Guillaume Marteaux started his own cellar from scratch : he bought a cement mixer on the French craigslist, and it took him7 years to build his winery. True man of the land, he started with less than one hectare that he purchased from his father, and has grown it to 8.5 hectares today, all located in Boneil, in the Vallee de la Marne. His estate is certified organic since 2022 and farmed biodynamically since 2018. He's confident in the power of the plants for the health of his vineyard.
