Both his grandfather and great-grandfather were winemakers and merchants in the Languedoc. Even his surname originates from the Occitan word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tastavin \u2013<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> people who worked the land and were in charge of the local lord&rsquo;s personal wine cellar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So Jos\u00e9 grew up among the vines, and there was never any doubt that he would become a winemaker. As a qualified oenologist, he joined Andrieu-Fulcrand in 1987, where he worked for five years. It was during this time that he met Pierre Degroote, who in 1992 created the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domaines Virginie<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Bernard Montariol and recruited Jos\u00e9 to the venture. In the same year they also brought in a certain Jo\u00ebl Baconin. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the space of 10 years, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domaines Virginie<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> grew from 5 to 100 staff and were acquired by Castel. Jos\u00e9 Tastavy wished to return to customised wines produced within a more modest-sized winegrowing estate, so in 1997, he established the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domaines des Marins<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, achieving a turnover of \u20ac1.5m in the first year of trading. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2000, he asked his friend Jo\u00ebl Baconin to join the enterprise \u2013 as an employee initially, then as a partner. As it strengthened its expertise, the business and its customer base grew. The result was a turnover of \u20ac19m in 2018.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/4&Prime;][vc_single_image image=\u00a0\u00bb1345&Prime; img_size=\u00a0\u00bbfull\u00a0\u00bb alignment=\u00a0\u00bbright\u00a0\u00bb][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00a0\u00bb3\/4&Prime;][title_subtitle title=\u00a0\u00bbJos\u00e9 Tastavy\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text]Jos\u00e9 Tastavy and wine go back a long way \u2013 a very long way.
