I hate this work,” she replies forcefully. “Today I say. it is the best work in my life. I love working in the vineyard. I love understanding the soil and the terroirs.” At that time, their vineyards had been rented out for two generations until 2003 when Cecile decided to throw herself into winemaking and tend the vines her
