Based in Rouvres-les-Vignes in the Aube (Cote des Bars), Jonathan comes from a family of growers who always sold their grapes. After studying in Beaune and gaining experience with some of the region’s top estates, everything changed during a blind tasting: a bottle of “Sous Poids” 2020 from Christian Boulanger and Mathieu Allante is a revelation for Jonathan. From that moment, the idea of crafting sulphur-free wines became obvious. Today, he farms two distinctive parcels:

* 0.6 ha of organically grown Pinot Noir in Bar-sur-Aube

* 0.25 ha of Chardonnay in Rouvres-les-Vignes — a true experimental playground with high-trained vines, , no trimming, no soil work, grazing animals, fruit trees…

In a region where such practices still challenge conventions, Jonathan brings a fresh, uncompromising vision. In the cellar no need to add that Jonathan is not interventionist at all : the wine is is fermented and aged in a single 350L barrel, with zero additives at all.

The result: a striking Coteaux Champenois from his Chardonnay parcel, vintage 2024. Only 1 barrel produced … 450 bottles.

Champagnes are on the horizon — first releases expected around 2028.
