Basically, I wasn't meant to be a winemaker at all, but when we bought the winery, it became crystal clear that I knew my love for nature and that it would be a great adventure. At the end of my oenological studies in 2004, during which I completed some internships to improve my winemaking techniques and knowledge, I made the decision to produce my own wine. I found an old abandoned winery in the village of Berlou that still had the walls and the old concrete tanks. It had the great advantage of being semi-underground, making the harvest easier to tank the grapes by gravity. The huge amount of work that represents the tanks filled with a living product that must be monitored and looked after all day like many children that you have to look after carefully, keep an eye on and take the temperature to make sure they are not sick. All this with a lot of love! Like every woman, femininity took over again and it went well! I managed to find surgical gloves to protect my hands from the black colors of the red juices and a few weeks later the vinification was over. During the time that passes, while the wine was being pumped over, I sat on a wine barrel with the sound of pumping in the background and thought about the different types of wines and cuvees that I wanted to create and came up with some ideas and names. The whole range was inspired by my childhood in Africa and all the travels I did, far away from classicism but enforced by the Languedoc image of being the new French wine Eldorado. Ten years later, the harvest is a special moment, the feeling that it is the culmination of the year and finally the excitement of discovering the new vintage. Now the adventure continues with the first plantations of white grapes that gave their first fruits in 2014 and the creation of new cuvées that give great satisfaction when your customers enjoy them, because it took a lot of energy! Today, the restructuring of the vineyard is over after four years of replanting, and we can focus on qualitative tasks and improve our working conditions, things that were not a priority before. Finally, the company is now a family because our son, Martin, after completing his business and management studies, took the same training in oenology that I did ten years ago to be ready to take over when the time comes. On top of that, we plan to build our own vineyard in a very Mediterranean style in the middle of the garrigue. Anything that makes me think that happiness today is in the vines!
