Our story

In Provence, everything happened in the place called Les Vidaux (a small hamlet inhabited only by Vidal's, uh Vidaux), in Pierrefeu du Var where the Vidal grandparents live. It was there that Alain grew up, before leaving for ENITA (agricultural engineering school) in Bordeaux to discover the Bordeaux region. After a 10 year break from Communication for Isagri, Alain is, at 35, caught up in his childhood project to become a winegrower, which Celine also shares. Alain is the search for everything that is greedy, in the glass and on the plate. Celine grew up in the Vendée and keeps her childhood in the countryside surrounded by her brothers, a deep attachment to nature; after her business studies in Paris and then in Germany, she joyfully adopted this life as close as possible to the vine and the cycle of the seasons and marvels at the beauty of nature. Very attached to the simple and pure pleasures of life, with Alain, they both transmitted their passion for cooking, and the happiness of a good meal in good company to their 4 children. celine is the search for beauty and goodness in human relationships as in wine!
