There’s always a story. Always a meeting.
Wine is meant to be shared — told like a fairytale, full of “once upon a time…”
Neemia Tialata, a New Zealander and former professional rugby player, spent eight years playing beautiful rugby — from Bayonne in the Basque Country to Narbonne, via Toulouse, the “Pink City.”
The magic of the South worked its charm, and he and his family fell head over heels for the French way of life.
Of all the unforgettable things he’s experienced, one stands out: mealtimes.
Especially Sunday lunch — when time seems to pause.
Around a big table with family and friends, the world is put to rights.
People argue, laugh, cry, remember.
They eat and drink — good things, done well.
And above all, they take their time.
From these timeless moments, Neemia dreamt of bottling the secret:
The indulgence of a rosé, the velvet of a red, the citrus brightness of a white —
the feeling of a Sunday afternoon.
In a rehab centre in Toulouse, Neemia crossed paths with Camille Blanc.
Camille, from the tiny village of Ginestas in the Aude, shared his deep love for family, rugby, music, and wine — which he had studied for years.
Their friendship began over a few guitar chords.
In 2018, Camille invited Neemia to help hand-harvest a few family vines.
Even “Mameto,” Camille’s 93-year-old grandmother, joined in.
Grapes in hand, hearts full of joy.
A tradition of sharing.
That day, next to the vineyard, sat Camille’s uncle’s old 2CV.
A photo was taken — and in that moment, the idea was born.
Deux Chevaux.
Neemia and Camille teamed up, determined to create wine that reflected who they are.
Handcrafted wines from 15 hectares of vines across Ginestas, Canet d’Aude, and Argeliers, made with the support of local cooperative cellars.
Authentic. Local.
A wine that’s more than a drink — a symbol of friendship from two different corners of the world.
A wine that holds a secret:
How to turn a good moment into a lasting memory
