Who are we? The story begins in 1626, when Lord François de Baradat, the rich proprietor of a vineyard in Fleury-la-Rivière in Champagne and favourite courtier of King Louis XIII, was condemned to exile by Richelieu for romantic liaisons and for provoking the Marquis de Seguier to a duel. 12 generations of vignerons have come and gone, each enriching and enhancing the family secrets as they have been passed on from father to son, creating a subtle alchemy between the latest technology and the artistry of creation. In pursuit of its ambitions, the House of Marc lavishes the utmost attention on its grapes by adhering to strict procedures: a traditional style press for maximum control over pressing, no malolactic fermentation, a minimum of three years of ageing and the production of certain wines being limited to every other year so as to maintain the quality of the juice at the highest level. For the same reason the House of Marc uses only the first juice to come off the press.

Who are we? Domaine de la Noë was founded in 1878 by the Drouard family. This family estate is in the Maine area of the Loire Valley, in the city of Château-Thebaud. 2000 was a mythical year which marked a new passage of the family torch: Jean-Paul, Laurent, Denis and Pascal, the four sons of Paul, ensure from now on the changing. Today, their age represents an obvious asset on the quality of the wines (from 2 to 80 years). The vineyard represented 183 acres on which they evolve great richness of soils: granitic and gneiss. The evolution of these techniques, combined the knowledge to make ancestral ensures our wines of the field an irreproachable quality.

Who are we? Established in 1905, the family-run wine estate Domaine des Tilleuls is constantly seeking the highest quality for its wines through modern vinification and ageing techniques. Brother and sister Jerome and Noemie, both wine enthusiasts, are following in their parents' footsteps and they actively take part in developing the production and creation of new cuvees. Throughout years and generations passion for the wine trade has been greatly contributing to preserve the know-how surrounding the production and the creation of great wines. Furthermore, Domaine des Tilleuls relies on sustainable farming to preserve the environmental heritage. While all wines benefit from the minerality stemming from the gentle rolling hills of schist and clay and silt soils of the 30-hectare vineyard, they each have their own uniqueness and character. Besides they aged on lees which gives them elegance and freshness.

Who are we? My domain is a family exploitation that has carried its appellation for several generations. My vines cover a surface of 18 hectares. To grow my vines and produce my wine I have chosen to combine tradition and technology. At any time in history, each generation has to grant its contribution to the know how of the profession. My vines are established on parcels of sand intermingled with gravel. Their orientation makes it possible to benefit from ideal sunlight. The combination of these natural elements provides an excellent maturation of the grape. I established myself in an old entirely restored Berrichonne farm. It is here, in these grounds full of history where my most important concern is to produce a great quality wine that will best reveal the nature of my domain. To achieve distinction, the cellar has the advantage of highly qualified equipment such as pneumatic pressing, thermos-regulated stainless steel vessels and air-conditioned storage.

Who are we? Attilon is an organic estate close to Arles, in Provence, on the Rhône banks, at the foot of « Camargue », a famous natural region (Western Europe’s largest river delta). Wine has been grown on this ancient property since the 17th century. Passionate winemakers, Odile and Renaud de Roux have constantly worked over many years, producing organic wines which respect great nature balances. Our vineyard has been organic since 1983, with different grape varieties: Merlot, CabernetSauvignon, Marselan, Caladoc, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and our recently new variety: Pinot Noir (for red and rosé). Our wines get the denomination IGP Méditerranée. Thanks to the strong wind (Mistral), the exceptional amount of sunshine and little rainfall, we produce fresh rosé wines, aromatic and floral white wines, and depending on the grape varieties used, either full bodied and deep or lighter and fruity red wines. Most of them are awarded.

Who are we? In the loving hands of the Van Doren family for three generations, the Domaine de l'Anglade is the only winery in the heart of Le Lavandou, the Var, France. Surrounded by pine forests and Provence cane is a field of 40 hectares, 18 of which are dedicated to vines, situated beside a glistening Mediterranean sea. The owner-grower Bernard Van Doren produces his award winning wines. The Domaine de l'Anglade's artistic skill in selecting grape varieties is matched by its ability to meet strict production conditions, allowing wines to bear the quality classification of Maures (Indication Géographique Protégée). Vines are cultivated traditionally, without herbicides or chemical fertilisers. Harvesting is done by hand in the early morning to preserve freshness and the subtle aromas of the berries. About wines : the fresh and delicious rosé Cuvée Tradition, the white wine Le Blanc, reveals a dry and cool character, and the red wine well balanced Merlot Longue Macération.

Who are we? Built in the 18th century North of the city of Orange, Château Beauchêne is located in the heart of three of the main AOC of the Southern Rhône Valley: Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages et Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Château Beauchêne is owned by the family Vergniaud-Bernard, an old family of winegrowers of the region who bought the first vines of the family estate in 1794. Its wines are divided in 2 ranges: The historical and classic range Château Beauchêne, andt he new and modern range Famille VergniaudBernard. Both of them are the result of the careful work and selection of Michel Bernard, owner and winemaker of Château Beauchêne, who likes to say: “Each vintage is a new beginning where I have to use all my experience, knowledge and personal qualitative criteria to offer the best expression of Château Beauchêne's Terroirs in a glass.”

Who are we? The philosophy is to work the vineyards to produce wines that reveal the most typical expression of terroir. The work of the vineyard and wine making are driven by several principles : the search for optimal quality, patience, humility and sharing. In-plot, no herbicide is used, the work is done via an inter-vine. To optimize the quality we practice stripping and thinnning to obtain berries of quality and perfect ripeness. The harvests are based on the evolution of aromas in berries during tastings. Each plot and each variety is vinified separately to final assembly. We do not filter our wines or just to guarantee an authentic and natural wine.
