A RISING TALENT IN THE MINERVOIS

In 2023, Lucas Berthuit launched his own estate in Pépieux, Aude, South of France after training with renowned winemaker Jean-Baptiste Sénat. With 6 hectares of Mediterranean grape varieties and a fresh vision, Lucas is bringing new energy to the Languedoc wine scene.

ROOTED IN TERROIR

Lucas’s vines thrive in the sun-drenched foothills of the Montagne Noire, where limestone-rich soils and cooler night temperatures offer perfect conditions for preserving freshness and balance. This part of the Aude, near Pépieux, combines Mediterranean sunshine with altitude-influenced finesse, allowing southern varieties like Grenache and Syrah to express both ripeness and tension. It's a terroir of contrast—wild garrigue, rocky slopes, and natural biodiversity—which shines through in every bottle.

ORGANIC COMMITMENT

Currently undergoing organic conversion, the estate reflects Lucas’s deep respect for nature. Vines are pruned simply (guyot), grapes are hand-harvested into small crates, and all vineyard work is done with care to preserve balance and life in the soil.

INFUSION STYLE

Lucas crafts his wines like infusions—focusing on freshness, purity, and varietal expression. Grapes are often directly pressed, matured in tanks, and sulfites are used minimally. The result: honest, expressive wines with a southern soul and a personal touch.
