Bordeaux, France · Red Wine · Medium Bodied

Fabrice Domercq is an artist from Paris. Jasper Morrison is an industrial designer from London. They have run Ormiale together since 2007, now based in the heart of Saint-Émilion, farming Demeter-certified vines and working the way almost nobody in Bordeaux works. Their stated principle is that the hand should stay present at every stage, and that technology gets replaced by touch, time and terroir. Grapes are destemmed by hand, nothing is added, and the raising is watched rather than managed. What comes out is Bordeaux with the armour removed: red and dark berries, a graphite edge, a fine savoury grip and a freshness the appellation rarely bothers with.

Pairing Suggestions

Bordeaux made by an artist and a designer, which explains a fair amount.
Its savoury grip wants charcoal: babi panggang, or duck cooked over coals.
Or roast beef, with more horseradish than is advisable.

About Ormiale

Founded in 2007 by Fabrice and Jasper, Ormiale began as a deeply personal project rooted in curiosity, patience, and a desire to work outside convention. Based in an old limestone quarry in the heart of Saint-Émilion, the estate operates beyond appellation constraints, allowing complete freedom in both the vineyard and the cellar.

Farming is thoughtful and hands-on, while winemaking follows a low-intervention approach: native fermentations, no fining or filtration, and extended ageing that often stretches over years. Some cuvées evolve slowly on lees or under a veil of yeast, developing texture and quiet complexity over time. One might argue, Fabrice is an artist and grape juices is his medium of choice for this project.

Ormiale’s wines are unforced and expressive, offering an intimate, alternative vision of not just wines from Bordeaux but wines in itself, one shaped by trust in the land, the vintage, and time itself.
