Thomas Besson's career path, more than his oenology studies, was shaped by meeting natural wine personalities: Daniel Sage and Jordi Torgue in the Northern Rhône (Ardèche), with whom he collaborated, then Manuel Duveau, who attracted him to Auvergne. While vinifying vintages from purchased grapes since 2021, he is investing in the planting of 1 ha of vines in Rertournac in Haute-Loire in 2022, in production from 2025. His Permapinard project also includes a tenancy of 1.5 ha of old Gamay vines in Beaujolais. Various locations but a single project, with an unwavering conviction, that of totally natural wines.
