Sébastien, who divides his life between vineyard and IT, has always been passionate about wine. It was from his meeting with Jean-Marc Brignot, itinerant winemaker settled in Arbois after working in Beaujolais and Champagne, that he decided to make wine in the natural way. Jean-Marc trained him in viticulture and communicated his non-interventionist approach as well as his habit of long vatting. These are not widely practiced in Beaujolais: this is perhaps what makes this winemaker a little atypical for his appellation. In any case, he likes to take his time and gives patient and meticulous care to all his vintages: long macerations, slow pressing and prolonged aging. The vines, one hectare and a half of gamay, are in Saint-Étienne-des-Oullières, in the south of Beaujolais, on soils typical of the region: deep granitic and sandy on the surface (sands from the decomposition of granite ). The average age of the vines is around 40 years. The estate is carried out in organic farming (Ecocert certification) and in the natural method, without adding any synthetic input to the vine. Biodynamics is practiced among other things by the application of herbal teas (elderberry, nettle, sage, lavender ...). The harvest is manual. The natural and non-interventionist approach is respected in the vineyard as in the cellar, without the addition of any input, in particular sulfites. The harvest is often destemmed, the maceration lasts around three months and the pressing takes place for ten hours in a vertical manual press ("We will have time to drink glasses, it's a story of patience," says Sébastien . Four or five pawls per quarter of an hour. It takes three quarters of the day. "). Cold fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts: the objective is to encourage the gamay to express the maximum of the terroir without damaging the natural fruitiness of the grape variety. The aging is long: the reds are available one to two years after the vintage. For magnums, breeding is extended in demijohns. For the natural sparkling wine, disgorged by hand and not dosed, the aging is from fourteen to eighteen months on slats.
