Champagne
A 14ha Family Estate, wine growing since 1687. Based in Oeuilly, inside of La Vallée de la Marne, this Domaine has been part of the expansion of Champagne. Today the Three last Generations lead the Domaine: Mélanie, Benoît and Jean-Mary their father, whose experience has made of him a leader in all that matters concerning respect for, and the protection of, the environment. We are very proud to represent their long History and to spread their work with their extremely precise wines!
In The heart of Trepail, are settled the 3ha farmed Organically and Biodynamically by David Léclapart. A strong believer on this type of viticulture that has been doing so since 1996 when he took over. His Wines are delicate and subtile as himself. Such a kind, generous and precise winemaker, elaborating in his small Family Estate extremely vibrant wines! I thank David, Carole and their Sons to be so supportive and we are delighted to bring soon to Portugal, a few of his Champagnes and also some of his new adventure in the south of Spain... More to come soon!
Champagne Emmanuel Brochet
Only 2,5 ha represent Emmanuel's Vineyard. He was lucky to take over this Parcel of the Mont Benoit, planted with the 3 main Varieties by his father. Since 1998 he slowly started to age his first few bottles. Today, 20 years have gone along, and Emmanuel is making some of the most elegant organic wines in this side of the South of Reims. An extremely small production (7000-8000 bottles) so it is such a Joy to be able to bring a few cases to Portugal!

Athénaïs de Béru, a brilliant and endearing winemaker. One of a kind, Athénaïs, against all odds chose to drop her initial carrer, move back to her family Estate. Learned and took over the Vineyards starting from scratch the Winemaking of this beautiful Terroirs of Chablis planted by her father around 1987.

François Rousset-Martin
François, got back in 2007 to the family roots where his great grand father had the family vineyard. For long sold to the near Co-opeartive, François has started slowly to take over the vineyard work first and certify his full work organically and do some parcel micro-cuvées. In the heart of Nevy sur Seille, a small town in the Vallée des Reculées, his family estate is installed very close to Château Chalon. Today François has been making clearly outstanding oxidative wines with a clear image of moderate and long oxydations that convey as for Chardonnay or Savagnin a beautiful structure after more than 6 years in barrels "sous voile" in his great Grand father's cellar. His master of this aging but also his very precise stil non oxidatives wines have made me a very big follower of his vision of Jura Wines. It is a huge joy to be able to start with him as my first Jura partner. Like after all this years working together i strongly believe on his work and his intention of making this outstanding wines!
Alsace
Domaine Valentin Zusslin
Hungary
Italy
Several generations installed since 1899 in Abruzzo. Between the Adriatic and the Appenine Mountains since 1964 Emidio Pepe decided to stop the volume sale of grapes and start his own company. Besides a strong vision, no oak in the winery, only cement glass lined vats, organic and biodynamic Viticulture practices, he decided to keep wine to age in bottle on the best vintages to accompany the aging bottle and release them with more time. A true pioneer in his region and maybe one of the strongest visionaries around. Today with a Worldwide reputation as Mr. Montepulciano, he is happily accompanied by his 2 daughters and his granddaughter to take care of the Azienda. Deep happiness and Joy to be able to work and represent Emidio Pepe's wines in Portugal since 2019!
