WINEMAKER

Tino Kuban

With his own label Maison Glandien and the deeply personal project Les Jardins Vivants, Tino Kuban has become one of the most exciting young names in Burgundy. Based in Meursault, he works across three lines: Maison Glandien as a négociant project sourcing organic grapes from trusted growers across Burgundy, Jura, Beaujolais and Alsace — and Les Jardins Vivants, his most personal work, made from meticulously hand-tended vines and aged in new Stockinger barrels for depth, tension and longevity.

The story continued with 2024 and 2025, each at around 800 bottles, shaped by the same philosophy but with a clear evolution: more structure, more intensity, more depth, without losing clarity or energy. A modern Burgundy-rooted project—quietly confident, seriously crafted, and made for people who actually open the bottle.

Tino’s career has seen him working in some of the world’s most prestigious wineries, spanning continents from South Africa and New Zealand to the Jura and Rhône regions. His time with Thomas Teibert at Domaine de l’Horizon have only added to his impressive resume.

Known for his uncompromising standards, Tino Kuban’s wines are celebrated for their pure, crystal-clear fruit flavors, concentrated and rich, offering a tasting experience that is truly mouthwatering. His dedication to his craft and his ability to produce wines that consistently exceed expectations make him a winemaker to watch and a true asset to the wine world.
