Villa Amélie

Villa Amelie began with a love story... In 1890 Louis Pugibet fell in love with a winegrower’s daughter and received his first hectare of vines as part of his dowry. Shortly thereafter he purchased the neighboring land and named the estate “La Colombette.” In 1966 Francois Pugibet took the reins, and became known for his Chardonnay but also planted Grenache, Syrah, Sauvignon and finally Pinot Noir.

Vincent joined his father and took the next steps in innovation and created “Villa Amelie.” They began a light range of wine focusing on low alcohol and in the 2000s created a line of “de-alcoholized” wines using only grapes and ingredients sourced from their vineyards.  Little by little they continue to grow the domain, purchasing vineyards around Beziers and a new organic winery in Agde. Their philosophy has always been winemaking through innovation and the next steps will be focusing on their organic vineyards and ensuring the future for the 5th generation.
