I am a Champagne winegrower, blessed with what I believe to be the most exquisiteprofession on Earth, one I stumbled into as a child. My son William and daughterCaroline represent the sixth generation of our lineage, and it fills me with immensepride to witness them carry on our legacy.When I was 12, during the summer holidays, I used to go out with my father on hishigh-clearance tractor. I'd ride on the ploughs while he worked the soil, and I'd havethe joy of driving the tractor along the vineyard paths.Crafting new cuvées, nurturing the vines, witnessing the evolution and refinement ofthe wines, meticulously adjusting the dosage, orchestrating the blends, and warmlywelcoming customers - every aspect of this journey has captivated me endlessly.For me, the path of a winemaker was never a question; it was an innate calling. Mypassion for this craft will endure within me until my very last breath.
