When his body told him to stop, he did what few former dancers do: he enrolled at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga to study wine science, then flew to the south of France and started over. Les Clos Perdus , the lost vineyards , was founded in 2003 from a garage beneath his apartment in the village of Peyriac-de-Mer, with 1.5 hectares and no playbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul founded Les Clos Perdus with Hugo Stewart, though Hugo has since stepped away from the project. Today the winery is built around Paul Old and a small team, and in 2018 Faith Wilson , an arts PR professional who met Paul through the dance world , joined as an associate. What began as a single parcel garage project now spans 20 hectares across 32 to 35 distinct parcels. The name remains the key to the whole enterprise: tracking down abandoned old-vine parcels scattered across the Languedoc hillsides and bringing them back into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/les-clos-perdus\"\u003eLes Clos Perdus producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lannee-blanc-les-clos-perdus","title":"Les Clos Perdus L'Année Blanc NV","description":"\u003cp\u003eLes Clos Perdus L'Année Blanc is a white wine made from a blend of Macabeu, Grenache Gris, and Muscat farmed organically and biodynamically in the Languedoc, France.
