Co-exhibitor of Les Crus Bourgeois du Médoc
Domaines UIJTTEWAAL represents the family estate created by Adrien Uijttewaal, a farmer with Dutch roots.
In the 1980s, Adrien left the family dairy farm to work the grape harvest in the Médoc. He became a winemaker and built a 45-hectare estate from scratch with the ambition of creating wines in the purest tradition, renowned for their high quality—a gamble that paid off!
At the same time, he never abandoned his passion for livestock farming. The estate is still home to 200 Blonde d'Aquitaine cows, a symbol of the strong connection between the land, the vine, and the animals.
The second generation is now taking up the mantle: In 2017, Elise joined the estate after completing her studies in agricultural engineering, with the challenge of raising awareness of the estate's wines in France and internationally. Her partner, Adrien Albistur, joined her in 2021 and focuses on production.
