Henri displays as much respect, love and dedication to the land he farms as any grower we have met. He farms 10.5 hectares of Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay dotted around the village of Boudes in Auvergne where he arrived in 2021.

Henri speaks with intensity and conviction about his beautiful vineyards and the decision to vinify each plot and grape variety separately is a colossal task he has taken on to fully immerse himself in his terrior.

Henri works very distinct terroirs divided between several plots. The vineyards on the steep hill sides surrounding the village some 500 metres above sea level, have more typical volcanic Auvergne terroir with basalt and a unique mix of blue, red and white marls. In the valley clay rich soils dominate rich in iron oxide and quartz. Henri's work in the vines is excellent, he farms organically, by hand and with real integrity. The vinification is done without intervention, in native yeasts, nothing is fined or filtered. Only old barrels are used, the wines are mostly without added So2 but if necessary, he reserves the right to use some.

Henri produces nourishing wines built on a backbone of pristine fruit and possess a remarkable sense of place.
