Marc Valette was a crucial component in the impressive renaissance of the Languedoc’s wines in the 1990s.

He was the leading light in Saint-Chinian until the arrival of all the young wolves—and remains a key figurehead for the entire region. In our opinion, the Languedoc’s success in producing abundant quantities of high quality wine galvanized the whole country of France into producing gourmand wines at affordable prices. Marc Valette wasn’t only at the forefront of a revolution in modern French wine; he was also a pioneer of organic agriculture, having farmed without chemicals since 1992.

His cuvée Antonyme is designe by Marc Valette to be consumed young, while Une et Mille Nuits is deeper and fleshier. Henceforth Ivresse and Maghani are also part of our portfolio.
