Antoine has clear ideas, despite his young age, and thanks to the grandfather Guy's peasant wisdom, processes his champagnes with great naturalness and thickness. The numbers are very limited, no more than 600 bottles per cuvee.
The heritage of vineyards and limited but of great quality. On average old plants that are managed with great sensitivity applying biodynamic methods. Same philosophy that applies in the cellar, spontaneous fermentation and the least possible intervention. Certainly one of those names that are establishing themselves among the "very young".
