At Château des Bachelards, I broke the codes of the region and defined a style from the my first vintage bearing in mind that biodynamic farming is key, as well as my vision and my ambition for my terroir. I chose this terroir on my own, one January morning under the cold winter, I did not inherit it, my parents were not winegrowers, it is my choice and it changes a lot of things. I had to fight to be able to live off my passion. Cultivating your vineyard and making your own wine is something intimate. Wine is an invitation to inspiration, to dream, to travel because my wine is the expression of a unique place. There is a spiritual dimension between Man and Earth that makes his interpretation and style unique. In this I join the daily work of the Benedictine monks who founded Bachelards and produced their wine there for eight centuries.
This is my interpretation of each vintage of the place called Les Bachelards, which is a unique place. This is also what makes my job so fabulous. The peculiarity of great wines is that they are unlike any other and can age quietly for 20 years. The palate of my wines is velvety, the tannins are silky and the length interminable. I thank Mother Nature for these first seven vintages and we are redoubling our efforts in the quest to develop our grand vins. Indeed, making a good wine is easy, making a grand vin is constant attention and the result of renewed intuitions, a vision of the vintage, an ambition for my land, a intimate relationship with my terroir.
