Born in Arcachon... I grew up between the Arcachon Basin and Bordeaux. I studied anthropology, more specifically on the themes of environmental protection and the living conditions of indigenous populations, in the south of Brazil in the state of Paraná, in Guaraqueçaba. Then I worked in Morocco supporting a network of farmers and training farmers by farmers, peer training. After my studies, I found myself in Auvergne and discovered natural wine and winemakers through photographic exhibitions and tastings... and that was the meeting.

Previously, wine represented for me a very distant world... of châteaux, of estates... of foreign, prestigious environments... far from my representations, from my world, from the field of possibilities. And in 2012, the meeting with Auvergne winegrowers (Bouju, Beauger, Renard) connected me with my history... the peasantry, family farming, the relationship with nature and the discovery of unknown, vibrant tastes and flavors, which evoke sensations, memories, which move... Shortly after, I embarked on the adventure (in 2013), with my partner, then alone from 2019. I bought 2.5ha of vines then meadows that I replant. I am located on the foothills of Livradois-Forez in the south of the Puy de Dôme department. The vines are surrounded by meadows, wastelands and fir forests and are exposed on a west, northwest slope. They benefit from a view of the Sancy, the Chaîne des Puys and the Cézalier with a regular westerly wind reminiscent of the Atlantic sea air. I have the feeling of being here everywhere I have lived: from the Arcachon basin, to the Mata Atlantica, to the Middle Atlas. Today I have 3 hectares of vines, 2.5 of which are in production. The soil is composed of granite arenas full of quartz and amethyst. The soil is sandy with an acidic tendency, very aerated, mineral and rich in metals… The grape varieties are mainly Gamay, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Syrah, Alicante. I have planted Riesling, hybrids or resistant grape varieties, and Chenin, Pinot Gris and Grenache Gris. I try to be as interventionist as possible. I have very little equipment (pruning shears, 4-beak puller, hydraulic vertical press, stoneware jar), no tractor, no equipment for treatments (not yet). This makes the work very minimalist and rudimentary and represents a risk to be taken emotionally. I bring in a service provider to work the soil with a horse, rotating every three years on average, in order to avoid the spread of grasses, brambles, broom, and with the objective of keeping companion plants (yarrow, oregano, strawberries, lamb's lettuce, horsetail, agrimony...and so many others...). In the cellar I vinify in stoneware jars, with aging around 8-9 months, the time of a pregnancy. I intervene there again as little as possible. Zero phytosanitary products. For fermentations, there is no rule, it is as the harvest progresses and the state of the harvest that the choices are made. Each vintage I call on my intuition, it is she who guides me and the harmony with the vine, the grapes... we vibrate together, we share our energy... I listen to my grapes and my instinct. Find again and again the energy, be well surrounded. Continue to be in love with love as friends tell me and to let myself be guided by the flame in me. Continue to believe in it and to transmit this way of being to the world, to the earth... the synergy of plants, man and the plant. The grape, the fermentation of juices as a support to speak of life, to live in harmony with the earth, patcha mama. To be even more connected to the vibrational systems that surpass us.
