The early days :
 
The early years were hard, my cellar primitive, the work backbreaking. With next to no help; I had to do almost everything : planting, pruning, harvesting, wine making, sales …..But, it was all worth it when, in 1995, Gault Millau placed my 1993 red at the top of their listings of Languedoc wines.

Moving on :
 
I was able to invest in more land, new grapes, a new cellar. As my activities expanded, so the  wine sales grew : nowadays they are enjoyed in countries as far apart as the USA and Thailand, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as in some of the best restaurants and wine merchants in France and throughout Europe. 
 
It was incredibly rewarding to receive plaudits from internationally respected wine professionals, sommeliers and journalists who gave me terrific encouragement - and still do !
Later on this site you can read what just some of them have said and find out which retailers and restaurants stock my wines.
 
I thank them all for their support. 
 
I hope you will agree with them !
