The estate, Saint Vincent de Paul

Vignobles Landeau

Heirs to a long line of coopers, we have been winegrowers for five generations, and we make the Liquid Fire cuvée with the band Gojira.

The place, the history

Between two rivers

Our vineyard lies in south-west France, very close to Bordeaux, between two rivers, the Garonne and the Dordogne, the wine granary of Bordeaux in the 17th century.

Our family comes from a long line of coopers. We have been winegrowers for five generations.

Our approach

Working alongside, without forcing

Making wine is a wonderful, absorbing adventure. It takes on its full meaning through patience: gently working alongside nature, labouring close to it without forcing it, and being mindful that you are part of it. The result is then marvellous: the vine, the climate, the soil and the winegrower express themselves together in the wine.

All our work accompanies and respects the living.

The 2018 vintage is the first grown entirely on organic principles. The 2023 white is certified. Our wines contain no additives of animal origin.

The cuvée

A wine of this place, and nowhere else

Liquid Fire came out of this way of working, and of the friendship between the members of the band Gojira and the owners of the estate.
