Maison Sinnae celebrates 100 years of winemaking passion and invites you to experience the harvest of its centennial vintage
An exceptional morning to mark 100 years of passion and winemaking expertise in the heart of the Côtes du Rhône, in the presence of Pierre Rochefort, French actor and patron of this centennial vintage.
Since 1925, the Maison de Producteurs has united generations of Rhône Valley winegrowers around a common ambition: to reveal the richness of the Côtes du Rhône terroirs and to proudly bear the colors of its appellations.
To celebrate this anniversary, Maison Sinnae is organizing a unique event: The Harvest of the 100-Year-Old Vintage, on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at it winery, cituated in Laudun. A rare event, at the intersection of heritage, conviviality, and transmission. This collective harvest will produce a centennial cuvée in AOC Cru Laudun, the newest of the Côtes du Rhône Crus.
An exceptional patron: Pierre Rochefort
The centennial cuvée has the honor of being sponsored by Pierre Rochefort, a French actor renowned for his sensitive and intense roles in film and theater. The son of actor Jean Rochefort and actress and director Nicole Garcia, he has forged his own artistic path, with a unique style and remarkable presence. Committed and passionate, he brings a humanistic and generous outlook that echoes the values of Maison Sinnae: authenticity, transmission, and openness. This patron was chosen in close collaboration with the Opéra du Grand Avignon, a long-standing artistic partner of Maison Sinnae. This cultural partnership will give rise to a series of special events: several meetings with Pierre Rochefort will be organized throughout the year, on key dates, both at Maison Sinnae and at the Opera.
A symbolic and unifying moment
Beyond the immersive experience in the vineyards and cellar, this morning embodies Maison Sinnae’s desire to unite and bring people together around a moment of authentic sharing.
“Celebrating this centenary through the harvest is a powerful act: it honors the memory of those who built the domaine, but also affirms our desire to continue to innovate and promote our terroirs. This 100th anniversary harvest will be an opportunity to share with our audience a human and winemaking adventure that has been ongoing for over a century,” emphasizes Philippe Pellaton, President of Maison Sinnae.
An artistic creation for the 100th anniversary
To mark this centenary, the Maison commissioned artist Gaël Serre — a designer and visual artist based in Sète—to create an original work. Inspired by his family’s winemaking roots and the Mediterranean light, he created a creation that blends memory and transmission. His work, enriched by watercolors and delicate lines, captures the rhythm of the seasons, the vibrant colors of the vineyard, and the collective spirit that drives Maison Sinnae.
This work, which will adorn the centenary cuvée, becomes the artistic emblem of this anniversary. Gaël Serre will be present during the harvest and will offer a guided presentation of his work, offering guests an immersion into his creative world.
