fter ten wonderful years of caring work with disabled people alongside the illustrious Patrick Baudouin, he was itching for a vineyard of his own.

Starting out isn’t easy when you don’t have a cellar or kit, and finding land is close to impossible. Luckily, there are friends. Sébastien is the sort to stick his neck out and dare to dream, and he now gets to use part of the cellar of Didier Chaffardon, an inspiration to anyone chasing unmanipulated wines at their magical best. So, exciting prospects. He’s persistent, knows exactly what he wants, and has the finer instincts of a natural talent. Real sympathy for natural farming, and a drive to make pure wines. He already has three hectares to his name, including 80 ares of Gamay planted in 1936, a year he’s rather fond of. For him it stands for unspoilt freedom, which is pretty much how he feels right now.
