Wine is a story of meeting, dream and passion.
On my web site, I hope I will give you a piece of dream, passion before a meeting…
My parents taught me the way to farm, with all the love vineyards need.
They got married in Montagne Saint Emilion, and baptized me in Fronsac.
I spent my 20 first years in Margaux. All my life in vineyards, I decided to work in farming!!!
I have got my oenologist diploma in the famous university of Bordeaux.
My first vintage was in 1997 in Pomerol.
In 1998, a nice meeting gave me the opportunity to make one of my dreams come true : create my own wine.
I left Pomerol to work as a technical manager for Corinne and Hubert de Boüard to make one of famous wine of Lalande de Pomerol : La fleur de Boüard.
In 2005, Corinne and Hubert gave me the opportunity to buy a piece of dream. A small parcel in Montagne Saint Emilion.
It is a cute parcel in the middle of houses, in the Bertineau area. So, why not to call this vineyard Clos Bertineau ?
My wife shows me that the 2 first letters were the same as our kids´: Clément and Benjamin.
For me no more doubt, the wine will be called Clos Bertineau.
