Domaine Capmartin is a family-run estate located in Maumusson-Laguian, at the heart of the Pyrenean foothills in the Gers, within the AOC Madiran, AOC Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, and IGP Côtes de Gascogne appellations.
Simon Capmartin, a passionate and committed winemaker, introduced biodynamic viticulture in 2015 — a farming philosophy that respects natural balance and the living ecosystem. The vineyard is certified Organic and Biodynamic.
It spreads across a mosaic of clay-limestone, gravelly, and siliceous soils, where thrive Tannat, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon for the reds, and Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, and Colombard for the whites — as well as Viognier, Chardonnay, and Syrah, used by Simon to craft more original cuvées.
Here, every wine is born from precision, patience, and a deep listening to nature — an ongoing quest for balance that gives life to wines both sincere and expressive, deeply rooted in their Gascon terroir.
Champagne JM Sélèque is a family-run estate located in Pierry, at the heart of the Coteaux Sud d’Épernay. Founded in 1969 by Henri Sélèque, it is now managed by his grandson, Jean-Marc Sélèque.
Since 2008, Jean-Marc — a firm advocate of viticulture that respects natural balance — has guided the estate toward a pursuit of authenticity and the true expression of its terroirs. Here, the wines mature in harmony with a slow, deliberate rhythm — a gentle composition that honors the fruit, the life, and the place — all in the quest for balance.
The vineyard covers around 10 hectares, divided into 48 parcels across seven villages. The main grape varieties are Chardonnay (50%), Meunier (40%), and Pinot Noir (10%), grown on clay, limestone, and siliceous soils.
In the heart of Anjou Noir, on the terroirs of Chaume, Quarts-de-Chaume, and Savennières, Château de Plaisance is a truly unique place.
Taken over in 2019 by Vanessa Cherruau, the estate—certified organic since 1995 and biodynamic since 2008—has been infused with a new energy. The ambition: to craft honest, vibrant wines that express the purity of Anjou’s great terroirs and the spirit of each vintage.
Chenin Blanc, which represents 80% of the vineyard, thrives on schist, spilite, sandstone, and puddingstone. Mostly vinified as dry wines, the sweet wines are produced only in exceptional years. A few plots of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon also find harmony on spilite soils, much to our delight.
Every gesture in the vineyard is guided by respect for life: soil preservation, careful pruning, meticulous debudding, manual harvesting, and long aging in large casks, barrels, and amphorae.
Here, nature is the first line of protection, the strength of the team is a driving force, and constant self-questioning is the key to striving for excellence. Everything converges toward a single horizon: creating wines capable of conveying genuine emotion.
Le Clos de l’Écotard, a 15-hectare estate nestled in the commune of Courchamps within the Saumur AOC, is today run by Thibaud Chevré, supported by his right-hand man, Guillaume. The founder, Michel Chevré, continues to play an active role at the estate as oenologist.
The estate’s philosophy is to express the purest reflection of its terroir while respecting biodiversity. It is certified Organic and is moving toward Biodynamic farming, notably through horse plowing on certain plots and the planting of fruit trees among the vines.
These commitments yield wines of remarkable mineral precision, tension, and authenticity, true to their precious clay-limestone soils.
Surrounded by meadows, woods, and cereal fields, the 12 hectares of vineyards on the Lihour family farm are cultivated organically in the commune of Monein.
Between earning his BTS in viticulture and oenology and taking over the estate in 2014, Franck Lihour honed his craft through harvests and cellar work in Corsica, Burgundy, Champagne, Napa Valley, and South Africa.
Working with endemic grape varieties — Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng, Petit Courbu, and Camaralet — he relies on indigenous yeasts, minimal sulfur use, and aging in demi-muids, barrels, “cigars,” large oak vats, and sandstone eggs to produce wines that are both distinctive and deeply rooted in their terroir.
Olivier POUCHOULOU founded Domaine Etxondoa in 2020 after studying oenology and gaining experience in Côte-Rôtie. The 7-hectare vineyard is organically farmed on steep slopes of Red Sandstone (gradients over 50%).
The local grape varieties — Mansengs, Petit Courbu, Tannat, and Cabernet Franc — express with great finesse the oceanic freshness of the mountainous terroir of Irouléguy.
Olivier Klein and his partner Juliette, the third generation of winegrowers at La Réméjeanne, now manage the estate together — from the vineyard to the cellar.
Like his father Rémy, Olivier embraces the values of true artisan vignerons: authenticity, respect for the soil and all living things, and a deep love of taste.
Their 25 hectares of vines lie on the right bank of the southern Rhône Valley, on sandy and limestone hills surrounded by woodland. The estate has been certified organic since 2010, encouraging biodiversity and allowing the full expression of this unique and delicate terroir of La Réméjeanne.
Their work is guided by a constant pursuit of finesse, elegance, and freshness — so that each wine may ever more faithfully reflect the essential character of their terroir.
Luc Prieur (11th generation) continues the family legacy at Domaine Paul Prieur in Sancerre.
The estate is located at the top of the village of Verdigny, at the foot of the Monts Damnés hill.
After studying viticulture and oenology in Beaune, and gaining experience both in France and abroad, Luc returned to the family estate in 2012.
Now 35 years old, he is producing his 14th vintage this year.
The wines are certified organic, require significant manual labor, contain very little sulfur, are fermented with indigenous yeasts, and are unfiltered.
Like a kitchen brigade, Luc enjoys surrounding himself with a talented and committed team.
At present, major cellar renovations are underway to expand the use of large wooden vessels and extend the ageing process.
In the vineyard, the team is experimenting with and developing a high trellising system, a first in the region.
In Latin, Reniteo means “to shine again,” a beautiful poetic image expressing the idea of “rebirth.”
This evocative name reflects the reconversion of its founder, David Michelis, who, after an initial career in the art world, chose to root his project in the beautiful granitic terroirs of Ambierle — a historic center of local viticulture with a rich winegrowing heritage.
The adventure began in 2021, following a period spent working in the cellar of Yves Cuilleron, renowned producer in the prestigious appellations of the Northern Rhône.
Today, David, joined by his partner Clotilde, cultivates with great care 9 hectares of Gamay Saint-Romain and Chardonnay. Other varieties, such as Serine and Chenin, are now being planted and will soon offer a new perspective on one of the coolest terroirs of the appellation.
In 2022, David won first prize in the Vigneron et Terroirs d’Avenir competition, organized by the ADVINI group and the Montpellier SupAgro Foundation — a distinction that highlights both the environmental commitment of the estate and the outstanding quality of its viticultural project.
Winegrowers in Marsannay, the first village of the Côte de Nuits, we cultivate around twenty hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Aligoté.
Aligoté, a grape variety long overlooked, is now taking its well-deserved revenge. With eight Aligoté wines among the 26 cuvées in our range, it holds a prominent place in our estate.
More broadly, we practice a natural, minimal-intervention viticulture: no sulfur, no additives, a large proportion of whole-cluster fermentation, and extended ageing—all with the goal of producing wines with a strong sense of identity and place.
