André, the youngest of his grandchildren, took the reins of the business and in the 80s, together with his wife Brigitte, they expanded the farm. The saga continues with André and his children, Anaëlle and Adrien, all with names starting with "A", in honor of family tradition.

He came with the desire to further enhance his family's terroirs and showcase the richness of the Vallée du Petit Morin. To achieve this, he immediately began vinifying all plots separately to better understand the diversity of his terroir and isolate the best plots, giving rise to the plot range and the two Coteaux Champenois, in addition to the already established traditional range.
