Sylvie Augereau
For two decades, wine journalist Sylvie Augereau has been organizing La Dive Bouteille — the world’s most renowned natural wine festival.

Behind the Bottle
Producing only 3000 bottles a year on her 1.5 hectares, Sylvie is all natural and biodynamic in both the cellar and vineyards — even expressing certain grapes in clay amphorae and Qvevri, following ancestral principles.
As a scholar and lover of natural wine, she knows exactly what she wants to make as a producer, and does it with skill, precision, and respect for her land and all who came before. She’s quickly become a natural wine icon in her own right.
