Now established in Rosheim, Yannick farms a total three and half hectares close to the village of Obernai, as well as getting a little négoce from a friend in the region.
Working with classic local varieties, planted over soils which vary from clay to limestone, or even blue shale : the focus is to represent the terroir and the potential of each grapes.
Respecting nature and its habitat, it has always been his representation of farming, with wilder fields by letting herbs, grass and flowers grow.

Today, he and his wife keep running the wheat farm but his son Vincent took over the 2,5 hectares of vineyards in 2003.
