Brand

Arnaud Combier

Arnaud Combier studied viticulture and went on to work with Domaine Valette in Mâconnais, Prissé cellars, and Colbois in Chablis. His desire to make the most natural wines led him to his grandfather’s vines in 1998. For over 10 years, Arnaud made wine at the family domaine, teaching other growers how to convert to organic winemaking.  A partnership between Arnaud Combier, Francois de Nicolay of Chandon de Briailles (Savigny), and the eclectic winemaker, Jeff Carrel, the estate delivers exceptional wines from three distinct Beaujolais appellations.
