Les Bariolés is the trading company of Edoardo Veltroni and Claire Freist from Domaine des Terres Bariolées. In view of difficult vintages, Claire and Edoardo decided to launch their trading company. The guiding principle? Well-sourced organic or biodynamic grapes, always with a portion of Muscat Chardonnay from the estate, for joyful, unadulterated wines that bring undisguised pleasure.

The estate Les Terres Bariolées was created in 2022 by Edoardo Veltroni and Claire Freist. They met while both working in prestigious Burgundy appellations. 

The estate has 5 hectares of vines. All parcels are spread around the small village of Chalus, at an altitude of 600 meters. Chalus is located south of Issoire, near Boudes. The grape varieties consist of Chardonnay, Muscat Chardonnay, Gamay, and Pinot Noir. Plantings of Syrah and Aligoté, among others, are underway or planned. 

The vines are cultivated organically, while drawing inspiration from biodynamic practices. In the cellar, vinification is carried out without inputs, and the wines are most often bottled without added sulfur.
