Clément is the son of winegrowers, vines and wine, so he has always known that. After studying viti-oeno, as well as a stint at the Chapoutier houses and at Château Margaux, he decided in 2019, with the help of his sister Caroline, to take over the family estate.
After a more than successful first 2019 vintage, he recovered a few hectares in the Saint-Bris and Côtes d'Auxerre appellations, but also in Courgis in the AOC Chablis, and he will thus become a neighbor of Thomas Pico (Domaine Pattes Loup) as well as from the De Moor estate then selects the most qualitative plots, but remains on an estate on a human scale.
