His wines showcase clarity, balance, and a strong sense of place across a wide range of Burgundian appellations.

Viticulture

Practicing organic and biodynamic-inspired reasoned viticulture, avoiding the use of chemical herbicides and utilises lunar calendar guidance, light ploughing, vine yield regulation through selective no-hedging, and 100% hand-harvesting into small 8 kg crates as his approach in the vineyard.
