Domaine Mont de Marie was founded by Thierry Forestier, who left his city job in Montpellier in 2004 to follow a more grounded path among the vines. His small estate lies in the quiet village of Souvignargues in the Gard region, where old vines grow on stony, sandy soils surrounded by garrigue and forest.
Thierry’s philosophy is simple: let the vineyard speak. He farms organically, harvests by hand, and works with minimal intervention in the cellar. Over time, his style has evolved from structured, oaky wines to lighter, more expressive bottlings inspired by his friendship with natural wine pioneers such as Éric Pfifferling of Domaine L’Anglore.
