A last visit to Chile has decided to embark on this adventure.
After two years of training, in 2004, he rents 7 hectares of AOC Coteaux du Languedoc Pic Saint Loup and Grés de Montpellier vines in Combaillaux and Saint Gély du Fesc. He buys agricultural and winemaking equipment and creates “the Chemin des Rêves”.
The name of the estate comes from a small path that runs along the vines and which had been nicknamed “Chemin des Rêves” by a resident of the village who came to walk there every day.
In 2008, he buys 7 additional hectares of vines at Saint Gély and a cellar.
In 2009, he builds a sales and tasting cellar.
