YoYo

Laurence Manya Krief spent her career in the Paris textile industry as a sales director before deciding that the materialistic environment she had built her professional life around no longer suited her. At 35, she relocated to Banyuls-sur-Mer near her hometown of Perpignan, purchased abandoned terraced vineyards on steep coastal slopes, and became a winemaker. The local nickname Yoyo, which she had always carried, became the name of her domaine.

Krief converted her vineyards to organic farming from the outset in 2008, a commitment that was as much philosophical as practical given the terrain she was working. The abandoned plots she took on had survived because machines could not reach them. She decided to keep it that way, using her mule Uma and horse labor to work land that conventional viticulture had left behind. The estate now farms around five to seven hectares of old vines between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees.
