If a date had to be written in stone, it would be 1690, the year the family acquired the mythical property Ausone. Since then, one generation has followed another until the 11th, with the arrival of Alain Vauthier’s children, in charge of the six vineyards (Château Ausone, Château La Clotte, Château Moulin-Saint-Georges, Château Haut-Simard, Château Simard, Château de Fonbel) now nurtured by the family. Through their respective backgrounds and intuitions, Pauline, Édouard and Constance have found their roles around shared values of high standards, simplicity and discretion.
This land and family heritage forms a hereditary and deep-rooted link to the terroirs of Saint-Émilion, so close and so different at the same time.
11TH GENERATION OF WINEGROWER
Edouard Vauthier
With a dual background in viticulture-oenology and business, Édouard spent five years in Asia developing the commercial presence of the wines. Upon returning to France in 2019, he naturally joined the family estate, where he oversees hospitality and client relations, as well as the international representation of the wines. Deeply involved in production, he also supervises every stage of the winemaking process. Equally at ease driving a tractor or boarding a plane, he perfectly embodies the versatility of Vignobles Vauthier.
Constance Vauthier
After seven years working as an equine veterinarian, Constance chose to join the family estate during the 2020 harvest. Working alongside her brother, she contributes to the winemaking process and the management of the vineyards. She also oversees the estate’s administrative, accounting, and legal matters, while coordinating restructuring projects and renovation works. Deeply committed to innovation, she is also developing the estate’s Research & Development division.
