In 2021 Caroline and Rémy Kaneko settled on two hectares of vineyards in Saint-Maurice-sur-Eygues, near the city of Nyons. Rémy is a trained sculptor and has restored old frescoes throughout France. He was also half of the pair behind the very popular wine bar Chambre Noire in Paris for several years.

They returned to his parents’ olive farm, and now, in addition to the family’s olive trees, the two of them make small quantities of wine from their grapes on the farm, without any additions at all, including sulphur. The old vines (85 years old) are located on the slopes of Saint-Maurice, on clay-calcareous soils covered with “galets roulés” (large pebbles) typical of the region. The younger (25-year-old) vines are located directly above, on a terrace of the same texture.
