Vie Ordinaire

Henri Chauvet is revitalizing the Auvergne wine region with his biodynamic estate in Boudes. After a career in corporate banking, Henri pursued viticulture, training in the Rhône Valley under renowned winemakers like Thierry Allemand and Jérôme Bressy. In 2021, he took over a 10.5-hectare estate previously owned by iconic local winemaker Annie Sauvat, producing his first vintage.

The estate focuses on Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, grown on diverse soils including pink granite, quartz, and volcanic marble. Henri’s wines already showcase the region’s potential, with each cuvée reflecting the unique terroir and a deep connection to the land.
