About the Winemaker
Melanie arrived in Gaillac from the Jura via Germany, Britain, Australia and America. She is devoted to revealing the pure, authentic flavours of rare and local grape varieties. Her journey from market researcher to cheesemonger to fine natural winemaker is a like a songline - not always an easy trip, but one that’s given definitive shape to the personality of her wines. Today she works 3 hectares of vines leased from Patrice Lescarret at Causse Marines in one of the lushest corners of Gaillac and recently released her fourth vintage (2022).
