Wine is an ode to good living! After being at the forefront of representing family-owned, organic wine estates from the Languedoc, I choose to bring together several distinctive small size family estates, amongst those who are giving the most genuine expression of their region, to bring their wine abroad. As a group we create a dynamic, large choice and logistic advantages for our partners. It would simply not happen without this team enthusiasm. In addition, sommellerie is a bridge between the wine and its enjoyment through good pairing, hence our interest in restaurants, wine bars, epicurean associations which support our values. Thanks to its simple, yet unique pleasures, wine is providing a nourishment of the body which becomes nourishment for the mind. Just like good food, with temperance, it brings well-being and inspires creativity, it is an interior journey of exploration or simply a moment to share with friends

Nathalie Taquet
In 2018, I took a bold leap: moving to Australia with my husband and our three children for an international adventure. After 15 years as a research scientist, I was ready to build something that truly reflected who I am—something meaningful, exciting, and full of purpose. Australia was a breath of fresh air, but one thing surprised me immediately: walking into a bottle shop, I found it hard to choose a good bottle of wine. Labels felt generic, stories were missing, and the soul of the wine—its region, its maker, its journey—was nowhere to be found. Coming from a French family deeply rooted in the wine world, I felt something important was missing. What moves me most about wine is the human connection behind every bottle—the landscape, the seasons, the hands that shape it, and the legacy it carries. I’ve always believed that wine isn’t just a drink—it’s a story waiting to be shared. That deep emotional connection to wine is what inspired me to create Bottli. We are passionate about bringing meaning, authenticity, and discovery to every experience.
