Where are you from ? I have always been from Fuissé, in Petites Bruyères, and I live there now. I always stayed around. I studied at the Lycée de Davayé, then I lived a little in Serrières, in Mâcon, in Varennes, in short, in a restricted area. This hasn't stopped me from traveling, as a tourist, but to live well in your environment, you have to know it. Why this job? What is your background ? Basically I didn't want to do that. My father and my grandfather were winegrowers, and I initially wanted to do sport, tennis, but also drawing, the fine arts. In college you have to make a choice when you don't yet really know what you want to do. Drawing is either you have luck and you succeed, or you struggle. Rationally, I turned to the vineyard. Not necessarily out of love at first, but afterward it allowed me to practice my art differently and above all to be free in my movements. My grandfather died when I was 10 years old, my father died in 2010. When I arrived at the estate in 2000, I wanted to do lots of things, change everything, but my family told me no. So I worked, I learned, I observed. From 2006 I gradually took over the reins in a fairly chaotic period. I decided at that moment to change a lot of things: I took as much information as possible and I came to put the first scratches in the ground. I did stupid things, like everyone else, and I learned and I was patient. These practices were difficult to put in place because my mother, then a partner, thought she would have to go back to the drawing board. Among my experiences: music in the vatage, winemaking in amphorae, opening of a gîte and a restaurant within the estate as well as the activity "La Vadrouille Bleue", tasting ride on a moped. I like to experiment with lots of things and find out more about a subject. Why here? The deed of sale of Domaine de Fuissé to my family is from 1910. Before the place was not called “Petites Bruyères”, but “La petite maison dans la prairie”. It's our family estate, my mother still lives there, and I in a house right next door. Your favorite place on the Grand Site? The heights of Cenves, for calm, the view of the bocage and forests. Your best memory on the Grand Site? Motorcycle rides; with each passage I have time to appreciate the exceptional views that we are lucky to have.
