How did the Vine Guardians start?
We were contacted in 2021 by our friend Wendy Gedney, owner of Vin en Vacances (wine and food tours company). Wendy had heard of the terrible frosts of that April which had badly affected us and many other viticulteurs in our region and beyond and she, along with her colleague Kate, wanted to help out in some way.
With this in mind they created the Guardian program, which was launched in June 2021 and we have to say, has been a fantastic success!
Wendy's words about the guardianship program:
"We reached out to our customers offering them a chance to come to the rescue by adopting a row of vines in return for a case of wine and a deep-rooted connection to the Puy vineyard. The response was fantastic, and we now have well over a hundred Guardians. Their support has helped this small independent winemaker to overcome the damage, thrive again and continue to produce delicious Languedoc wines.
Guardians who have met Emmanuel Puy have found him to be a delightful young man who has a great passion for the land and the wine he produces in very small quantities. They have enjoyed the connection to his vineyard, and we were delighted that so many have renewed their Guardianships and continue to support him. Guardians enjoy seeing their name at the end of their row of vines, it’s like having your own little piece of a French vineyard.
We are grateful to The Princess & The Bear for taking the wines to the USA so that people there can also become Vine Guardians and receive wines directly to their door..."
