Gregory Hecht and François Bannier first met many years ago during a study trip through Burgundy. One went on to become a successful wine buyer, the other worked with renowned Champagne houses — but both shared the same dream: to craft their own exceptional cuvées.

Since 2001, they have explored the diverse terroirs of Southern France’s vibrant wine regions together. As négociants, Hecht & Bannier source their grapes from selected growers, carefully choosing only the finest fruit each harvest. This freedom, combined with their deep expertise in the art of blending, allows them to create standout wines year after year.

The result: expressive, meticulously crafted wines that showcase the best of Southern France — and the vision of two passionate winemakers. The sun-drenched Mediterranean coast of Languedoc, with its diverse terroirs, proved the perfect canvas for their vision. This exclusive BASF blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignane captures the region’s spirit in a silky, fruit-forward wine. Brimming with dark berry flavors and accented by notes of dried plum and chocolate, it is as elegant as it is expressive.
