Maison Advinam

Before settling in Saint-Morillon, Bordeaux, in 2019, Anne Buiatti and her husband Grégoire tended a stunning Syrah vineyard on shale soils, which they managed to acquire before their move. Today, they cultivate 2 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Bordeaux alongside their 2 hectares of Syrah in Roussillon. Their approach is deeply rooted in minimal intervention and a steadfast commitment to organic and biodynamic principles. Certified by Demeter, they nourish the soils with composts, herbal teas, and silica, fostering biodiversity with grazing ewes, beehives, orchards, and vegetable gardens.

All grapes are hand-harvested and vinified back in Bordeaux. Anne’s philosophy is to guide the wines naturally—fermenting with wild yeasts, avoiding fining or filtration, and forgoing sulphur—while maintaining precision and consistency.

Allumée undergoes a 60-day maceration in clay amphorae before aging for four months in Austrian oak.

Bouffonne and Donna age for 12 months in a mix of French oak and 750L amphorae, with Donna resting an additional three years in bottle before release.
