Tête-à-Tête
A wine made in conversation.
A Terret Blanc from the shores of the Étang de Thau — and the model for how we partner with clients: our Masters of Wine and the client’s team at the same table, tasting and blending together.
Partnership model · blended with our clients
The brief
Create a distinctive white wine with a client, not just for them — a wine whose style, name and identity are shaped jointly, glass by glass, around the table.
Our approach
A tête-à-tête is a private conversation between two — and that is exactly how we like to make wine with our clients. Our Masters of Wine sit down with the client’s team, taste through the options side by side and build the blend together, so the finished wine reflects their customers, their menu and their palate as much as our expertise.
The wine itself comes from vineyards within metres of those where we source our Picpoul de Pinet. One of the Languedoc’s oldest varieties, Terret has long been prized for holding onto its acidity in the heat of a Mediterranean summer — historically used to bring tension to a blend, making wines more sculpted and fluid rather than flabby.
Grown within sight of the sea, our Terret has a saline edge that adds interest to its clean citrus profile — the perfect foil to the mussels and oysters farmed below the vineyards in the Étang de Thau, the saltwater lagoon stretching from Marseillan to Sète.
The identity follows the name: two Windsor chairs facing each other, a flash of yellow and a clean white label in textured Fedrigoni Tinteretto Gesso paper, with the chairs raised in high-build UV varnish.
