Cave de Sauveterre - Vignerons de Bordeaux

Sandra and Roch Mayé, young vine growers aged 33 and 35, in St Felix de Foncaude, are married both to their work and also to each other. In fact, this young couple, who have been married for five years and are the happy parents of two children, aged 7 and 1, run an agricultural enterprise of 100 hectars, 38 hectars of vines and 40 head of Bazadais cattle.

Tell us how you got started in this enterprise?

Roch: from being small I was fascinated by tractors and farm materials and so quite naturally in 2000 I joined my parents on their farm.

Before becoming established I had worked for 5 years in dairy farming on a neighbouring farm in Gornac.
