The passion for the vine and wine is transmitted from father to son with the same high standards and the same respect for the terroir to guarantee authentic quality wines.

He studies trade and continues his training as a sales representative at Auchan in the wine department.
Jean-Marc then joined the family business in 1991, to deal mainly with sales and export in several countries.
“It is a chance to combine his profession and his passion by marketing the wines of the family estate.”.
Eric, just as passionate as his brother about wine, decides to orient himself in the culture of the vine..
After a diploma in oenology obtained in Beaune, he began working for the Hospices de Beaujeu on an area of 83 hectares. Eric then goes to Australia during a 3 month internship to discover the techniques of growing vines.
En 1993, Eric took over the Pardon & Fils estate and brought his knowledge and experience in vine growing and wine making.

Antoine, son of Jean-Marc, participates from a very young age in the grape harvest and work in the vineyard.
After studying in the vineyard, he too left for Australia for 6 months to develop his knowledge and learn new farming methods.
It was in 2016 that he joined Pardon & Fils, thus continuing his family passion. He mainly takes care of the vineyard full time, preferring the vines to the vatting.
