Looking out over the beautiful bastide village of the Puylaroque in this beautiful corner of South West France. David and Sarah Meakin & Stuart Jones established the “Domaine du Merchien” in 1994. Brewing activities started in 2006.

The day to day running of Domaine du Merchien and Bière de Quercy has now been taken over by Zac Zachary with the help from their daughter Sophie-Tor and of course the resident Newfoundland “Louki”…

We have learnt that brewing is a mix of passion; science and creative thinking we make British style ales with a French Twist! Our beers are naturally carbonated and vegan, and not pasteurized, filtered, or tainted by natural preservatives.

At Merchien we encompass organic principles & produce our wine and beer as naturally as possible. The winery & brewery combines the best of the modern techniques with traditional beer and wine making methods.
The Vineyard & Brewery try to embraces the spirit of innovation.
