Antoine Dürrbach, a rising star of the French vineyard, has quickly demonstrated the full extent of his talent through gracious and deep wines that he vinifies according to his taste. Trained by Jean-Louis Chave and Laurent Vaillé, Antoine then joined the family vineyard in the Alpilles terroir, near Saint-Rémy de Provence.
At the same time, he developed a small consulting business with prestigious estates and now produces his own blends, giving free rein to his creativity without compromising on quality. He makes it a point of honor to chisel out wines of character with a southern accent in an original approach that always guarantees great freshness.
