Large owner of vineyards in Cumières. he establishes in 1760 a house of Wines of Champagne under his name in Reims, in the building located on the corner of the rue Cérès and the rue Marmousets, where his residence was located. The cellars were beneath the building in question. On the family blazon, the motto « Vive et me ama » (live and love me) was since that adopted.
