Tracing a path
to freedom

Making wine is all my life. My father and grandfather passed on the spirit of working hard, an attachment to the land, pride in my work, strong drive and the desire to improve. In sum, an ethic without value judgment. My own choices were never made against them, but rather thanks to them. I have of course inherited expertise, but also life skills: both have shaped my work as a winemaker.

I received authenticity from my grandfather and father. By listening and working with them, and by copying their gestures, I have inherited the family memory. It accompanies me from the vineyard to the cellar, in everything that we do. But as we want to produce wines with their own special singularity, we cannot limit ourselves to authenticity. For if our wines are authentic, our sincerity, marked by a quest for meaning, is their signature. We shape our future by questioning first and foremost our past. Moving and shaking have not just been the result of a set of circumstances, but also our way of putting our story into perspective without treason or arrogance.

At the end of this chain of values, we only have a single expectation: that our wares deliver their promise with regard to our vision of conviviality: simple, attentive and joyful. Last but not least, what about all the anonymous consumers – connoisseurs or wine lovers – for whom our Champagnes guarantee a moment of friendship, an exciting discovery, or just a spell in our company.
