Keira Knightley Sells French Vineyard Where She Married, Citing Demands of Organic Winemaking

Knightley says the hands-on organic work made the project unsustainable.

Overview

  • Knightley confirmed on the Dish from Waitrose podcast that she and James Righton no longer own Les Cinq Puits near Mont Ventoux in France.
  • She described producing small, organic batches of wine, including five cuvées of Grenache made with manual techniques such as grape stamping.
  • Reports have valued the property at about £3 million, with the wines released in limited quantities under the Ventoux label.
  • UK outlets report the venture worked with local winemakers Luc and Sandrine Guenard and sold through specialist retailers rather than mass-market channels.
  • As background, Knightley has recently emphasized staying based in London and choosing work selectively while raising her two children.
