After collaborating with winemakers like Pierre-Henri Rougeot and Jean-Yves Devevey, she launched a quality micro-negotiation business before taking over family vineyards in 2023. Marthe Henry adopts a minimalist approach in the cellar, allowing her wines to flourish with extended aging in oak barrels, without racking or sulfur. Her wines are vinified with some whole clusters, offering a beautiful expression of purity and elegance.
