La Clef des Terroirs, my first documentary, was born in 2011, inspired by my steps in the vineyards of Burgundy and my quest to learn the winemaker's trade. This film is an invitation to discover exceptional artisans: the Bret Brothers, the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Thibault Liger-Belair or Thierry Germain. Through their looks and gestures, it reveals the soul of wine, the one born from a deep respect for the land and an uncompromising passion.
Between passion and poetry, this documentary film opens like a living book, retracing the lives of winemakers who have made the courageous and humble choice to walk in step with nature. Through their gestures, their lands, and their silences, a deep connection with the living is drawn, a quest for harmony between man and the land that welcomes him.

Biodynamics is the art of looking at the earth as a large living organism, where each element – plants, animals, soils – dances in harmony with nature. It is a vision where man does not dominate but accompanies, where agriculture becomes a symphony. The world of wine, sensitive to this quest for balance, very early perceived the greatness of this approach.
La Clef des Terroirs tells this adventure. It follows winegrowers driven by a deep passion, that of preserving the soul of their lands to better transmit it. In their actions, a promise: to restore the terroir to its full nobility and to offer future generations a land worthy of being loved.
