Ours is a
family project, including my wife Corinne
and our children, Thomas and Laure. Without
our full family effort little would have
happened. We did not “take over a vineyard”
but rather became a link in a long history
of making wine from this special land.
My family and I began to change the
vineyard to its new life, to produce a wine
signed by us for an estate bottling. We
utilized all the precious old vines as
stock. But we had to add some acreages to
our vineyard, in order to allow us to
produce enough wine to make our project
economically viable and keeping parental
link with our vineyard.
Our
first harvest was overwhelming and
challenging, yet gave us our sense of
purpose in our first years as wine makers.
We diligently continued in our early
wine making years in our quest to produce
very special wines. Finally the long awaited
wines arrived.
They not only represented their land,
or “terroir” as we say here in France, they
had a part of our family in them including
our children who are never far from our
side.
Our
pride is this authenticity.
