Louis-Antoine Luyt

Louis-Antoine Luyt arrived in Chile in 1998 with a three-month plan and no wine ambitions. What drew him south from his native Brittany was wanderlust, not viticulture. But after working as a dishwasher in a restaurant, becoming the wine buyer, and being introduced to Hector Vergara , then the only Master of Wine in South America , a different path opened. He returned to France, studied at Beaune, spent five harvests with Marcel Lapierre in Villié-Morgon, and came back to Chile with something to prove.

Luyt produced his first wines in 2006, co-founding Clos Ouvert with two partners. The devastating 2010 earthquake destroyed roughly 70% of his production, but also clarified his convictions: he eliminated sulfur entirely after that vintage, finding the wines became more precise and alive without it. He now works across three southern Chilean regions , Maule Valley, Bío Bío Valley, and Itata Valley , on a négociant model that combines rented plots with fruit sourced from 14 small family farmers.
