About the winemaker

After graduating high school, Constantin traveled to Chile and South Africa where he deepened his knowledge at various wineries, before returning to France to manage the family estate. Constantin works the vineyards as purely as possible, the use of pesticides is out of the question. Respect and preservation of the soil, the surrounding life and the identity of the different plots results in the purest reflection of the Avize terroir, known as one of the most prestigious Cru’s within the Côtes des Blancs.
