N&G FAGOTTO BIO CONSULTANTS

What N&G FAGOTTO BIO CONSULTANTS does

N&G Fagotto Bio Consultants is a French viticultural consulting firm founded in 2015 by Nicola Fagotto and Gaelle Barbereau Fagotto and headquartered in Petit-Palais-et-Cornemps, in the Bordeaux wine region. The firm advises professional wine estates on the transition to and ongoing practice of organic, biodynamic, and regenerative viticulture. Its core methodology centres on soil and vine health, with services that combine field observation, chromatography-based diagnostics, soil regeneration techniques, compost teas, biofertilization, massale selection, and physiological pruning, alongside low-intervention cellar practices (zero-sulfur vinification, gentle extraction, indigenous yeasts).

The firm's offering is structured in three service lines: "Suivi Physiobiologique & Structurel" (soil and vine monitoring), "Suivi Chais" (full-cycle cellar and winemaking accompaniment), and "Formations" (Qualiopi-certified vocational training delivered in inter-company or intra-company formats). The training line is registered for funding through French agricultural vocational channels OCAPIAT and Vivea. The founders' credentials are anchored in direct mentorship from leading figures in soil science and biodynamic winemaking (Claude Bourguignon, François Bouchet, Daniel Brehm, Stéphane Derenoncourt) and a track record of organic/biodynamic certification across multiple Bordeaux estates.

The business operates as a high-touch professional-services practice with no SaaS, digital product, or intermediary distribution layer. Engagements are delivered on-site at client vineyards and cellars, primarily within the Bordeaux/Saint-Émilion region, and are priced per engagement on a quote basis. Marketing is relationship-driven, relying on the founders' reputations, industry credentials, and referrals rather than broad digital demand generation. Revenue is generated through two streams: bespoke consulting contracts and fundable training sessions. No external funding, M&A activity, or expansion beyond the two co-founders is evidenced in the available data.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• LAMS (Laboratoire d'Analyse Microbiologique des Sols): Claude Bourguignon's soil microbiology laboratory and consultancy, which provides soil biological analysis and regenerative agriculture advisory to vineyards — directly comparable to N&G Fagotto's physiobiological monitoring offering and rooted in the same mentor network.
• Stéphane Mariot Œnologie: Independent Bordeaux-based oenological consultancy offering lab analysis and winemaking advisory to wine estates — a close functional analog to N&G Fagotto's cellar/Suivi Chais offering, though with less viticultural emphasis.
• Dubernet Laboratories: Bordeaux oenological analysis laboratory and consulting practice working with estates on vinification and cellar decisions — overlaps with N&G Fagotto in providing technical winemaking services to French wine producers.
• Derenoncourt Consultants: Stephane Derenoncourt's Bordeaux-based wine consultancy offering both viticultural and oenological advisory to premium estates — the same founder-mentor relationship N&G Fagotto comes from, making it the closest comparable in services, geography, and client profile.

Broad incumbents

• Cabinet d'Oenologie Michel Rolland: Long-established Bordeaux oenological consulting firm serving a global roster of premium wineries; much broader client base and longer track record, but operates in the same consultant-to-premium-estates category as N&G Fagotto's Suivi Chais service.
• ETS Jean-Pierre Moueix: Libourne-based negociant and producer group that also supports winemaking and vineyard practices for Right Bank Bordeaux estates — overlaps with N&G Fagotto in advising Pomerol/Saint-Emilion clients on organic and biodynamic transitions.

Emerging players

• Œnoconseil: French viticultural and oenological consultancy supporting wine estates on both vineyard and cellar decisions; similar boutique profile to N&G Fagotto and a comparable buyer of QUALIOPI-style training partnerships.

Others

• Lallemand Œnologie: Global supplier of yeasts, bacteria, and fermentation aids to the wine industry; not a direct competitor but an adjacent ecosystem participant whose native-yeast and low-SO2 narratives intersect with the same regenerative/low-intervention positioning N&G Fagotto sells.
