In 1990, may aunt and I took over my grandparents’ plots. We sold all of our harvests to a négociant until 1997, and then went our own ways. For 16 years, I managed about 3 hectares and in 2013, my aunt stopped working and gave me the possibility of working on her vines as well. For the first six years, I focused on producing rich and powerful wines.  In 2003, the vintage was overly mature or too ripe, which led me to change my style, with greater focus on higher acid content in my wines.

The vineyard has access to about 20 plots, totalling about 6 hectares, essentially in or around Puligny Montrachet. The vines are mainly those that belonged to my grandparents: Chardonnay is used for all our white wines, except for the Bourgogne Aligoté appellation and, for red Burgundy wines, we use pinot noir grapes. The density of our land coverage varies between 10,000 to 11,000 vines per hectare. Our pruning techniques are Guyot simple, Guyot Poussard and cordon de Royat.
