- Producers | Mosaique Wines
Meet Mosaique Wines' French wine producers and let them tell you their stories. producers Some French vignerons have flown under the radar in recent times, choosing to focus on the integrity of their products, rather than chasing the limelight. Many of the estates Mosaique Wines features have been in the same family for generations, acting as a loving custodian of their lands, passing on the knowledge of these ancient varietals to the winemakers who follow. It is this care and understanding of their terroir that has allowed us to enjoy full expressions of native regional varietals, produced with methods that have been tried and tested over centuries. These producers respect the land they farm above all else, using organic and biodynamic techniques to nourish their vines and the ecosystem around them. We have endeavored to tell their stories, in the hope you can envisage yourself sharing a glass with these characters. You can discover more about each producer, and their wines, by clicking on their photos below. For all the wine buffs out there, we've added technical information that we hope will help you get to know our products, should you like to dig a little deeper!

- Domaine Marius Bielle | Mosaique Wines
Domaine Marius Bielle was founded in the 1940s by Damien’s grandfather, the domaine’s namesake, in Lalande-de-Pomerol. In this area, a grape maligned in other wine growing regions is seen as the king. Here, Merlot rules them all. DOMAINE MARIUS BIELLE Lalande-de-Pomerol, Bordeaux Organic The face of Bordeaux is changing. For a region so steeped in wine history, the pace is perhaps slower than other regions, however the Bordeaux our parents knew is quietly beginning to share the spotlight with a group of energised and talented new blood, including Damien Bielle of Domaine Marius Bielle. We met Damien around a table of laughter, pizzas and of course wine. This unique character was introduced to us by Olivier from Chateau Gombaude-Guillot, both young rising stars of Bordeaux who became fast friends. A passion for wine was an obvious shared connection, which has evolved into sharing a warehouse, however they also discovered a joint love of MMA fighting. Word is they’ve even fashioned a simple yet effective gym and a fighting ring in the warehouse! Domaine Marius Bielle was founded in the 1940s by Damien’s grandfather, the domaine’s namesake, in Lalande-de-Pomerol. In this area, a grape maligned in other wine growing regions is seen as the king. Here, Merlot rules them all. There are no blends, the wines are 100% Merlot, a ‘one terroir, one cepage’ approach championed by Burgundy. It is this approach that allows Damien to focus on making wines that highlight the nuances of this grape. Graduating as an agronomist engineer, he went onto oenology school in Bordeaux and then worked for some of the most prestigious producers in the world - Chateau Petrus (Pomerol) and Chateau Cheval Blanc (Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe), before finally deciding to return to the family estate to create his own expression in 2020. The process starts on the famous Pomerol soils of sand and gravel, with 13 hectares of organically farmed vineyard (certified 2021). Weaved in between the oceans of surrounding vines, you’ll find the Domaine Marius Bielle ecosystem - breaking the monotony with trees, grass and flowers growing in the vineyard, freeing space to create orchards, vegetable gardens and allowing a few animals in the vines. When vintage rolls around, the grapes are handpicked and sorted, before maceration by infusion, and a slow natural fermentation with vinification occuring in stainless steel tanks. Like a painter in his workshop, it’s a moment of focus and presence - creating a sketch of the vintage. The ‘slow but steady’ ethos continues through to aging, using concrete tanks and amphoras to gently and softly raise his Merlot. Damien grew up in contact with les “vins d’avant”, an old school style of wine in the best of ways, those wines that took the time of aging in the cellar and then in bottles before being released. This has without doubt influenced his winemaking, insisting the wines reveal themselves in time, finding their complexity along the way and without the use of sulphur, filtering or fining. We are excited to be bringing these vibrant and contemporary wines to Australia. It’s Damien’s wish that these Bordeaux wines that are opened at tables filled with laughter and good friends, enjoyed with some quality meat on the barbecue, not to be intimidating and tasted in suits and silence. He wants his wines to bring conversation. Having tasted his line up and a range of spectacular back vintages, we’re sure they will.

