i. Biography
Winemaking at Antoine Sunier in Régnié-Durette, France, has been the fixed point of Antoine Sunier’s work since 2014. The line from Beaune into the cellar is not a straight apprenticeship story so much as a deliberate move into the trade, with time spent in another industry before the wines took over. That kind of shift leaves a mark: the work comes with patience, but also with a clear decision to make wine the center of the practice.
Coming Up
Training at Beaune gave Antoine Sunier the base vocabulary and discipline that the trade demands. Before 2012, he worked as employee at Telecommunications company, a background that sits far from the vineyard but helps explain the measured pace of his move into wine. In 2012, he took stagiaire / work stage at Domaine Lapalu in Beaujolais and, that same year, stagiaire / work stage at Chateau de Prémeaux in Burgundy. Those placements marked the point where study became cellar work, and where the rhythm of the season replaced the rhythm of another field.
