The Founders of the Estate
Excellence and innovation, while respecting the environment, are at the heart of our approach.
Founder Winemaker & Oenologist
Fabien Gross
His passion for oenology was born during his biology studies in Colmar. He continued his studies with a national diploma in oenology and a master’s degree in international wine and spirits trade.
His academic background is also enriched by his London Wine Spirit & Education Trust diploma, and he is currently working towards the prestigious title of Master of Wine, a major distinction in the wine world.
The Villa Noria adventure represents an opportunity for Fabien to put into practice the knowledge he has acquired over 30 years of experience, while adopting an approach that respects nature and the environment.
Founder & Winemaker
Cédric Arnaud
A winemaker since the age of 20, he began his career alongside his grandfather with a few hectares of vines.
A passionate winemaker, he studied viticulture and earned a BTS (Higher National Diploma in Wine and Oenology). Always seeking new experiences, he never hesitates to put them into practice, whether working independently or in collaboration with other partners.
His commitment to the Villa Noria estate is unwavering. He believes organic farming is not an end in itself, but rather an essential starting point.
