About Le Vin des Potes

Le Vin des Potes is the story of two wine lovers driven by a passion for food, wine, and collaboration. The adventure started when the pair came together to make a special cuvée for La Chassagnette, made from grapes grown by Stephane Gros in Argelliers. One thing led to another, and they decided to put together the first Vin des Potes wine, which met such high demand it quickly led to a second, and now each new vintage brings new wines.

Yoan Tavares started life working in a Parisian wine shop and bistro before becoming a sommelier at the Michelin-starred restaurant La Chassagnette.

Basile Passe spent 10 years working as an IT consultant for a Canadian company before a life-changing meeting with Stefano Amerighi in Tuscany. This prompted him to start a career in wine, and it was while working in wine shops that he met Yoan, and Le Vin des Potes was born.

Basile and Yoan conceived of the Le Vin des Potes name (“mates’ wine”) because it captures their ethos of working hand in hand with winemakers, making their own blends from grapes grown by their friends.

About Catherine Bernard

Catherine was a journalist before she bought her vines in the Herault in the commune of Saint Drezery. She still writes but dedicates most of her time to her vines and wine. She works the vines in a biodynamic spirit but is certified organic. For a while, Catherine shared a winery with another local vine grower but in 2015 she built her own.

Catherine often exclaims that she wishes she could make white wine rather than red wine and this desire comes across in its character – great elegance and fine tannins with lots of delicate red fruit.
