As Marius, Michel Chapoutier’s great-grandfather, always said ‘A good wine is one that beckons us to take another sip’.
These wines carry this message and reflect the warmth of the southern France terroirs in which they are rooted.

The history of La Tour Carnet merges with the history of France. Bearing the name of the squire who infallibly helped his Lord to resist French royalty at the end of the Hundred Years War, Château La Tour Carnet played a major role in the revolution of the Médoc vineyards and the quality of its wine, rewarded by the entry in the classification of Grands Crus Classés of 1855. The diversity of its terroir and the constant search for perfection make this Haut-Médoc an exceptional wine.
the grapes of Médoc de La Tour Carnet comes from a vineyard crowning the Estuary, dominantly Merlot, on a soil of Garonne gravel, in a very privileged and protected environment.
Mes 5 Pépites by Bernard Magrez is a unique micro-blend of barrels selected by world-famous Michel Rolland from Bernard Magrez’s five top chateaux: Pape-Clement Grand Cru Classé (Pessac-Leognan), La Tour Carnet Grand Cru Classé (Haut-Médoc), Les Grands Chênes (Médoc), Fombrauge Grand Cru Classé and Magrez Fombrauge Grand Cru Classé (Saint-Émilion).

“My ambition for the exceptional…crafted from the blend of five jewels of our wine heritage – Château Pape Clément, La Tour Carnet, Fombrauge, Les Grands Chênes, and Magrez Fombrauge – it reflects the perfect union of five unique terroirs, where each vineyard contributes its own singularity.” – Bernard Magrez
In the Egrots, a small hamlet in the commune of Sury-en-Vaux, 4 kilometers from Sancerre, Michel and Laurent Thomas operate a family estate comprising 17 hectares of vineyards, on 3 different types of terroirs: limestone and stony soil giving fine and fruity wines; clay and shellfish soils giving a wine with intense aromas of almonds and citrus; and sedimentary rock very hard siliceous, giving smoked aromas.
The production is harvested, vinified and bottled by them at the property.
Sixth generation of winegrowers, Nicolas Gaudry and his wife Sandy have been exploiting since 2003, 23 hectares of very fragmented plots between the villages of Boisgibault and Les Loges in the Nièvre. This distribution in the Pouilly vineyard offers possibilities for complex blends of all types of terroirs for a typical Pouilly-Fumé wine.
This elegant Pouilly-Fumé shows volume and consistency. Crispy and fresh wine with nice balance between fruity and minerality.

In the beautiful country of Véron, cradled between the Loire and the Vienne, the Olga Raffault estate has been transmitting its know-how in the production of its Chinon wines for five generations. Olga Raffault has devoted her whole life to these landscapes that she loved so much and has always been able to share her love of wine.
Les Barnabés are shaped by the alluvium of the Loire and the gravel of the Vienne in the town of Savigny-en-Véron. This cuvée blooms from its earliest youth between 14 and 16°C and can be enjoyed with white and roast meats.
Tied to the Seigneuries of Lafite and Mouton (future First Classified Growths belonging to two different branches of the Rothschild family), Château Clerc Milon derives its name from its historic owners, the Clerc family, who acquired it when it was sold as a national asset after the French Revolution.
Living testimony to the considerable improvements in quality achieved at the property since the arrival of Baron Philippe and his descendants, Château Clerc Milon now has a second wine. Pastourelle de Clerc Milon has joined the dance and already accomplished its first very confident steps in the company of fine Pauillac wines. Its name comes from a traditional dance, the pastourelle, which evokes a knight’s romantic encounter with a shepherdess: the name echoes the pair of dancers that adorn the label of the Grand Vin. Made of gold, enamel and pearls, this precious miniature from the Museum of Wine in Art at Château Mouton Rothschild belonged to Catherine II, the empress of Russia, and is inspired by characters of the Commedia dell’Arte. Baroness Philippine de Rothschild chose it as the Clerc Milon emblem because of her love of the theatre.
2012 was a year of contrasts. The conditions of the vintage favoured superb expression of the Merlot, here mostly planted on clay-limestone parcels.

The grapes making up the blend of this cuvée come from young vines in the Tour Pibran and Château Pichon Baron vineyard, with clay-limestone and gravelly soil. These grapes are harvested, vinified and aged by the Château Pichon Baron team. They produce this Pauillac with the same standards of quality as their other wines in order to highlight this appellation.
The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

Château Figeac is one of the leading St. Emilion estates and its wine, with its high Cabernet content, has often been described as the most Médoc-like in Saint-Émilion. It is located in the north-west of the appellation with its vineyards adjoining those of Cheval Blanc. Its 40 hectares of vineyards (unusually for the right bank there is only 30% Merlot in the vineyard with 35% Cabernet Franc and – rare on the right bank – 35% Cabernet Sauvignon) lie on a deep, Médoc-like gravel topsoil (‘Graves’) over a flinty, iron-rich subsoil.
Since 2010 Figeac has been managed by Comte Eric d’Aramon and his wife Laure and there has been some serious improvements here recently under winemaker Frédéric Faye. Michel Rolland has been brought in to consult – but not to change the unique Figeac style. As a consequence, the wines produced now seem a little riper and more polished than before but are still fine, pure and classic.
Produced to the same high standards as the Grand Vin, Petit-Figeac is Château Figeac’s second wine. Under the leadership of Thierry Manoncourt, Château Figeac has been producing a Second Wine since 1945. Since the 2012 vintage, it has taken the name of a historic plot of land, “Petit-Figeac” located in the heart of the estate.
2021 is the first vintage vinified in the estate’s new cellar.
