Winemakers we happily work with
Discover our beloved producers. We visited each of them personally and built friendships over the years! We love them and we hope you will too.
Jacopo Stigliano
Jacopo grows wine in Emilia-Romagna, taking care of a parcel of 100 years old vines. On top of that, he is pouring his energy into a 6ha parcel that he bought last year.
We are thrilled to have Buriana, Lauv and Hiareth vintages at Rocket, and we are certain there are more great things coming in the next years.
Jean-Christophe Jézéquel
ean-Christophe Jézéquel is probably one of the next promising talent in the Loire Valley. We met him back in 2018 on a wine fair in Blois and we will never forget the thrill and surprise it was when we got to drink his first vintage, a superb Sauvignon Blanc that left us absolutely speechless.
Dobrá Vinice - Petr Nejedlík and Andrea Nejedlíková
Dobrá Vinice is quite a remarkable example and unique winery located in the South-East region of Moravia in Czech Republic not so far from the Austrian border. Petr and his wife Andrea are extremely dedicated people…
Kamara Winery
Kamara wines is a small winery surrounded by 11 organically farmed vineyards near Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece. Dimitrios and his wife started their first production in 2010 and were organic from the beginning.
Staffelter Hof - Jan Matthias Klein
Founded in 862, and that’s not a typo, Staffelter Hof is one of the oldest companies in the world. Jan Matthias Klein took over in 2005 and they converted to fully organic starting in 2011 and were certified in 2014.
Societa Agricola Ombretta - Alex della Vecchia
What started as a side-project of the Costadila team, might turn into a full-blown thing. Alex della Vecchia started vinifying grapes from Agricola Ombretta at the Costadlia winery.
Maria and Alexander Koppitsch
Alex and Maria Koppitsch took over their family winery in 2011. Before that it had been run by Alex’s Dad Leo, and before that, well, the Koppitsch family has been making wine for over 500 years.
Chahut et Prodiges - Grégory Leclerc
Like so many other natural winemakers, Gregory Leclerc left behind a different career in favour of grapes and cellars. Fortunately for Gregory though, his former job as wine journalist in Paris gave him a bit of headstart over some of the others who chose the same route.
Michel Autran
Michel Autran, former doctor, decided wine might be more his thing. Some people buy a convertible Porsche, while others learn about Chenin Blanc from some renowned winemakers in order to make their own.
Les Vignes de l'Ange Vin - Jean-Pierre Robinot
Jean-Pierre Robinot is a bit of a natural wine celebrity, but don’t tell him we said that. He opened a natural wine bar in Paris in 1989, and later even founded a natural wine journal in France. He doesn’t grow his grapes on the banks of the Seine though.
Le Temps des Cerises - Axel Prüfer
Axel Prüfer moved from East Germany to France and began his journey in winemaking. He worked for and learned from other natural winemakers and in 2003 he founded his own domaine, Les Temps des Cerises. His vineyard is in Languedoc, nestled in l’Hérault surrounded by forests.
La Graine Sauvage - Sybil Baldassare
Sybil is one of the most energetic winemakers that we know. She has a diploma as oenologue and has worked as a winemaking consultant in conventional and organic wineries. Sybil could not keep on working with a foot in each wine camp, so she started looking for a vineyard for herself, and she found one in 2015.
La Vigne du Perron - François Grinand
In 1993, François had reached the ripe old age of 27 and he started making wine. He rents 2 hectares of vines and also owns 0.25 of a hectare that he recently planted in some beautiful Jura limestone scree in the south of Bugey. At the time he was the only one in the region to make “pure juice” wines.
Domaine La Combe aux rêves - Grégoire et Judi Perron
Grégoire and Judi Perron started La Combe aux Rêves after they found a small, beautiful, over 100 year old vineyard of very old Ploussard/Poulsard vines. In the village of Journans, somewhere happily in the middle of nowhere between the Jura and Savoie.
Domaine Autour de l'Anne
Always up for a challenge, Anne wanted to make different wines than her husband, with different grapes on a different terroir. She also realized that she needed her own vines for the style of wine that she felt inspired to make.
Opi D’Aqui - Philippe Formentin
Philippe worked for almost 10 years as an apprentice to winemaker Alain Chabanon in Languedoc. After his winemaker classes, he decided to make wines abroad to learn different methods and how to work in different winemaking environments.
L’absurde génie des fleurs
The Gautiers are a young couple with a young winery vibrating with energy and ideas. Tom is French and Miha is Romanian.
They create wines in Languedoc but also use the project to promote Romanian viticulture
Christian Ducroux
Christian Ducroux is an encyclopedia of how to make wine without additives, and is considered by his winemaking peers, both in Beaujolais and beyond, as an example to follow.
Domaine Vincent Stoeffler
Vincent Stoeffler runs this family estate in the Bas-Rhin near Strasbourg. His goal is that his wines express the terroir from which it sprung.
Pierre Frick
Closer to Basel than they are to Strasbourg, the Domaine Frick is in a town called Pfaffenheim, a village that dates back to the Romans.
