Medieval Meets Modern
A video voyage into our Bleuniverse
Take a trip around Planète Chêne Bleu (volume can be adjusted). The soundtrack was composed by a talented 'Bardcore' musician — the Bardcore musical movement reinterprets contemporary hits using medieval instrumentation.
Our wine is produced on a medieval Estate but our mindset is very state-of-the art, so we have enjoyed using this musical metaphor and rendition as an homage to one of our favorite chart-topping hits, and its famous video which transports you to another world - can you name that iconic tune?
Not Mine, Not Yours, But Ours
Welcome to Planète Chêne Bleu
Our beloved microcosm in the Wine Universe, tucked away in a wild UNESCO Biosphere forest at the top of a mountain in the Mont Ventoux near Avignon in the South of France.
Through ceaseless labor and single-minded dedication, our quest is to create wines and experiences that exalt the human spirit, re-connecting us with Nature's most inspirational fruits, both literally and figuratively.
The thoughts, products and experiences that ferment from this process remind us daily of some bigger truths, which we aim to bottle and share.
Our secluded idyllic French wine estate feels like its own planète, ideal for those who enjoy learning, challenging what they think they know, and aspiring to be the best they can.
Let us welcome you to our world, a parallel reality where you can step away from the pressures of life to a place beyond time, with purity of product, process and purpose. Our motto is 'Non Mihi Non Tibi Sed Nobis' - Not Mine, not Yours but Ours. It reminds us with every bottle how friendships and generosity can blossom when people come together.
We look forward to hosting you, in spirit or in person, on our Planète Chêne Bleu.
