Charles is an obsessional winegrower who takes his winemaking to excessive extremes out of his passion for wine.
He learnt his wine making around the world starting in the Napa Valley then to Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa before finally arriving in France.
This passionate, perfectionist pioneer has introduced innovations to the Bergerac wine region which are now adopted by many other vignerons and have contributed to the quality revolution of Bergerac wines, such as the use of inert gases to protect the wines from oxidation, mechanical leaf plucking, integral grassing down of the vines, a system of very high density plantations of vines at 8000 vines per hectare .The latest development is the fermentation of the Merlot grape varierty in small swimming pools.
