Join a shared human adventure with winemakers at the heart of an exceptional terroir. A unique investment: each year, you'll receive your “rent” in the form of bottles from your vineyard!
Saturday September 21st, 2024, after a morning of hand-harvesting and a convivial meal, we held our inaugural General Assembly… in a garden-party style.
For winemakers, acquiring a 15‑hectare estate in Lalande de Pomerol is a dream financially out of reach. But for wine lovers, owning a small share of that vineyard can become reality.
From this idea was born the Groupement Foncier Viticole (GFV) Les Premiers Capucins, initiated by Bordeaux winemakers Philippe Carretero and Fabien Guionneau.
The winemakers contributed just over €1 million to finance buildings, equipment, and stock. Their commitment extends beyond finances as they pour their know-how and energy into this estate.
Initially made up of clients and acquaintances, the GFV has already funded over 6 hectares and continues to grow. For each €4,000 share, associates receive an annual “rent” of 12 bottles of Château des Capucins in the AOC Lalande de Pomerol. For participating wine lovers, it’s the best return: bottles from their own vineyard!
Here, what is original (even exceptional) is the direct contact between the winegrowers and the investors. This is financially beneficial because the GFV acquires the vineyard plots at cost price, without any commission for an intermediary. It is also much more convivial: the partners get closer to the winegrowers and discover their profession through large gatherings (Open House Days, harvest days) and in a more intimate way during visits or stays at the Domaine’s guest rooms.
To date, 150 wine enthusiasts have joined this “win–win” project to support the winemakers.
Acquiring vineyard shares has never been so simple. his type of investment merges patrimonial value with tangible enjoyment : you receive, as rent each year, bottles of your own wine, perfect to taste, share, or gift. It also allows unique moments with winemakersclose to the terroir. Financially, it’s a stable, tangible investment based on rare land whose value historically outpaces inflation.

The SCI Capucins & Templiers targets corporate investors (SARL, SAS, SCI, holdings…) and foreign residents (who don’t benefit from GFV tax breaks). In 2025, only 100 shares are offered
directly by the winemakers at €4,000 each, with an annual "rent" of 12 bottles, rising to 15 bottles from the 5th year. This structure offers potential gain thanks to a highly
sought-after terroir and higher yield starting in 2029. This offer is based on a win-win model: investors gain an attractive placement, while winemakers benefit from two main advantages:
- Organic-certified vinew from 2025
- A brand with strong potential: Clos des Templiers
