Story
Not only the first modern urban winery in Paris, but these young guys have planted the first new vineyards on Île-de-France since the 19th century: in 2017, a total of ten hectares of a mixture of Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc were planted near Versailles. Last year they began the process for full organic certification.
Till those vines bear fruit, with the first havest taking place this year, Adrien Pélissié, Julien Bengué and Julien Brustis source grapes from the Languedoc-Roussillon, Provence, the Rhône, Bordeaux, Loire and Corsica, then make the wines in their small urban winery in Montreuil. It’s an inspirational and ambitious tale, building on the little-known but extensive history of winemaking in Paris and crafting wines that are not just facsimiles of other regions, but truly unique blends of grapes and origins. All the while ushering in a new era for Parisian wine.
