Chateau Maris L’Autan Minervois Bin End

Recognised by Wine Spectator as one of the most environmentally friendly wineries in the world, Château Maris is the project of Bertie Eden, one of the early pioneers of organic and biodynamic winemaking in the Languedoc. After working across some of the world’s most renowned wine regions, he fell under the spell of La Livinière and established the estate in 1997, determined to make wines that are both terroir-driven and environmentally responsible.

That philosophy runs through the whole estate. In the vineyard, every decision is shaped by long-term care for the land, and even in the winery itself, where hemp bricks, solar power and a naturally low-energy design form a remarkable carbon-negative cellar. In the cellar, a thoughtful, low-intervention approach allows the wines to express the freshness, depth and wild beauty of La Livinière.
