About us
Grape clusters on the vines in the vineyard

An idea born in Bordeaux.

In the nineties, in Bordeaux, a few small growers began making wine in tiny spaces — sometimes literally in a garage — far from the great châteaux. They were called garagistes: a few rows of vines, very few bottles, and a manic attention to every step. Since then, vin de garage has meant author’s wine, made in small quantities by those who follow it from start to finish.

Small numbers, by choice.

Two and a half hectares of vines, in a handful of parcels between Moncalvo and Penango. A cellar with just four fermenters, the largest holding three thousand litres. A production that stays well below ten thousand bottles a year. We could make more, but we would lose what makes us who we are.

Everything passes through our hands.

We know every row and every tank. From pruning to harvest, from fermentation to bottling, every decision is ours, every week, in our hills. There is no production chain: there is a family, a trusted winemaker, and the time it takes.

Wines unlike any others.

We filter our wines very lightly, so as not to take anything away from their substance: in the bottle a small deposit may appear, the sign of a living wine. Each vintage has a face of its own, and each bottle carries the season, the vineyard and the people it was born from.

Our wines

For those looking for something rare.

Our bottles are few and you won’t find them everywhere. We choose wine bars and restaurants that share our way of thinking about wine, and people who love discovering what is not mass-produced.
