Gwendolyn Berger & Jean-Jacques Branger

Gwendolyn Berger and Jean-Jacques Branger are the winemaking couple behind Clos des B, located in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. After diverse careers in real estate, publishing, and high-level equestrian sports, they settled into this biodynamic haven with stunning terraced vineyards exposed to the maritime winds. Gwendolyn, a local, grew up in the vineyards and always dreamed of making her own wine. At 46, after studying oenology at the University of Wine in Suze-la-Rousse, she and Jean-Jacques purchased 2.7 hectares in Grimaud in 2019, followed by 6 hectares in Ramatuelle, and now a new vineyard of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Chenin, Rolle, and Syrah (massal selection from Saint-Joseph). Their wines, made without added sulfites, have completely captivated us: pure, energetic, fresh, saline, and deep. Provence here is expressed with audacity and finesse, thanks to the talent of this remarkable duo.
