I'm originally from the French Caribbean island of Martinique. l was introduced to wine making through a class at San Francisco's Ruby Wine. Not long after, I got to pick some grapes and make a little Chardonnay. That experience compelled me to change careers and spend a year working with Brent Mayeaux before moving with my family to Saumur to start my own project.

Production happens in my garage winery on an island in the middle of the Loire river. Most wines are made with purchased Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc from local growers who farm organically at the very least. I also have my own 0.3 hectare parcel of Cabernet Franc in Varennes-sur-Loire.

Only 2,000 to 3,000 bottles are made each year. The small production allows me to exercise a great deal of care while also trying to make wine as fearlessly as possible.
