Ostal Levant

Louis and Charlotte Perot spent their early careers in Paris, Louis in book sales and Charlotte in publishing, until the natural wine world pulled them south. In 2012 they began making wine in the Lot; by 2015 they had settled their hillside farmstead at Alary, above Puy-l'Eveque, and L'Ostal Levant became a proper estate. The name, Occitan for "the house facing east," is a nod to both the architecture of their home and their orientation toward freshness and light in everything they make.

Louis studied viticulture at the Lycee Viticole in Beaune before interning with nearby natural winemaker Simon Busser, who lent the couple their first parcel. From that careful apprenticeship came an estate that has grown steadily since 2012. The initial focus was Malbec, Cahors's defining grape; since 2016 the Perots have expanded their plantings to include Mauzac, Loin de l'Oeil, Chenin, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Muscat a Petit Grain, and Chamboursin, reflecting a broad curiosity about what the Lot's highlands can express. Their farmstead includes a limestone cave that serves as the barrel cellar.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our Ostal Levant producer profile.
