Laura Aillaud

Laura Aillaud has an atypical background, starting out as a sommelier in a restaurant, where she discovered the world of wine, particularly natural wine. She then decided to deepen her knowledge of the subject and undertook a BTS in Viticulture and Oenology. She did her first winemaking at Jean Christophe Comor's Les Terres Promises wine estate and continued her apprenticeship for 3 years before setting up her own business in her native Tour d'Aigues.

Laura Aillaud began with 3 hectares of leased land before buying 3 hectares of vines. The grape varieties are very varied, including Grenache Noir (around fifty years old), Syrah, Carignan, Counoise, Muscat d'Hambourg, Vermentino, Ugni Blanc and Roussanne. From the outset, all the vines have been cultivated organically and according to certain biodynamic principles, notably a very low dosage of sulfur.

Laura believes that this is the basis of a winemaker's work, the foundation for making great terroir wines. The vines are naturally grassed, so that they can draw deeply from the soil; no deep ploughing is required, and the work is as natural and artisanal as possible.

Laura Aillaud, a new generation of winemaker showing off her talent

In the cellar, all fermentations are carried out spontaneously, so there's no artifice in her wines, only the pure generosity that emanates from the Luberon terroir, brought to the fore by this highly talented winemaker in osmosis with her vines and her environment!

Production is extremely limited, as are quantities. As a result, we have very few wines in stock, and enormous demand. Mundovin presents her entire range of wines, including the white cuvées Long Courrier Blanc and Libre comme l'Air, and the red cuvées Long Courrier Rouge, Terre à Terre, Tout feu tout femme, Exlibris and Amorcito.
