What is your job? Winemaker
Where is your domaine? In Perpignan
Why did you choose to be involved with wine? It’s more that wine chose me; it has run in our viens for three generations with intact passion.
Describe your wines in one word. Strength and elegance.
Your best wine moment? There are too many! The latest (a week ago, in the restaurant le Grand Pré in Roaix) was a very admirable Cuvée des Célestins 1998 d’Henri Bonneau.
Your favorite dish? Here again, there are too many! Let’s say great ingredients cooked perfectly.
Your favorite film? One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Milos Formas, 1975
What does ‘terroir’ mean to you? A precious ally.
A quotation about wine? Amb pa i vi, es passa el cami: with wine and bread, one can go a long way.
What are you most proud of? To have contributed to the recognition of Roussillon wines.
Your dream? The next bottle I will open.
Your idea of happiness? My family, I love you.
An essential quality for you? Human will.
The most beautiful place on earth? A place where one feels good: it can as easily be an exotic place as a voyage around my own bedroom.
Your favorite swearword? The one that I never use: Chinese firecracker!
Your motto? It is not things are difficult that we do not do them, but rather that by not doing them they become difficult.
Any last words? The cellar is open to all; it is a site of sharing and of emotions. See you soon…
