We're talking to you about his Winery
| Rémi Sédès is part of a generation of young winemakers who have brought the Côteaux d'Ancenis region near Nantes back into the spotlight. Rémi has extensive experience making red wines in the Bordeaux region and produces some truly excellent Gamay wines from granite-based soil.
Rémi is originally from the Jura region, where he actually has a few cousins who are winemakers in Château. However, having always lived in Paris, he set his sights in his youth on pursuing serious studies in agronomy, but the frenetic pace of preparatory classes threw him off track. He then opted for what he himself describes as a bohemian lifestyle... As an accordionist, he joined a small band from eastern France, Les Tontons Zingueurs. It’s easy to see how much these experiences helped cultivate in Rémi a deep sensitivity and a taste for meaningful connections. In 2004, he turned a new page and began to take an interest in wine. He then left northern France and headed for the Libourne region. He learned and trained in the vineyards—often conventionally farmed—in Saint-Émilion, Fronsac, the Entre-Deux-Mers region, and finally in the Côtes de Francs, at Château Puy. Other encounters led him to Nantes in 2010, where he worked for two years at Vincent Caillé’s estate in Monnières, and it was there that Rémi truly discovered organic farming. |
One thing led to another, and he gradually developed a desire to settle in the region. He set the bar quite high, as it seemed obvious to him that he should practice organic viticulture, and he also opted for animal-drawn plowing from the very start, using his mare Tocade. It was Jacques Carroget—a leading producer of natural wines in the Côteaux d’Ancenis region in Anetz—who then offered him the opportunity to take over 2.5 hectares in the town of St. Herblon, in the Côteaux d’Ancenis, a region once renowned for its Gamay. Winery vineyards thus Winery of two separate plots. The first, acquired in March 2013, consists of young, adolescent Gamay vines—in excellent condition, according to the winemaker—on a micro-granite terroir. The second, covering 1.5 hectares of old vines, is located about fifteen kilometers away, near Oudon, on a beautiful hillside in the Muscadet-Coteaux de la Loire region. To produce his first vintages, he was fortunate enough to find a space in the heart of a neighboring hamlet where he could set up his fermentation tanks, which he shares with a friend who is an organic fruit grower. | ![]() |
