"Pretty nose of custard, apples, lemon curd, cream pastries and shortbread. Medium-to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and creamybubbles. Focused and structured, with a dry, mineral finish. Drink now."
Er ist Bio-Winzer, Champagner-Hersteller und Visionär. Seine Bio-Trauben verkauft er nicht an die grossen ChampagnerHäuser, sondern verarbeitet sie selber im eigenen Keller. Er stellt seine eigenen Grundweine her, lässt sie teilweise in Barriques heranreifen, komponiert seine Cuvées eigenhändig und lässt sie anschliessend während vieler Jahre langsam heranreifen. Seine Winzer-Champagner sind fantastisch klar, präzis, nobel und doch kraftvoll und konzentriert
