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.
