Les Athlètes du Vin

The name came to Fabrice Gendrot as a joke. Looking out the window of his office at a gym across the street, he thought: making wine is really a kind of sport. The idea stuck, and in 2016 Les Athlètes du Vin was born , a négociant project rooted in the Loire Valley and shaped by the Vini Be Good collective of natural winemakers.

Vini Be Good is a network of some of the Loire's most respected producers, and Les Athlètes du Vin is their shared label for a range of approachable, everyday natural wines. Fabrice Gendrot and Francis del Tedesco manage the project today, sourcing grapes from within the network and vinifying them using the same minimal-intervention principles that define each producer's own estate work.
