification.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlice’s own vines are closely spread around the outskirts of Arbois.
