The Relevance of Spirituality in Winemaking

Does spirituality have a role in winemaking?

Where else to have this conversation than in Burgundy, the region that claims 1,000 years of a wine history that began with monks. We sat down with Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée Conti, who is not just acknowledged as one of the greatest winemakers of all time, but also one of the most spiritual.

We were joined by Ted Lemon, owner of Littorai in Sonoma, a deep thinker, who articulated his vision for winemaking.

The conversation ranged across what spirituality means in the context of fine wine today, but also how it influenced the historic growth and development of wine.

It was the most unconventional discussion that Areni Global has ever hosted, but also one of the most meaningful.
