François Lurton, a fifth-generation winemaker, cultivates unique vineyards in Argentina, Chile, Spain, and France. In 2000, François and his brother Jacques found the perfect location in Chile’s Colchagua Valley. The site is situated in an area that, at the time, had never been used for viticulture. Today, the estate spans 28 hectares of vineyards and has become a sought-after destination for wine production. Located on the “Ruta del Vino” in a stunning setting, they are developing wine tourism on the estate to cater to the growing number of wine enthusiasts in this beautiful region!

Vignobles Francois Lurton
At the foot of the Quéribus cliff in Roussillon, Mas Janeil is the most personal expression of François Lurton—the fifth generation of a family that has become one of France’s leading wine producers. Situated on a geological fault line that creates an exceptional diversity of soils (granite, limestone, schist), 30 hectares of vineyards cultivated using methods close to biodynamics produce structured, sometimes unconventional wines in which freshness and texture take center stage.
The Lurton family, originally from the Bordeaux region, went on to develop vineyards in South America. In our selection, it was their Italian, Chilean, and Argentine wines that won us over—a testament to their expertise in adapting to radically different terroirs.
