When he started his solo project in 2013, he created the “Cru” series of wines, which revolve not around grape varieties, but vineyard sites.

These are the fossil strewn, rugged yet green and inviting slopes of the southern-most part of the Jura wine growing region. Here, high cliffs tumble into tight gorge-like valleys leaving combes of limestone rubble and clay on the high slopes and deep grey, blue and red marls further down. This is white wine country for the most part, where an abundance of active limestone gives drive, length and purity (though a handful of vineyards on red marl work perfectly for reds).
