Under Valentin’s stewardship, Les Pieds sur Terre fully embraced organic and biodynamic farming, guided by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Japanese farmer Masanobu Fukuoka. The estate spans approximately 6 hectares, cultivating traditional Jura grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Savagnin, Pinot Noir, Trousseau, and Poulsard, alongside newer hybrid varieties resistant to disease. Valentin employs minimal intervention in winemaking, allowing each vineyard site to express itself authentically. Over the past decade, the quality of his wines has risen dramatically, earning widespread recognition among sommeliers, collectors, and wine enthusiasts, and driving growing demand both locally and internationally. The name “Les Pieds sur Terre” also signifies a state of mind, emphasizing a grounded approach to viticulture and winemaking. In recent years, he has gained attention in national wine media for his innovative approach and natural wines, actively supported local agricultural initiatives, and published Un Autre Vin (translated as “Another Wine”), sharing his philosophy and practical insights on biodynamic viticulture to inspire fellow growers and wine enthusiasts.
