Take My Coconut

Domaine des Barbatruks is a micro-estate in the Jura region of France, established in 2017 by Maxim Lannay and later joined by partner Isabelle Delahaye. Maxim's journey into wine began uniquely as a high school history student of the legendary Jura natural winemaker Raphaël Monnier. He went on to train at the biodynamic pioneer Domaine Villet and spent two formative years working under Alice Bouvot at the iconic Domaine de l'Octavin. Operating from just over one hectare of vines around Arbois, the couple practices hands-on, biodynamic viticulture. The estate's playful name is a nod to the French cartoon Barbapapa and its magical catchphrase 'Barbatruc!', reflecting their whimsical yet deeply dedicated approach to natural winemaking.
