Special Relationships Laurent Terrisson, was born into a family of winegrowers and son of an oenologist Laurent started working in wine in 1988 when he was 21. Since that time, his passion for wine grew day by day especially when working for Cave de Tain l’Hermitage at the end of the 90’s. In 2002, he started his own business exporting hand-picked wines to America. He discovered great winegrowers and fantastic winemakers who shared his simple attitude to wines. Truly express their terroir. Let the fruit show itself and not to be exposed to oak when not necessary. The Wines are made by the actual winegrowers and produced in controlled quantities. Wines that offer immediate pleasure upon opening the bottle. And above all, they must be excellent values. This is the philosophy that he truly believes in and we do too.
