L'Epicurieux
Growing up around the vineyards of SW France in 2006 Sébastien set off to work on offshore oilrigs. It was in 2011, when back in France, that he met and fell for Charlotte Congretel whose family-owned vines in Régnie. They soon had a son and returning for good to dry land Sébastien committed to their 2.5-hectare project L'Epicurieux, in 2015. 2016 saw them complete their first whole vintage. Training under the much-revered Julien Sunier, he subsequently acquired parcels in Morgon (next to Guy Breton's old vines) and Régnie. Farming is organic, fermentation is on wild yeasts and now winemaking takes place without the addition of any sulphur. Whilst the Domaine is yet young Sébastien is moving towards biodynamic certification and has recently acquired the new French natural wine certification "Vin Methode Nature". All wines are vinified the same way to really express the difference in the soils.
