Part of a new generation of abstract Western Anjou Loire natural winemakers, Romain started as a nurseryman. His intuitive relationship to agriculture quickly caught the attention of Jérome Saurigny, who inducted Romain into one of the more obscure cliques in natural wine. Asked to summarize his first decade of experience, Romain says that he got his philosophical base from Patrick Desplats. From Patrick, he says, he learned that “everything makes wine”, which is to say that the winemaker’s job is to capture the essence of life, whether it manifests as sun-kissed Chenin, musty Grolleau, or botrytized Sauvignon Blanc. From Jean-François, Romain learned “how to work”, meaning how to elaborate wine from grapes. Importantly, it was with Jean-François that Romain picked up one of the signature aspects of his winemaking: long pressing and very long, gentle maceration of up to six months for some wines. Finally, from Jérôme, Romain learned “how not to work”, which means “not going to the vines when your heart’s not in it”, and not letting your ego stand in the way of the wine.
