Françoise and her son Vincent are the second and third generation vignerons at Domaine Bedel, originally set up by Francoise's parents in Crouttes-sur-Marne. Their journey to biodyamic viticulture began in 1982 when Francoise sought the help of a homeopath for her son's health. Through this, she began to learn about hollistic health and agriculture and in the late 90's received the Biodynamic certificate from Ecovert and Biodvin for her 8.5 ha.
