Julien Altaber grew up on a dairy farm and driving tractors in the fields of Burgundy. At the age of 16 years old he fell in love with making wine and started a range of internships in France with winemakers like Dominique Derain. It's here that he learnt about biodynamic vineyard management and has adopted a no chemical approach to his own land. In the cellar he uses a less is more approach to create his wines through native yeast, spontaneous fermentation and no added S02.
