Marie-Hélène Veyrunes and Thomas Faure have always been passionate about vine and wine, and worked for many years at Domaine Les Lys in Blauzac: they loved the land and surrounding countryside, and cared deeply about the estate’s future.
In 2016, the Domaine’s managing partners separated, and the couple had a unique opportunity to take over the estate. They threw themselves wholeheartedly into their new venture, seeking to make a wine that reflected their personalities.
They kept the Domain name – Les Lys – but made many other changes, including converting to organic agriculture. As Thomas points out, “Organic farming isn’t always easy, but we feel that not only is this the best way to protect the environment and biodiversity, we also have the satisfaction of working in a healthy, balanced environment.”
