Les Maou was established in 2014 by Vincent and Aurelie Garetta. Vincent was a mathematics statistician with a PHD in climatology, Aurelie a postwoman. This remarkable couple don’t come from a wine background, the only family link is Vincent’s grandmother who produced table grapes. Their journey to wine began with natural wine, exploring and learning. From Marcel Richaud and his heavier Rhone reds, Puzelat, Curtois and Lemasson's chisseled Loire whites, Pfifferling and Oustric for wines of balance and freshness to the Beaujolais and carbonic maceration.
They began by renting 3.5 hecatres and a small shed for winemaking, and have built the estate to 10 hectares, all land owned expect the initial hectares that were rented. Aurelie officially joined the domaine in 2018, but like all small businesses, she has been integral since the beginning, in addition to her day job and raising two young children. Much of the vineyards, are to the east of the mountain, on the flats and up the slopes. The cool air that descends the mountain at nights aids the growing season and ensures cooler night temperatures despite its warm Mediterranean cimate. Soils are limestone dominant with a base of clay or sand.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
