Chêne Bleu: From the Rhône Valley to Hollywood
Some wines quietly earn their reputation among collectors and sommeliers.
Others become part of popular culture.
Over the last few years, Chêne Bleu has managed to do both.
The iconic Rhône producer has appeared in the hit HBO series Succession and has now reportedly featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2 — putting one of France’s most respected boutique wineries firmly in the spotlight.
At Wine Monkey, we’re proud to be the official UK retailer for Chêne Bleu wines, bringing these exceptional bottles directly to wine lovers who want something beyond the ordinary.
Why Is Everyone Talking About Chêne Bleu?
Nestled high in the hills of Provence on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, Chêne Bleu has built a cult following for producing elegant, small-production wines that combine Rhône power with remarkable finesse.
Founded at the historic La Verrière estate, the winery has become internationally recognised for:
- sustainable and biodynamic vineyard practices
- low-intervention winemaking
- tiny production quantities
- exceptional ageing potential
- critical acclaim from wine critics worldwide
Their wines are already favourites among sommeliers, collectors, and Michelin-starred restaurants — but recent appearances in film and television have introduced the label to an even wider audience
Chêne Bleu in Succession
HBO’s Succession became famous for its obsession with luxury, status, and elite taste.
So when Chêne Bleu appeared in Season 1, it immediately caught the attention of wine lovers.
Chêne Bleu’s appearance in Succession even generated discussion among wine enthusiasts online, with viewers taking to Reddit to identify the bottle featured in the series.
The series is packed with subtle details designed to reflect wealth, exclusivity, and refined taste — and Chêne Bleu fits naturally into that world.
Unlike mass-market prestige brands, Chêne Bleu represents something more understated: a wine known by people who truly understand wine.
That alignment with Succession’s world of quiet luxury helped cement the winery’s reputation as a bottle for discerning drinkers rather than trend-followers.
Now Featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2
The upcoming The Devil Wears Prada 2 continues the franchise’s association with style, luxury, and sophisticated living.
With the sequel already generating major attention across fashion and entertainment media, the appearance of Chêne Bleu once again places the winery in elite company.
Much like the original film, The Devil Wears Prada 2 celebrates craftsmanship, exclusivity, and impeccable taste — values that align perfectly with the philosophy behind Chêne Bleu.
For wine lovers, it’s another sign that this isn’t just a great wine.It’s a recognised luxury brand with genuine substance behind it.

What Makes Chêne Bleu Special?
There are plenty of famous wines. Very few live up to the hype.
What makes Chêne Bleu stand apart is that the wines genuinely deliver on quality.
The estate sits at altitude on limestone-rich soils, allowing grapes to ripen slowly while maintaining freshness and structure. The result is wines with remarkable balance, complexity, and longevity.
Depending on the cuvée, expect:
- dark berry fruit
- herbs and wild garrigue
- spice and black pepper
- mineral freshness
- silky tannins
- exceptional depth and elegance
These are wines designed not just to impress on first taste, but to evolve beautifully over time
