Meet Brigitte and Éric Destouet

Brigitte and Éric Destouet are Bordeaux winemakers dedicated to crafting authentic, terroir driven wines with a strong focus on sustainability and precision. As stewards of their family estate, they have built a reputation for producing wines that balance tradition with a modern, quality focused approach. Working on clay limestone soils typical of the Right Bank, the Destouets emphasize careful vineyard management, low yields, and respect for the natural environment. Their philosophy centers on preserving soil health and biodiversity, ensuring that each vintage reflects the character of the terroir. Specializing in classic Bordeaux varietals such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Brigitte and Éric Destouet adopt a low intervention approach in the cellar. Native yeast fermentation, gentle extraction, and controlled aging allow the wines to express purity, structure, and balance, while maintaining freshness and elegance. At Origine, we feature Brigitte and Éric Destouet as part of our premium French selection, highlighting winemakers who combine authenticity, craftsmanship, and terroir expression. Their wines reflect a refined and approachable style of Bordeaux elegant, expressive, and true to their origin.
