Wine Masters

Known as the wine of the popes, but it was Robert Parker who put the entire southern Rhône valley on the wine map at the end of the last century. Today many people see Beaucastel of the family Perrin as the benchmark of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Brilliant winemaker Jacques Perrin died at a very young age, so suddenly the two Perrin brothers had to take over their father's winery.

Being called the Pope, the King and the Godfather of the Beaujolais, Georges Duboeuf is inextricably linked to this region. He introduced the celebration of the new Gamay harvest, the Beaujolais Nouveau, and made it a worldwide famous festivity. Thanks to this popularity, also Beaujolais Cru's like Fleurie, Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent finally get the attention they deserve.

Historically, the base wine of Champagne was almost undrinkable. Champagne needed bubbles and dosage to produce an amazing wine. Pierre Péters was one of the first Champagne Growers, after being exploited by the big brands. Grower Champagne brought the wine lover back to the region.

When Lucien Peyraud received a pre-phylloxera bottle of Bandol from his father-in-law on his wedding with Lucie Tempier, this inspired him to re-start the production Bandol with Mourvèdre as the dominant grape. Lucien and Lulu became the ambassadors of the Bandol appellation. Two generations later there is no family successor for the estate, but there is Daniel Ravier.
