Vineyard manager, Château Lynch-Bages
In charge of harvesting, the vineyard’s team leader Franck Debrais possesses over 20 years of experience and has been vineyard manager of the Lynch-Bages 112 hectares since 2008. It is he who ensures that environmental quality regulations are met.
A demanding post, as it involves contending with the weather, a balance between environment and terroir that must be respected, and some technical challenges. That said, for him, the great quality of the wines resides in – over and above technical advances – the team’s ability to push itself and surpass itself with every harvest… values that have served him well during his ten years as a volunteer fireman.
