Initially selling grapes to the local cooperative, Rémi honed his craft under the guidance of Jean Foillard, a pioneer of natural Beaujolais. By 2010, he began bottling under his own label. Their estate now enjoys acclaim in Paris’s natural‑wine circles and beyond, noted for pure, site‑driven Gamay renaissance.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eRémi and Laurence manage vineyard and cellar practices together. Rémi employs indigenous yeasts, whole‑cluster carbonic maceration, and minimal sulfur (0–2 mg\/L). No temperature control is used—he crushes grapes only as needed, prioritizing gentle handling and reliance on natural yeast dynamics. This approach fosters transparency of terroir across each cuvée.
