Thibault Lepoutre

Coming Up

Training at Université d’Excellence in Montpellier, France, gave Thibault Lepoutre a technical base before he moved into Argentine wine. Since then, the work has been defined less by style talk than by process: precision in the cellar, attention to texture and balance, and the discipline to make decisions in step with each vintage. His long-running role at Mundo Revès, since 2009, shows that continuity is part of the method as much as change.

Where They Are Now

At Mundo Revés in Mendoza, Argentina, the job is to turn site into clarity. Dry light, high-altitude conditions, and the pace of the region set the terms, but the wines still depend on Lepoutre’s judgment for shape and lift. That same discipline carries through to his leadership at Bodega Piedra Negra in Los Chacayes, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina, where the work stays tied to consistency, responsibility, and the repetition of regional cycles.

Signature

Thibault Lepoutre’s signature wines include Mundo Reves La Petit Voyage Criolla PetNat 2023, Asa Nisi Masa Bonarda – TS, and Les Quartz 2023. Read together, they point to a cellar language built around character, tension, and distinct phrasing from one wine to the next. The 2023 bottlings mark an active recent phase, with the range suggesting a maker who keeps individual wines separate in voice while keeping the larger approach legible.

Honors

Tim Atkin Argentina 2024 Special Report Medal of Excellence, White Wine Discovery of the Year. For Thibault Lepoutre, the recognition lands in the category that tends to matter most to peers: proof that disciplined work has registered beyond the cellar. It places his white wines within the 2024 conversation around Argentina, and it does so as a formal mark of quality rather than a decorative one.
