WINETASTIC
Maison A&S
Nantoux - Burgundy
Maison A&S was established in 2018 by a young duo of winemakers and longtime friends from Burgundy – Pierre-Alexandre Soltana and Alexandre Aires, with the idea to set up a high quality micro-négoce activity, from the sourcing of the grapes to the maturation.
While searching for a suitable infrastructure, they began their journey by renting a 17th-century vaulted cellar in Chagny, where they crafted their first three vintages: 2018, 2019, and 2020.
In 2021, they acquired a winery and a few plots around Nantoux and Pommard in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune region, focus in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as Aligoté.While developing their own project, Pierre-Alexandre is currently the head of viticulture at Domaine des Comtes Lafon, while Alexandre is the cellar master at Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair.
Respecting the traditional ways of Burgundy while bringing a fresh modern eye, Maison A&S is definitely a duo to watch.
