After graduating in vine growing and marketing studies in Bordeaux, I worked in Saint Emilion were I learned the exigency of tradition in the wine making process. Later on, in Val de Loire region, I learned the art of blending grape varieties and the complexity of wine making.

I developed my marketing and operational management skills working with Thunevin in Saint Emilion, then at Château Des Laurets in Puisseguin Saint Emilion.

With Château Petit Boyer's team we created a wide range of wines. Each wine has a distinguished taste allowing to satisfy the consumer and to vary the delights of wine tasting! An efficient commercial network has been set up in France. The business of the winery gradually moved from bulk wine to bottled wines. Since 2003 the entire production is sold in bottle. The capital generated enabled us to acquire high quality soils and the vineyard increased from 12 to 33 ha in 2006.

At 33 years old, I received the "Best young winegrower, for Bordeaux Region" award from the Young Wine Talents 2006. The jury included M. Faure Brac (world's best sommelier 1991) ; M. Maurange (journalist at la Revue des vins de France) and Madame Huet (oenologist and journalist). This was a great tribute to my 10 years of hard work and my award winning wines.

When Jean Vincent joined professional meetings organized by the Rotary Club, he was fascinated by an oenologist "He sparkled my mind! I naturally opted for wine studies and then went on to the wine business".
He made his first wine in 1994, set up his company in 1997 and in 2001 he built a winery and ageing cellar of 500 sqm.
Oswaldo Hernandez, oenologist for Jacques et Francois Lurton is a consultant at Petit Boyer "the Bordeaux wines have an old fashioned image and Oswaldo, with his south America vision, helps me to open up to new techniques of vinification''.
With the estate's development, Christian Viery, disciple of Michel Rolland then joined the chateau's team. And Jean Vincent is only 30 years old!
