“My family has been making wine here for several generations, and I gradually took over the vineyards of my grandparents and parents in the mid 1990s.

Since 2000, I have been running the estate with my wife, Emmanuelle. Today, our property comprises a dozen hectares (30 acres) on various types of soil (Kimmeridgian marl, siliceous-clay and Villiers limestone).

We sell 90,000 bottles a year, essentially to the café-hotel-restaurant sector, to individual clients and to export markets.

Our approach is to continually strive to improve the quality of our wines through the development of sustainable methods, using a strict minimum of products to treat the vines against the disease.”
