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

The estate comprises 5 hectares of vines. All plots are located 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, Chardonnay Musqué, Gamay, and Pinot Noir. New plantings are underway or planned, including Syrah and Aligoté.

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