Meet Estelle and Pierre Clavel

Estelle and Pierre Clavel are dynamic winemakers in Languedoc, leading Domaine Clavel with a strong commitment to organic farming, precision, and terroir driven wines. As part of a new generation, they continue to shape the identity of the estate by combining family heritage with a modern, sustainability focused approach. Working in the schist rich soils of the Faugères appellation, the Clavels benefit from a Mediterranean climate and hillside vineyards that produce wines with freshness, minerality, and structure. Their vineyard philosophy emphasizes biodiversity, manual harvesting, and minimal intervention to preserve the integrity of the terroir. Specializing in classic southern varietals such as Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, Estelle and Pierre Clavel craft wines that are expressive, balanced, and full of character. In the cellar, they follow a low intervention approach using native yeasts, gentle extraction, and restrained oak to maintain purity and elegance. At Origine, we feature Estelle and Pierre Clavel as part of our premium French selection, highlighting winemakers who combine authenticity, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Their wines reflect the vibrant and evolving identity of Languedoc fresh, precise, and deeply rooted in their origin.
