Domaine des Berioles

Located in the heart of the Saint-Pourçain apppellation, and initially devoted to cereal crops, Olivier Teissèdre acquired the estate in 1976. In 1989, Olivier's wife, Odile, wished to diversify the estate’s activities. That same year, they became owners of Clos des Bérioles and planted the first 9,000 vines on the Climat des Bérioles. Over the next 22 years, the vineyard developed to 8 hectares. In 2011, their son Jean joined to the family estate after training in Burgundy and the Loire Valley. He officially established the domaine that same year, setting up the winery in a traditional Bourbonnais-style farmhouse. In 2015, Jean' sister, Sophie, joined the estate with her husband Jérôme. Together, they grew the estate to 15 hectares and earned the organic certification in 2019, while now completing its biodynamic transition. Today, the vineyard is planted with 33% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 23% Tressallier - a native grape of the appellation - and 14% Gamay.
