- Feet in the vineyards of the Languedoc before knowing how to walk.
- Ten years spent at the Domain of Père Caboche in Châteauneuf du Pape.
- The sublime school of life that practice is and the belonging to the world of Rugby.
- A first experience in the Côtes du Ventoux at the "Château Valcombe".
But before and above all, meetings with a few men of great talent in teaching capable to boost natural abilities...
- Jean-Pierre Boisson: for his rigor and his intellectual uprightness, his ability to step back while faced with the trials of life.
- Joseph Veyne known as "Uncle Jò" for everything that one does not learn at school, his extreme kindness and his great talent as a taster.
- Jacques Adnet: for his ability to combine his flavor and esthete approach with the respect and loyalty that he dedicates to the gotha of the winemaking world.
- Philippe Cambie: for his belonging to the very closed circle of modern Oenologists of great talent.
PHILOSOPHY
The ambition pursued at the Oustal Blanc" is to try to develop with the indigenous vines (carignan, cinsault, grenache) a variety of wines which, without denying the characteristics proper to wines from the south, remains oriented towards the fruit, the finesse, the purity and the complexity.
Even if, for personal historical reasons, Châteauneuf du Pape is still engraved in one's memory, it is the fascination of Burgundy which remains the primary driving force of the philosophical approach of the Domain.
