As the wine crisis hits the Libourne region hard, more and more winegrowers are considering diversifying their production. Among them, Adrien David-Beaulieu (owner of Ch. Coutet) is doing well, producing the first “made in France” soy sauces on his farm in Sainte-Terre, a few kilometers from Saint-Émilion.

Made entirely in a converted wine cellar from local ingredients (cereals grown in the Libourne region, salt from the Île de Ré, etc.), these artisanal sauces are a world away from the usual industrial concoctions.

SHINKO soy sauces are starting to make a name for themselves, and Brut recently featured them in a report:

From Thursday 31 July (evening) to Monday 25 August (morning), our offices and cellars will be closed while Maison DUBECQ disperses to regions where the vineyards are never far away.

The last shipments will take place on Monday 28 July (the weather forecast is favourable for next week), and will resume on Monday 25 August (depending on the weather at the time).

The 2024 Primeurs campaign will remain open during our summer closure, and the stock on our website will be kept up to date at all times: we will continue to take reservations (by post or on our website) in order of arrival, and pro forma confirmation invoices will be sent to you as soon as we return on 25 August.

The entire team at Maison DUBECQ wishes you a wonderful summer, as relaxing and refreshing as possible!

On 25 April, TV7 (the local TV channel of the Sud-Ouest newspaper) invited François-Xavier Maroteaux (Château Branaire-Ducru) and Élise Gruault to take part in its ‘Vino Veritas’ programme for a 27-minute owner/merchant exchange on the challenges of the ‘Primeurs 2024’.
