After working for years as sharecroppers in the estate, Maria and Giuseppe bought the property. Then, with their son Leonardo – together with his wife Silvana, the wine business became the main company task.
Today the winery cultivates its own vineyards, some of which are set among the most prestigious cru of Barolo.
Dedicating the best care to the vine plants, precious and straightforward grapes are harvested and, during the vinification phase, are processed to bring out the intrinsic characteristics of each vine. Finally, with aging, the Cascina Sòt wines are further embellished, acquiring valuable tertiary hints.
Thus, from a small winery, wines are created, taken care of down to the finest detail and with the utmost attention paid to every single work step, very expressives and able to enhancing the varietal and the terroir of their origin.
Estate-Grown Champagnes – Premier Cru
Driven by the convictions of Arnaud Gounel, a passionate fourth-generation winegrower, the estate follows a committed and forward-looking approach, constantly striving to work in greater harmony with nature. Respect for the land, the Champagne landscape, and the people who cultivate it lies at the heart of our philosophy.
Certified High Environmental Value (HVE) and Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (VDC) since 2018, the vineyard covers 5 hectares divided into 29 individual plots located in Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes, and Rilly-la-Montagne, all classified Premier Cru.
We grow the three traditional Champagne grape varieties — Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay — across a highly fragmented vineyard. This diversity of soils, exposures, and micro-terroirs brings complexity, precision, and identity to our wines.
Since the 2018 harvest, this mosaic of parcels has enabled us to pursue parcel-by-parcel vinification in oak barrels, allowing each terroir to express itself with clarity and authenticity.
The majority of our cuvées are:
Among them are three Blancs de Noirs, including two 100% Meunier, emblematic of the estate’s style.
Production remains deliberately limited:
approximately 200 magnums per cuvée, and 1,200 to 3,000 bottles per parcel.
Champagnes of terroir — sincere, precise, and crafted for discerning wine lovers and demanding tables.
A family estate of five generations, located in Baslieux sous Châtillon, in the heart of the Marne Valley. Passionate about Meunier grapes for several generations, we showcase this grape variety through various 100% Meunier Extra-Brut cuvées. We have been converting to organic culture for three years now and have completed the first certified harvest in 2025.
Domaine Bott-Geyl – Alsace, France
"The perfectionist Jean-Christophe Bott is one of the great Alsatian winemakers." — La Revue du Vin de France
Two families. Two centuries of roots in the Alsatian soil. One obsession: making wines that speak louder than words.
Jean-Christophe Bott doesn't follow trends — he follows the land. Certified organic since 2000 and biodynamic since 2002, he farms 15 hectares across some of Alsace's most coveted terroirs: 6 Grands Crus, 4 lieux-dits, and one historic Clos, spread across soils of granite, limestone, marl, and sandstone. Every plot different. Every wine distinct.
His philosophy is uncompromising: harvest at perfect maturity, intervene as little as possible, and let extended aging do what nature intended. The result? Wines that are voluptuous, complex, and strikingly pure — a bold new vision of what Grand Vin d'Alsace can truly mean.
From a knife-sharp Riesling Grand Cru Schoenenbourg to a deeply layered Gewurztraminer Sonnenglanz, Bott-Geyl delivers the full, breathtaking range of Alsace — with the precision of a perfectionist and the soul of a vigneron who was born to do this.
Domaine Christophe et Fils – Chablis, Burgundy
One of Chablis' greatest underdog stories — and one of its most compelling wines.
Sébastien Christophe started with half a hectare of ordinary family vines in Fyé, a quiet plateau village just outside Chablis. No grand inheritance, no legacy estate. Just an obsessive work ethic, a deep sensitivity to terroir, and an unshakeable belief in what these ancient Kimmeridgian soils could do. He did the rest.
Today, the domaine spans village Chablis, and three of the most prestigious Premier Crus on the right bank of the Serein — Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu, and Montée de Tonnerre — alongside the Grand Cru Les Preuses. In the cellar, the approach is deliberately restrained: stainless steel, precise elevage, zero interference. The terroir does the talking.
The Domaine du Clos des Poulette is a very old family property in Burgundy. Located on the Côte de Nuits, it cultivates 16ha and produces some of the best Burgundy wines, between the villages ofCorgoloin and Vosne Romanée.
Experience, modernity and tradition are combined with strict oenological follow-up to extract the best of Burgundy Pinot Noir (85%) and Chardonnay (15%).
Our Main appellations are:
Côte de Nuits Villages, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Poulettes, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru les Vaucrains, Nuits Saint Georges les Vallerots.
