Clos des Grillons

🍷 Clos des Grillons: Living Wines and Biodynamics in the Gard Region

Based in Rochefort-du-Gard since 2007, Nicolas Renaud left his career as a history teacher to pursue his passion for wine. Inspired by natural wine icons like Éric Pfifferling (Anglore), he now farms 18 hectares biodynamically, across a mosaic of plots in Tavel, Lirac, and the Rhône Valley.

🌿 Philosophy

• Certified biodynamic farming, no chemical inputs.

• Natural winemaking: native yeasts, no fining or filtration, zero or minimal sulfur.

• Respect for life, intuitive and artisanal approach.

🍇 Grapes and Style

• Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Viognier, Muscat, Picpoul…

• Light, fluid, digestible wines, often skin-contact, with great drinkability and free terroir expression.
