The fourth generation Nicaise estate has taken a qualitative turn for the better in recent years. The new generation of Laure Nicaise-Préaux and her husband, then 25 year old Clement Préaux, began working at the domain in 2007. Clement apprenticed with the great Anselme Selosse before then, and the young couple has implemented a progressive approach including lower dosage and gaining certification for sustainability.
