From now on the renowned winemaker and consultant Kyriakos Kynigopoulos from Burgundy, and his right hand, Pierre Fonteneau, will set new accents at La Grange.
Kyriakos Kynigopoulos is one of the most known wine people in France. The magazine Terre des Vins declared him winemaker of the year.
Our long-standing consultant Jean Natoli will continue to support us. He will see to the daily needs at La Grange, so to say.
Kyriakos is well-connected in the international wine-world. He advises high-ranking wineries in Burgundy, Rhône and Oregon. His most famous client is the spanish winery Vega Sicilia. For Vega Sicilia he created the outstanding white wine Oremus in Hungary.
Kyriakos and Pierre visited La Grange last August. They had a look around the vineyards and got a first overview of the quality of our wines during a tasting-marathon.
The first improvements he suggested have already been implemented during the last harvest and are showing first promising results.
Our winemaker Thomas Raynaud thinks he can see a considerable improvement in quality and clarity.
It is our goal to give our wines an attractive freshness. We want to encourage the characteristic of our vineyards and the different varieties to shine through and we want to strengthen our different ranges.
