After studying agronomy, he founded Domaine Fredavelle in 1999 to vinify that fruit himself, naming the estate for the surrounding countryside. Olivia Menigoz, a fellow oenologist, joined as his partner in 2014, and together they've since replanted and expanded the vineyard to 25 hectares, converting the entire estate to organic farming in 2019.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Ravel and Olivia Menigoz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic (FR-BIO-01)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45% Grenache, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTERROIR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence AOP.
