I spent 20 years in geophysics admiring the world and its wonders while letting myself be carried away by its immediate pleasures. Then contemplation replaced the desire to do, to register in a longer duration. To be the companion of this nature, with the greatest respect and the necessary humility. After two years of training in organic viticulture alongside Jacky and Véronique Ripoche from the Domaine des Noades, in October 2016 I had the chance to take over part of Philippe Gourdon's vines, one of the forerunners of biodynamic viticulture in the Saumur region. . 2017 is my first harvest The estate covers 3.8 ha spread over 5 plots around the village of Puy Notre Dame, the highest point in the Saumurois. Since 2009, Saumur Puy Notre Dame has benefited from an appellation for its red wines because of its capacity to produce great wines for aging. The vines are managed according to the principles of Biodynamics.
