When I first started exploring wine over 20 years ago, I met Stéphane Vedeau when I entered a small kitchen in Servian where he was tasting and testing blends with oenologist Claude Serra. The then-company Maurel & Vedeau has been sold, and Stéphane is now following his passion by making fantastic wines at the old family estate in the Rhône. We now sell his fantastic wines from La Tour Coste. Besides a delicious Côtes du Rhône Villages, these include Crozes-Hermitage, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, and Châteuneuf-Du-Pape.

Stéphane's philosophy: Our wines grow in a completely natural environment, in harmony with the original vegetation. The vines are treated with the utmost care throughout the year, with the sole aim of producing the highest possible quality fruit. No chemicals or pesticides are used. Good wine can only be achieved when grapes of the highest quality are used.

Each year, Stéphane Vedeau strives to capitalize on the eternal principle that top-quality wine is created when you pair the ideal soil type with perfectly ripe and healthy grapes. As a small producer, Stéphane Vedeau feels it his duty not only to produce perfect wines but also to offer his customers the best service. This is the only way to guarantee a good and long-lasting relationship.
