The first working season in Villemoustiers.
Working since 2015
From a back-room bottle night to a working cellar.
Rue Noire began as a monthly bottle table in a narrow music bar, where growers poured after service and writers stayed past the last train.

From a back-room bottle night to a working cellar.
Rue Noire began as a monthly bottle table in a narrow music bar, where growers poured after service and writers stayed past the last train.
The cellar followed later, carrying the same open-door rhythm into whole-cluster reds and bright field blends.
“A wine is never only a liquid. It is also the room, the hour, and the person who opened it.”
The cellar moved to smaller lots and slower decisions.
Direct releases began with one shared table.
The current chapter opened around place, craft, and welcome.
