Catherine Roche met Christophe Megel in 2005; 20 years after she started Clovallon leaving her training as an architect following her dream into the World of wine. Against all odds, she created an estate in an unknown part of Languedoc with non-traditional grape varieties that were ridiculed by others. Her wines are now respected and revered and amongst the best in Languedoc. Rising to another challenge Catherine and Christophe bought vines in Faugeres appellation with traditional varieties to create a new domain and during this time was pushing the boundaries of viticulture in the direction of organic and biodynamic methods advancing her belief in producing natural and honest wines.

It was at this time Christophe met her and he felt he had found the perfect winemaker to work with and to make his own dream come true. Together they will work to create Cuvee 6469, a special wine that will marry the two continents together. Using both indigenous and new grape varietals coupled with organic growing methods, the 6469 winery’s first vintage produced in 2014 was a roaring success. Since then, we have been refining our craft to produce rich, deep red wines with hints of violet and spices; refreshing, fruity whites and crisp, sweet rosé wines.
