The winemaker, Lidewij van Wilgen has lived two lives already: First she made a career in advertising at Saatchi & Saatchi and Lowe in Amsterdam. At thirty she was head of the strategy department — she had reached the ceiling and the choice was there: Keep on doing the same thing for thirty more years, or start a new life. Together with her ex-husband, a Dutch creative director, she chose the latter. Being wine enthusiasts, they started to look for the ideal place to make their own wine. After visits to Bordeaux and the Northern Rhône they became intrigued by what people called: ‘The new world of wine in France' – The Languedoc. So, where else to go than Southern France where all still seemed possible? Lidewij found a beautiful farm house in a small valley with perfect terroir. She makes luscious, beautiful, organic wines that have received awards from Decanter, Wine Spectator and glowing reviews from British wine maven Jancis Robinson. We literally can't get enough of her wines!
