Clotaire Michal has wine in his veins. From his early days swirling glasses as a sommelier in top spots across France and the UK, to a five-year deep-dive under legendary winemakers like Christophe Peyrus and the iconic Thierry Allemand in the Rhône, Clotaire didn’t just learn winemaking — he lived it. In 2013, he and his wife Yuka (who officially joined the Domaine in 2018) took a leap of faith and built something rare: a soulful, old-vine haven in Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, where pink granite and 100-year-old Gamay vines tell a story you can taste in every glass. No chemicals, no shortcuts, no trendy “glouglou” vibes here.

Region: Languedoc, France

With 15 hectares of organically farmed vineyards (yes, that’s right — zero shortcuts, just sunshine, soil, and a lot of care), they bottle up the purest expression of the Languedoc spirit. This isn’t just a family-run estate — it’s a full-blown labor of love, turning out around 250,000 bottles a year, split between their Domaine line (the heart and soul) and their négociant wines (their creative, free-spirited side hustle).

What you’ll taste? Sunshine. Effort. Joy. Maybe even a little rebellion. These wines are for people who like their stories real, their land respected, and their glasses never empty.

From our friends in Nizas, with love — and a lot of really, really good wine.

Les Terres Dubien is a small, yet exceptional estate in the Médocaine peninsula, north of Bordeaux, founded in 2020. With just 3 hectares of vineyards, Benoit, the winemaker, embraces organic and biodynamic practices to highlight the unique terroir of each plot. His wines are crafted with native yeasts, gentle extractions, and minimal intervention, aging in vats and old barrels for 8 to 18 months. The harvest is manual, often with the help of friends, adding a personal touch to every bottle. Les Terres Dubien is a true expression of the land, with collaborative projects that further enrich its offerings.
