Wine rated (2026 guide) 90/100
Rated estate (2025 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
With a committed, ethical, and responsible approach, Lionel Osmin created this eponymous haute couture wine merchant with the idea of breaking free from appellations to better highlight the grape variety and offer a simple and delicious interpretation of wines. Based in Pau, the company produces a varied range of around thirty cuvées, as well as a few Armagnacs. It is responsible for marketing Clos Joliette, a jewel of Jurançon, and the wines of the Berthoumieu estate. The range, crafted by Damiens Sartori, the key figure in winemaking, offers some very fine wines at all price points.

About the estate:
While he knows how to make wines from grapes grown elsewhere, Lionel Osmin is at his best when working with local produce, producing precise, refined terroir-driven wines. The Pau-based wine merchant and winegrower also offers a range of single-varietal wines: indigenous varieties, free from appellation restrictions, such as Prunelard, Abouriou, and Mauzac. Finally, Lionel Osmin produces a few curiosities, starting with a natural sweet wine made from Tannat and Malbec.
