i. Biography
Marilyn Lasserre is winemaker at Céllier d'Eole in Rieux-Minervois, France. Her career biography is concise, but the shape of it is clear: training in Bordeaux, then the role that defines her work now, with winemaking at the center and terroir as the guiding thread.
Coming Up
Marilyn Lasserre trained at Bordeaux, and that early grounding remains the quiet architecture beneath her work. Bordeaux, with its long memory of structure, balance, and exacting craft, offered the foundation for a career built less on flourish than on focus. From there, her path narrowed toward the vineyard and cellar, where the details matter and every decision has a place in the finished wine. Today, Marilyn is winemaker of Céllier d'Eole, bringing that training into the daily rhythm of one estate and one purpose. The trajectory is direct, but it carries the weight of discipline: a move from study to practice, from learning to shaping, with winemaking firmly at the center.
Where They Are Now
At Céllier d'Eole, she works as winemaker, a role that places her at the heart of the estate’s expression. It is here, in Rieux-Minervois, France, that her approach takes form in the glass. The title may be brief, but the work behind it is measured in the layering of choices—how fruit is handled, how structure is preserved, how character is allowed to emerge without being overworked. Her position at Céllier d'Eole suggests continuity as much as responsibility: the steady, attentive labor of translating place into wine, season after season.
Signature
Marilyn's signature wines include Granbeau GSM Grande Réserve, Granbeau Rosé Grande Cuvée, Granbeau Préstige, and Les Argelières Cabernet Franc. Each name hints at a different register within her portfolio, from the composure of Granbeau GSM Grande Réserve to the brighter lift suggested by Granbeau Rosé Grande Cuvée, then onward to Granbeau Préstige and the more focused tone of Les Argelières Cabernet Franc. Together, they sketch a winemaker working across styles while keeping a consistent hand on balance and definition. The range is part of the story, but so is the coherence: wines that sit within one professional vision, yet speak in distinct voices.
