Tom Hills bought two dry-farmed vineyards in 2015, in Saint-Nazaire-de-Ladarez, in the Saint-Chinian region of the Languedoc, 45 minutes’ drive from Béziers. He combined the two to create Domaine La Lauzeta, and immediately began organic conversion.
He has quickly gained recognition, garnering praise from wine luminaries Jancis Robinson, Tamlyn Currin and Jeb Dunnock, and his wines are listed at 17 Michelin starred restaurants in Paris.
The estate is overseen by Florian Bruneau, a young Norman, who is passionate about sustainability, organics, biodynamics and low intervention winemaking and as well as being a very talented winemaker. He has worked all around the world in his short but impressive career to date – including Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Corsica, Barossa Valley and Napa Valley.
We are the sole UK importer and distributor for La Lauzeta wines.
