The "Cuvées Exclusives" Petites Caves, are unique wines, specifically elaborated with our friendly winemakers.

These wines are all unique and only available on Petites Caves.
YOU DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH WHERE TO START?
Are you curious to discover these wines that are being talked about more and more? For you, we've made it simple. We asked winemakers we know and appreciate to make accessible, fruity wines that are easy to "understand" from the first sip. The idea was to come in through the logic of Grape variety. Melon de Bourgogne, Gamay, Grenache, Chenin... if these words, which you sometimes hear, do not evoke precise ideas for you... these wines are made for you!
