I run with my parents the family domain located in Beaujolais mostly in the Moulin à Vent appelation. I came back from Paris to the region to work with my parents and try to have a new project with my parents : turn the vineyard organic, doing natural wines with the less intrants we can. Remove filtration, use natural yeast, reduce the amount of sulfur to just add during the racking and bottling. Here is a little presentation of me An agronomist by training, I first want to focus my time on quality work in the vineyard. In order to obtain beautiful vines, living soils and balanced grapes. Vinification is carried out as simply as possible with the fewest possible inputs in order to obtain fine wines that express their terroir. Convinced of the peculiarity of the Beaujolais vineyard, I try to respect the expression of Gamay as much as possible : fruity, complex, tannic or fine depending on the terroirs. Wine is a product of pleasure so it seems essential for me to produce it while reducing its environmental impact. This is why I want to diversify the landscapes by planting hedges and fruit trees, try new methods of fertilization, test plant extracts, improve our plants and find genetic diversity… Working with living organisms is very stimulating because everything is in perpetual evolution and has many unknowns.
