He took over the family estate in 2008 and has converted to fully Biodynamic farming. He makes very small quantities of this about 3,500 bottles worldwide and owns a total of 2.8-odd hectares. He is also fortunate to have access to the monopole Clos des Maladries in Avize with extremely limited bottling.