Domaine Paul Ginglinger – Eguisheim, Alsace
"Le Kaiser du Eichberg et du Pfersigberg." — La Revue du Vin de France - ** RVF
Thirteen generations. Four centuries. One village. Since 1610, the Ginglinger family has been making wine in Eguisheim — one of the cradles of Alsatian viticulture.
Today the domaine is led by Michel Ginglinger, a trained oenologist who didn't take shortcuts before coming home. He trained at Domaine Armand Rousseau in Gevrey-Chambertin — one of Burgundy's most iconic estates — before broadening his experience further in South Africa and Chile. That time at Rousseau left a clear mark: a precision-first approach, a deep respect for individual parcels, and a Pinot Noir that La Revue du Vin de France called "very elegant and worth watching closely."
Back in Eguisheim, Michel farms 12 hectares of marl, limestone, and sandstone soils organically, anchored by two exceptional Grands Crus — Eichberg and Pfersigberg.
Purity. Finesse. Concentration. Over 400 years in the making.
Domaine Benjamin Taillandier – Caunes-Minervois, Languedoc
A vigneron with a clear vision and the nerve to go against the grain.
Benjamin Taillandier was 27 when he founded his domaine in 2007, starting with just 6 hectares of vines around Caunes-Minervois — nestled between Carcassonne and the Montagne Noire. His turning point came in 2004, when he crossed paths with Jean-Baptiste Senat, a pioneer of natural winemaking in the Minervois. Working alongside him reshaped everything: how Benjamin thinks about farming, about the cellar, about what a Languedoc wine should taste like.
In a region where 80% of production flows into cooperatives and most wines chase power and alcohol, Benjamin went the other way. Lighter, fresher, lower in alcohol — but never thin. His 22 hectares of goblet bush vines, aged 35 to 80 years, grow on a patchwork of schist, clay, limestone, and sand at 250 to 400 metres altitude. Certified organic from the start, biodynamic since 2022.
Domaine Julien Pilon – Chavanay, Northern Rhône
No family estate to inherit. No head start. Just talent, determination, and a garage.
Julien Pilon is a native of Chavanay, deep in the Northern Rhône — but he built his domaine from nothing. After studying winemaking and cutting his teeth across Roussillon and Spain, he returned home and sought out the best mentors the region had to offer: Yves Cuilleron, Pierre Gaillard, and Pierre-Jean Villa — names that define the Northern Rhône. What he learned shaped everything. In 2010, he made his first vintage in his parents' garage with just 600 cases and a clear sense of where he was headed.
More than a decade later, the domaine has grown into one of the most talked-about addresses in the Northern Rhône. Operating across its most celebrated appellations — Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray, Crozes-Hermitage — Pilon combines a modest 5-hectare estate with carefully sourced fruit from trusted neighbours, vinified with the same precision and intention throughout.
His whites — Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne — are rich yet taut, aromatic yet grounded. His reds, all 100% Syrah, carry the signature Northern Rhône signature: peppery, complex, fresh, and built to last. Parker, Wine Spectator, and La Revue du Vin de France have all taken notice.
A self-made vigneron at the top of one of France's most competitive wine regions.
Massimo Lentsch – Etna, Sicily
Not every great wine project begins with inherited vines. Some begin with a volcano.
Massimo Lentsch is an entrepreneur and passionate wine lover who found his calling on volcanic soil. Already the owner of Tenuta di Castellaro on the island of Lipari — one of whose wines landed in Robert Parker's Top 100 Wine Discoveries 2020 — he turned his attention to Etna at the end of 2018, drawn by the unique power and complexity the mountain offers. He didn't arrive as an outsider looking to capitalise on a trend. He spent 15 years getting to know the land, the growers, and the people before making a single bottle.
The estate is situated on Etna's north face — the most prized side of the volcano — in the prestigious contrada Feudo di Mezzo, near Randazzo. The vineyards are trained in the traditional alberello system, with century-old ungrafted vines growing on layered lava soils at altitude. No herbicides, no chemicals, native yeasts only, no fining — organic and vegan protocols throughout. Consulting winemaker Emiliano Falsini brings decades of experience across Italy's finest estates to translate this extraordinary terroir into the glass.
The wines — Etna Rosso and Rosato from Nerello Mascalese, and a pure Carricante white — don't chase power or weight. They whisper rather than shout: fresh, precise, mineral, and built for both pleasure and age.
A personal project in every sense. Each bottle, as Lentsch puts it, carries his personality, character, and will.