- La Colombiere | Fronton | Mosaique Wines
Just 30 mins north of Toulouse, some of France’s rarest vines are painstakingly nursed back from extinction by husband and wife team Diane and Philippe Cauvin. The pair is living their dream, crafting wines from a regional variety: Negrette, which is native to their area of Fronton. chateau la colombiere Fronton, South-West France Biodynamic certified Just 30 mins north of Toulouse, some of France’s rarest vines are painstakingly nursed back from extinction by husband and wife team Diane and Philippe Cauvin. The pair is living their dream, crafting wines from a regional variety: Negrette, which is native to their area of Fronton. Diane took the reigns of the family estate after learning viticulture and completing a tour de force throughout French vineyards including Burgundy. The first and perhaps the most significant change was to step up the effort to preserve these rare vines by farming Chateau La Colombiere biodynamically in 2006. As the vines have been cultivated here in the same way since the 15th century, this was a significant change, to say the least. Add to this hand picking and sorting and you get the base to create something delicious. Terroir is composed mostly of gravel and sandy alluvial soils part of the Tarn river terraces. Colombiere's 25 years old vines share the space with some fantastic 70 year old Negrette vines. Every biodynamic preparation is prepared and dynamised on site, with the focus placed on activating life in the soils by using weeds, cereal cover and ploughing. The Cauvin's prefer a 'hands-off' winemaking style, considering their efforts are best directed at the vineyard. In the cellar, they use gravity to preserve the quality of the grapes.The grapes are hand harvested and hand sorted. For reds, grapes are then partially de-stemmed and lightly crushed before moving straight into cement vats. Diane and Philippe will maintain that it’s not rocket science. We think they’re pretty special though, and can drink these fresh and floral wines morning, noon and night…(responsibly).

- Champagne Waris Hubert | Mosaique Wines
Champagne Waris Hubert is lead by Stephanie and Olivier Waris, 5th generation organic grower producer based in Avize. The beautiful Champagne they craft from the Cote des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne are going strengths to strengths, we could't recommend them enough for their elegance and purity. champagne WARIS HUBERT Côte des Blancs & Vallée de la Marne, Champagne Organic certified At the heart of Avize in the Côte des Blancs, Champagne Waris-Hubert is very much a family story. Fifth-generation vignerons Stéphanie Hubert and Olivier Waris, together with their children Blanche, Antonin, and Cyprien, tend 18 hectares of vines across some of Champagne’s most prized terroirs. Their roots run deep, yet their outlook is forward-thinking, marrying heritage with a modern sensibility. From the 2023 vintage, Waris-Hubert is proudly organic certified—an achievement shared by only a handful of Champagne growers (5%). Horse-drawn ploughs in their Grand Cru parcels, sheep grazing the cover crops, and minimal intervention in the cellar all reflect a philosophy of care, patience, and respect for the land. As Olivier notes, “The more the roots tickle the chalk, the more the wines reveal finesse and character.” This respect extends beyond the vineyard. Under the guidance of son Cyprien, the family also runs a working farm, harvesting vegetables and crops with the same care and patience that underpin their viticulture. This holistic approach reflects their philosophy of stewardship: tending the earth in a way that ensures vitality for generations to come. In the vineyards, they work across a remarkable patchwork of terroirs: Avize, Oger, Cramant, Chouilly, Mesnil sur Oger (Grand Cru, Côte des Blancs), Grauves (Premier Cru, Côte des Blancs), Aÿ (Grand Cru, Vallée de la Marne), Barbonne-Fayel (Coteaux Sézannais), Marfaux (Vallée of Ardre) and Monthelon (Côteaux Sud of Epernay). The plantings are 70% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier, true to a Côte des Blancs heritage and the broader expression they seek from Champagne’s mosaic of terroirs. In the cellar, precision and patience is the name of the game. Each parcel is vinified individually, allowing the character of place to shine. A smaller component of the base wines is produced in large oak barrels (600 litres from Tonnellerie de Champagne), which brings subtle texture and depth. They prefer partial malolactic fermentation to preserve energy and vibrancy, ensuring their Champagnes retain the tension and freshness that define their style. The resulting wines are elegant, expressive, and finely etched, expressions of both site and philosophy. Going on the road with Stéphanie and Blanche for the launch and meeting so many from the trade, press, and Champagne-loving community was a confirmation of our excitement in the rising quality of their beautiful wines.
