Everything starts with a BTS viti-oeno in Avignon where Paul has a click: he wants to become a winegrower. He meets Morgane and they decide together to create their own domain. Without a family wine-growing heritage, they want to create a wine that looks like them: freshness, conviviality and sharing are the order of the day!
Anecdotes about the domain
Our passion for wine came from this magical object that is the wine bottle. It is opened for pleasure, for connivance, for the desire to share. Opening a bottle is an act that brings people together, that unifies, that breaks codes and divisions to leave only pure pleasure - the pleasure of sharing a good moment with loved ones. If we were to choose the wine that most resembles us, it would be the wine that is drunk, that brings emotion, the wine that brings people together. Put a table of 10 people and several bottles of different vintages and regions, find the bottles that are emptied the fastest and you will find the answer... Passion does not deceive. An encounter that marked us ? We had the chance to travel around France to learn our trade from demanding but passionate tutors and bosses. If we had to name a few: the Griffe family in Saint Bris le Vinneux in Burgundy, Olivier Pascaux and Mr. Marie at Château Cambon La Pelouse in the Haut-Médoc, Aymeric Izard at Château d'Aussières in Corbières (where - for the record - our daughter Louise was born)...
The domain's short story
Paul, Parisian, his Baccalaureate obtained, he launches into a BTS Viti-Œno in Avignon... it is really there that everything is played out, with a brilliant promotion, passionate and exciting teachers, a region blessed by the gods... "it is this profession that I want to do", he says to himself. This will be followed by a meeting with Morgane (Toulouse), in Narbonne during the Licence. The project to launch their own domain is written there. The Mp Berthier estate; it is above all the synergy of Morgane and Paul, transposed to wine. At 23 and 25 years old, they bought 7 hectares of vines, with the aim of creating their own vineyard. During their National Diploma of Oenologist, their first child was born and the first vines bought in a state close to abandonment. The fact of settling outside the family framework, i.e. without taking over the family estate, sometimes for several generations, is an asset and a constraint. An asset in so far as we are free to make our wines as we wish, to create this or that label, cork... it is also a challenge to create your own network, to discover and tame the vines and the terroir.
The winemaker's pride
After his high school diploma, Paul - a Parisian - started a Viti-Oeno BTS in Avignon. A great promotion, passionate and exciting teachers; in short, a region blessed by the Gods. That's when he really gets the hang of it: "This is the job I want to do," he says to himself. He then met Morgane - Toulouse - and they decided to launch themselves and create their own domain: Domaine MP Berthier. They have a desire: to transpose the synergy that exists between them into their wines! At 23 and 25 years old, they finally bought 7 hectares of vines to make their dream come true. Two happy events marked their national oenologist diploma: the birth of their first child and the purchase of their first vines in a state close to abandonment.
