We've been working on this project for a long, long time. We're going beyond organic, pushing the boundaries of regeneration even further, and accelerating the ecological transition. With this project, that's what we're doing, and we can't wait to bring you along!
Since our beginnings, we have worked with winemakers from all over France, helping them go beyond organic - through funding projects in the vineyards - and who produce your favorite wines.
And today, we wanted to go even further, to become producers.
So, we bought our first estate in the south of France: Domaine Oé de la Chapelle Saint-Pierre!
The Oé Estate
Domaine Oé de la Chapelle Saint Pierre comprises 6 hectares of vines producing wine under the AOP and IGP Côtes du Rhône appellations. It is located right here in the Rhône Valley between the Drome and Vaucluse departments.
It has been certified organic since 2023 and we are working on the regeneration of biodiversity through the implementation of an action plan in the vineyards:
- the establishment of plant cover
- the contribution of organic matter
- planting hedges and viticulture and forestry
- the integration of flower strips for local wildlife

We also aim to label it a B Corp in the coming years. We'll keep you updated on our progress!
ESUS approval!
ESUS stands for Entreprise Solidaire d'Utilité Sociale (Social Solidarity Enterprise). More specifically, this means that we are committed to implementing actions and projects such as welcoming citizens to the estate, professional integration, and sustainable development. In concrete terms, it's not our estate that has been certified, but rather our real estate company that purchased it ;)
Have you met Sophie?
Sophie manages all of our land management. She's a bit of a regeneration fairy. Specifically, she finds the best ways to support our partner winegrowers and further the ecological transition at Domaine Oé.
If you're interested in learning more about regeneration, you can listen to this awesome podcast episode she was a part of!
We'll tell you more about the rest very soon :wink:
See you soon,
The Oé team
