François Lurton
François Lurton is one of those winemakers who see borders not as an obstacle, but as an invitation. The Frenchman produces wine in three countries: France, Spain, and Argentina . And everywhere he has the same goal: wines that truly tell the story of their origin.
In the Languedoc, he cultivates Mas Janeil , where old vines and Mediterranean soils produce wines with distinctive character. With Les Fumées Blanches, Lurton also demonstrates how fresh and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc can be – when given the right space.
No uniform style, no formula – just genuine terroir wines with character. Exactly what we at Vinoscout appreciate.

François Lurton –
Winemakers without borders, wines with attitude
François Lurton is not a winemaker who stays in one place. The Frenchman from Bordeaux manages vineyards in three countries – France, Spain, and Argentina – and consistently pursues the same goal: wines that honestly reflect their place of origin, without formulas or a uniform style.
In the Languedoc region of southern France, he owns Mas Janeil, where old vines on Mediterranean soils produce wines with a distinctive character – dense, sun-ripened, but never heavy. With his Les Fumées Blanches line, Lurton demonstrates what Sauvignon Blanc can achieve when the location and harvest time are perfect: fresh citrus fruit, vibrant acidity, and a clear sense of origin.
What unites all his wines is a artisanal seriousness that doesn't hide behind marketing hype. Lurton works closely with the vineyard, closely with the terroir – whether in the Pyrenean foothills, on the Castilian plateau, or in the Andes. At Vinoscout, you'll find a selection that perfectly illustrates this diversity.
