As passionate about wine as my father, Roger, I took over the family estate he had founded, in 2005. As I arrived, I created the name “Les Graves du Champ des Chails” in reference to the type of soil and the name of the estate’s location. Through the years, the vineyard of 25 hectares expanded up to 40, with the great support of my mother, Josette. We quickly decided to bottle our wines at the farm in order to control quality and distribution. Today, I am proud to continue the story of my father’s estate!
