Chateau Pradeaux

Chateau Pradeaux (cf. post below), Bandol, does have a connection to Insead alumni, through Bruno Bizalion (MBA 81) who is a relation to the owner, and who is of course a great spokesman for the domaine (long time since we tasted the wine though).
They seem not to have a website.

Chateauonline update

I just learned that Henri Marie has sold Chateauonline (not a long time they remained owners...) to CL Brands ant that Poupinel (Wharton) has left. Cf. post below.

Domaine de Treille

Domaine de Treille in Gardie (near Limoux, one of the more bizarre French appellations - if you think about the AOC rules they have), owned by Pascal Eyt-Dessus ( MBA 71):
