LAURENT & ROMAIN

What LAURENT & ROMAIN does

Laurent & Romain is a privately held French wine producer (SAS, share capital €1,000) headquartered in Gornac, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, with a second site in Valros (Languedoc). Founded in 2010 by oenologist Laurent Gauzi — formerly of Oenoterra and previously a wine developer for the largest French wine house — and Romain Roux, a great-great-grandson of winegrowers from Entre-deux-Mers, the company operates a portfolio of more than 10 owned or managed châteaux and domaines spanning prestigious Bordeaux appellations (Saint-Estèphe, Margaux, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Entre-deux-Mers) and Languedoc, alongside three proprietary brands — Provenance, Le Dahut, and Les Amants de Septembre — and a custom/private-label wine service ("marque sur mesure"). Total reported vineyard area across the portfolio exceeds 200 hectares, anchored by Château Jourdan (100 Ha), Château Plagnac (39 Ha), Château Pontey (14.5 Ha, 35-year-old vines), and Château Puy Castéra (Saint-Estèphe, formerly under Henri Marès).

The company's core technology is sustainable viticulture certified at HVE3 (Haute Valeur Environnementale Level 3) and Terra Vitis across all wines, with full traceability from grape to bottle and a stated expertise in the "art of blending" to elevate terroir expression. The product range spans IGP and AOC wines, including organic ("bio") and sulphite-free lines, and has won multiple gold and silver medals at international competitions (Concours Mondial Bruxelles, Citadelles du Vin, Decanter, Berliner Wein Trophy, Frankfurt International Trophy, Gilbert & Gaillard, 70 Millions de Dégustateurs) for vintages 2019–2021.

Laurent & Romain sells through three parallel channels: traditional French wine merchants and distributors, supermarket and retail chains, and direct B2B sales managed by Sales Director France Numa GABAUDAN. A multilingual website supporting eight languages (French, English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German) and a dedicated export contact ([email protected]) indicate an emerging international B2B push. The company is privately funded with no disclosed external investment, reports 50+ collaborators (versus 12 employees per firmographic records), and has no parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A history disclosed.
