With her parents staying at a family home near Toulouse when the pandemic hit and deciding to stay the course, Oriane upped sticks and swapped locked-down London for the bucolic surroundings of France's south-west. Oriane counts herself extremely lucky to have chanced upon Laure & Pierre Fabre of the nearby biodynamic Domaine Gayrard, volunteering her services in the vineyards and cellar, learning everything she could. In 2021, jumping at the opportunity to make some wine of her own and given a little space in their cellar, Oriane took over a few rows of vines at Domaine Gayrard, among them varieties that they rarely used (Gamay, Muscadelle) and the crop from their youngest Syrah vines. Planted over clay-limestone, farming is pristine and biodynamic, and whilst Oriane is technically négoce, she knows these vineyards deeply, and farms them as if they were her own.
