i. Biography
At Clos Troteligotte in Villeseque, Emmanuel Rybinski’s work is organized around site, long tenure, and methods that stay close to the ground. Since 2004, the Normandy-born winemaker has tied the estate to organic farming and biodynamics, with recent bottlings such as K-Barré 2023, Waż-K Pet Nat 2022, and K-Libre Chenin 2022 marking that approach in the cellar.

Where They Are Now
Since 2004, Rybinski has worked as winemaker at the estate in Villeseque. The role is defined less by a title change than by continuity of place, duration, and the wines that bear his name. The current range gives a clear reading of that practice: K-Barré 2023, Waż-K Pet Nat 2022, and K-Libre Chenin 2022 each show the estate’s work through a named bottling rather than a generic style. Organic farming came first in the sequence; biodynamics followed later, entering the work in 2015.
Signature
Emmanuel's signature wines include K-Barré 2023, Waż-K Pet Nat 2022, K-Libre Chenin 2022, K-Lys Malbec, and K-Or Malbec.
In Their Words “Technically, in my experience, organic is the base, the classic, the essential.” “Biodynamics, we've only been doing it since 2015.”
