Raphaël Hannart is quite a character, whose profile contrasts with the traditional winegrower. Arrived 25 years ago in Luxembourg in the activity of banking, it was at the end of the 2000s that he sought to create an organic artisanal activity, more in line with his ideas and his enthusiasm. Remembering with nostalgia the periodic family supplies outings in the Luxembourg cellars of his childhood, wine production therefore seemed obvious to him. Since then, his domain has developed well. Buying here and there, plots of vines gleaned through word of mouth from his good local network, Raphaël works his vines at Scheierbierg but vinifies his wines in collaboration with Yves Sunnen from Domaine Sunnen-Hoffmann. Raphaël therefore guarantees organic farming production, and it is not Déclic, his workhorse that he uses instead of a tractor to work the soil and which has become the emblem of the winery's bottles, who will tell us the opposite!
