Olivier Rivière, born in Cognac, trained in Bordeaux and Burgundy (at Domaine Leroy) before Telmo Rodríguez brought him to Spain in 2004 to convert vineyards to biodynamics. In 2006 he launched his own project in Rioja, known for elegant, precise wines with a strong sense of place. In 2022 he added Les Jardins d’Édina, a Bordeaux estate in Côtes de Bourg named after his daughter, Edina, which draws on the idea of a garden of abundance and makes organic, hand-harvested wines focused on freshness and site.
