About the winery: The Negociant Eleveur Maison Hecht & Bannier, specializing in red wines from the South of France, came to light in 2002. Their goal is to have their wines become the reference for quality in the region with a unique range of appellation wines. They are convinced that from Roussillon to Provence, the most talented vineyard in France, has not yet received the international recognition that it deserves: their wines allow wine-lovers to discover the extraordinary quality and wealth of the region.

To conserve the typical Mediterranean strength in the wines while preserving balance and crispness, is their mantra for all the appellations they produce. The cornerstone of the profession is their extensive knowledge of vineyards and cellars. Every year they visit hundreds of producers to select only the best wines. Often, their wines come from vineyards in the cooler foothills where it isn’t rare to see hundred-year-old vines. Once the long selection process has come to an end, they organize tastings to create the blends and decide on their elevage options.
