Celebrated by top Michelin-starred chefs, Denis Jeandeau had become a phenomenon. His wines were featured on the menus of acclaimed establishments such as Régis Marcon, Le Pré Catelan, Lameloise, L’Arpège, L’Ambroisie, and Guy Savoy, to name a few.

Deservedly awarded 2 stars in the Guide des meilleurs Vins de France (RVF) for several years, he was regarded as one of the greatest talents of his generation—a recognition we highlighted in our magazine, Racines, where we traced his journey and achievements.

We were deeply saddened by his passing, as over the years he had become not only a close collaborator but also a friend to Ventealapropriete.

Thanks to the strong relationship we built from the beginning, we were truly honored to be entrusted by his loved ones with the distribution of his final bottles.
