History
Vindiou is a winemaking project initiated by Thomas and Cyprien, two friends collaborating with local winegrowers in the Rhône and Beaujolais regions. Their philosophy centers on sustainable agricultural practices, avoiding chemical use, and natural winemaking with spontaneous fermentations. “Les Grands Champs” is one of their flagship labels, sourced from a single vineyard in the Northern Rhône.
