History
A family estate, handed down from generation to generation, from Pierre Minet in 1627, to Lucia in 2021, first woman on the estate. When an inheritage becomes a human adventure, a story of family, and a passion!
Robert
The year the Pouilly-Fumé appellation was created in 1937, Robert Minet succeeded his father Eugène, who succeeded his father Pierre, Pierre to Nicolas etc. and so it had been since the 17th century. With the help of his wife Henriette, he cultivated 3 hectares of Sauvignon and Chasselas, owned A horse and 3 cows. He was also a cooper and made his own barrels.
Régis
Régis was only 17 when he took over the estate following Robert’s illness. In 1978, on his father’s death, he inherited 3 hectares of vines. Over the years, he expanded the estate, built a new winery, and developed export sales. In 2021, after 43 solo harvests, Régis handed over the estate to Lucia, daughter of his wife Nathalie.
Lucia
After working in Bordeaux and New York for Château Smith Haut Laffite, then for wines and spirits distributor CGM, she decided to be at the heart of creation.
In 2021, she went back to school, and obtained a diploma in viticulture. She took over the Régis estate, where she grew up, and has since added her own signature touch, while building on the work of previous generations. Her unfailing support: her husband Romain.
Nathalie
And then behind the scenes, Nathalie Lucia’s mother. She greatly contributed to her return to the domain. The range of its missions is wide: administrative, communication, commercial relay, greeting of customers at the cellar. Its strengths: being a domain’s living memory, ask her in French or English, she’ll answer all your questions!
