About us

Explore the authentic charm of Bordeaux with wines from small family-run vineyards that have been perfecting their craft for generations. By connecting you directly with these dedicated winegrowers, you get to experience their labor of love without any middlemen, benefiting from their deep, historic connection to the land. These passionate vintners treat their vines like family, cultivating their ancient plots with immense care and dedication.

Many of these exceptional wines are often overlooked, unnoticed beyond the prestigious vineyard boundaries and strained by heavy taxes that challenge these families' abilities to pass on their legacy. For more than 30 years, I have dedicated myself to discovering and showcasing these remarkable wines, often just steps away from famous classified areas.

Feel the essence of Bordeaux through our service. We will deliver these remarkable wines directly from their vineyard to your table, accompanied by detailed tasting notes, culinary pairing ideas, and short videos that bring the flavor and history of each wine to life.
