Our resistant varieties
New grape varieties for the viticulture of the future
At Pierre & Antonin, we’ve chosen to blaze our own trail. Inspired by nature and today’s challenges, we’ve turned to resistant grape varieties: innovative varieties that enable us to produce natural, authentic wines that respect the living world.
Meaning?
a naturally immune cross
A resistant grape variety is a super-variety resulting from a natural cross between a European vine (the one we know so well for its oenological qualities) and a wild American vine. It is produced by manual pollination (no genetic manipulation here)!
up to 15 times Fewer treatments
Fewer treatments, less water, less time spent in the vineyard… and therefore less impact on the planet.Cleaner, simpler, more resilient viticulture in the face of climate change.
hand pollination
This natural crossbreeding is achieved by hand pollination (no genetic manipulation here!). Just as Syrah is born of a marriage between two ancient grape varieties.
Disease-resistant
A natural cross between a European vine (known for its oenological qualities) and a wild American vine, naturally immune to the vine diseases powdery mildew and downy mildew.

beyond organic
We take it all the way:

Our story
Pierre & antonin, friendship in a bottle
Pierre Caizergues and Antonin Bonnet met in New York on July 4, 2010. The ideas were flowing, and so did the wine!
They talk about the Midi, the Mediterranean, and the future of this Occitan and Cathar South of France. Antonin, from AOP Larzac, and Pierre, from AOP Malepère, have it in their blood! Their grandfathers and fathers were very involved in local viticulture.
However, Pierre & Antonin have a free hand: they create “vins d’auteur”, “vins de copains”, rebellious, lively wines in which they fully express their avant-garde, innovative vision.
Their challenge: to produce natural wines accessible to as many people as possible!
