Athlètes du Vin
About
Paris Wine Company works with two members of the Vini Be Good network: Matthieu Vallée of Château Yvonne and Christophe Ferrandis of Clos Signadore. We are proud to present these wines made by their friends and family, as several of the cuvées are made by Matthieu Vallée’s brother Gérard Vallée.
The labels for Les Athletes du Vin are drawings by French artist, illustrator, and cartoonist Michel Tolmer who has been the unofficial lead artist of the French natural wine movement since the 1990s.
