The Story

I was born in the Congo to Belgian parents. My family returned to Belgium, settling in the then-rural Walloon Brabant region. We valued nature, tranquility, local produce, and good food, and were already committed to organic practices.

After studying architecture in Brussels, I pursued a career as a screenwriter before working as an agent for visual artists in Paris.

In the early 2000s, around the time my son was born, I moved to Marseille. Passionate about wine, I began a work-study program in viticulture and oenology at estates in Provence.

After travelling extensively across France to meet winemakers committed to biodynamics, I was captivated by the beauty and diversity of the Roussillon landscapes and the region's agrarian culture. I decided to settle in Cassagnes.

My fascination with the interplay between humanity, wine, and nature deepened, accompanied by a special affinity for "living wines."

I started out as a newcomer to the region, driven by the ambition to produce fine wines, showcase the local *terroirs*, and respect the environment.

Why make wine? To share in the responsibility of cultivation and to understand what that truly means.

Philosophy

The emergence of an alternative movement in viticulture and oenology during the 2000s introduced a gentler, more sustainable approach to vineyard management and winemaking.

With this in mind, I've focused my work on organic farming principles from the very beginning, while also incorporating biodynamic practices. I was also an early adopter of soil-conserving farming practices—such as sowing cover crops and choosing a vineyard site with a preserved natural environment...

I'm also pursuing a project to integrate agroforestry into my vineyards as a means of crop diversification and to significantly boost biodiversity and enhance the landscape.

The Vineyard: Vignoble Reveille

Vignoble Réveille is my estate in Cassagnes, Roussillon, at an altitude of 400 meters on gneiss soils.

I currently farm 5 hectares (expanding to 11 hectares by 2025).

I'm committed to producing natural wines from local grape varieties that reflect the unique character of the terroir within the Mediterranean climate. My goal is to create wines that are fresh, vibrant, easy-drinking, saline, and—above all—straightforward and precise.

I preserve a natural environment of *garrigue* and wild forest around my vineyards.
