Maison Chape

Maison Chape is a French wine brand established in 2024 and self-described as a "créateur de vins d'Occitanie" — a creator of Occitan wines. Its identity is built around four stated values: creativity, commitment, respect and happiness. The house positions its wines as approachable and social, summed up by the line "des vins faits pour être partagés, pas expliqués" (wines made to be shared, not explained). The brand works across two broad southern French regions, the Sud-Ouest (Southwest) and the Languedoc, and organises its output into clearly named ranges. These include Accord Parfait, a ten-cuvée AOP and terroir collection spanning appellations such as Pic Saint-Loup, Faugères, Fitou, La Clape Rouge, La Clape Blanc, Picpoul de Pinet, Terrasses du Larzac, Cahors, Fronton and Madiran; Ciel & Terre, five cuvées built on emblematic Occitan grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Carignan, Malbec, Chardonnay and Viognier); Nomad, four "travelling grape" cuvées (Albariño, Alicante, Primitivo and Sangiovese); Gaston, four organic and resistant-grape wines in red, rosé, dry white and sweet white; Jeux de Mains, two disruptive cuvées (Chenin and Blouge); Hautes Craies, two oaked organic wines (Chardonnay and Syrah); and the Rosé Social Club, a 10° IGP Côtes de Thau rosé. The portfolio also includes Kosmo Zero°, a non-alcoholic sparkling rosé made from Gamay and Merlot, presented as inclusive and universal. Maison Chape emphasises environmental certification, with ranges carrying HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) and BIO designations. Its marketing language is deliberately contemporary and accessible, using range names, grape varieties and appellations as the main signposts rather than traditional château-style branding. The brand is aimed at consumers looking for sincere, generous and modern wines from Occitanie, and it presents itself as a young house with a strong regional focus.

Maison Chape was established in 2024, according to its official website, which presents the house as a "créateur de vins d'Occitanie." The brand emerged as a young wine project focused on the Occitanie region of southern France, working across the Southwest and the Languedoc. From the outset it organised its production into distinct ranges rather than a single estate wine, allowing it to combine appellation wines, varietal wines, organic wines and a non-alcoholic sparkling wine under one identity. The house's stated values — creativity, commitment, respect and happiness — frame its approach to both winemaking and communication. Its portfolio is structured around several collections. Accord Parfait gathers ten cuvées from major appellations including Pic Saint-Loup, Faugères, Fitou, La Clape Rouge, La Clape Blanc, Picpoul de Pinet, Terrasses du Larzac, Cahors, Fronton and Madiran, described as making the great appellations readable. Ciel & Terre offers five cuvées from emblematic Occitan grape varieties — Pinot Noir, Carignan, Malbec, Chardonnay and Viognier — and carries HVE certification. Nomad presents four cuvées from travelling grape varieties (Albariño, Alicante, Primitivo and Sangiovese) under the idea of being born here but inspired elsewhere. Gaston focuses on organic and resistant grape varieties rooted in Southwest terroirs, with red, rosé, dry white and sweet white wines. Jeux de Mains takes a disruptive approach with two cuvées, Chenin and Blouge, placing a grape variety where it is not expected. Hautes Craies offers two oaked organic wines, Chardonnay and Syrah, positioned as demanding wines not opened every day. Rosé Social Club is a 10° IGP Côtes de Thau rosé marketed around a social, groove-and-chill lifestyle. Kosmo Zero°, a sparkling rosé made from Gamay and Merlot, extends the range into the no-alcohol category with an inclusive, universal message. Because the brand was founded in 2024, its history is still short and is defined primarily by the launch and structuring of these ranges rather than by long-established estate traditions. The official website serves as the main public record of its identity, values and portfolio.
