We forge strong links with
the finest wine estates
Since 2009, Arnaud and his wife Isabelle have established Avitus La Cave, located in the heart of the Vaucluse, nestled between the iconic Ventoux and Luberon mountains. Avitus is a premier wine merchant, specializing in the finest estates of the Rhône Valley, with exclusive access to legendary winemakers such as Emmanuel Reynaud of Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Louis Barruol of Château de St Cosme in Gigondas. Avitus also offers a selection of some of the best Burgundy estates, including Méo Camuzet in Vosne-Romanée, alongside other extraordinary appellations.
We hunt for the best values
among vinters and vintages
Arnaud de la Chanonie, born in the heart of Vaucluse, a stone's throw from the legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape, has always been immersed in the world of fine wines. Thanks to a network of loyal friendships with talented winemakers, both established and emerging, as well as solid experience in the Bordeaux wine trade, Arnaud maintains privileged relationships with the most reliable suppliers in the wine world.
