Volnay Red 2021

Domaine de Chassorney

This warm and straightforward wine from the Volnay appellation, with notes of red and black fruits, reveals itself on the palate to be balanced and lively, with lovely, gently spicy notes. On the nose, it has already expressed beautiful notes of red fruits (strawberry), spices, and candied fruits. On the palate, it is warm and powerful, with floral aromas and a great minerality on the finish. This Volnay comes from old Pinot Noir vines growing at the bottom of the slopes, on dense, stony soils of ferruginous red clay and limestone. The plots are steep, facing west-southeast and located between 230 and 280 meters above sea level. The vines are worked on horseback, respecting the soil and the earth. The harvest is manual and is carried out when the grapes are fully ripe. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Aging is approximately one year in barrels.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful wine-growing practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked as a wine broker for some time before creating the Domaine de Chassorney with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine trading house and buys organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais crus. The practice is not limited to Burgundy since vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura or Languedoc. At his home, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to biodynamic principles: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Reds or whites, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.

Volta Beer 2020, Cyclic Beer Farm

Cyclic Beer Farm
Packaged in 75 cl bottles so that everyone can satisfy their thirst, the beers from the Barcelona-based brewery Cyclic Beer Farm play between classicism and flights of inspiration, in a contrasting and creative way, in the Catalan style. Based on classic principles and a Belgian fermentation model, the two brewer-winemakers Joshua and Alberto play with ingredients, aromas, and macerations, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, and grape skins from Catalan grape varieties, to achieve flavors reminiscent of an unidentified drinkable object (OBNI). Whether they assert themselves through balance or a certain controlled dissonance, these beers will never leave you indifferent and will reveal their full potential in the summer heat, served well chilled.
Volta is a pilsner-style beer with an alcohol content of 4%. It was created in homage to a classic competition in Catalonia, the Volta Catalunya cycling race, which is celebrating its hundredth edition this year (2021). The brew is made from organic pilsner malt and malted wheat flakes. The infusion is then made with organic lemon juice and zest as well as Ceylon black tea. The color is pale yellow, slightly cloudy. On the nose, a great freshness is immediately evident. On the palate, we perceive a very nice lemony acidity where the sour bite of the lemon juice is felt more than the aroma of the zest. The slightly tannic and floral note of Ceylon tea plays in the background. A very nice, expertly balanced success from Cyclic brewers, whose name, for the occasion, matches the one they gave to this beer.

Vosne Romanée les Champs Perdrix Rouge, 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Interprète libre des climats nobles

Toujours fidèle à sa démarche nature sans compromis, Frédéric Cossard explore les plus grands terroirs bourguignons avec un regard neuf. Sans label mais sans intrants, il laisse parler le raisin, le sol et le millésime. Aucun ajout, pas de levures de laboratoire, zéro chimie : ses vins naissent libres, précis, profonds.

Vosne-Romanée Les Champs Perdrix : la noblesse en mouvement

Située en altitude, à l’extrémité nord de l’appellation, la parcelle Les Champs Perdrix surplombe le village de Vosne-Romanée. Le terroir argilo-calcaire donne au Pinot Noir une assise puissante, mais toujours droite. Le choix de l’élevage en œuf béton pendant un an préserve la tension et affine l’expression aromatique sans emprunte boisée, pour un vin à la fois musclé et vibrant.

Vinification douce, matière dense

Comme toujours chez Cossard, la vinification se fait en grappes entières, avec une macération de trois semaines. Le résultat est un vin d’une belle concentration, au nez intense de fruits noirs, de terre fraîche et d’épices. La bouche est ample, structurée, mais sans lourdeur. Les tanins sont mûrs, bien intégrés, et la finale minérale laisse une empreinte longue et salivante.

Accords et garde : pour les belles occasions

Ce grand Vosne-Romanée appelle une cuisine noble : pièces de viande rouge rôties ou grillées, charcuteries affinées, voire gibiers légers. Il se sert entre 14 et 16°C, sans besoin de carafage. Doté d’un potentiel de garde de dix ans et plus, il évoluera vers des notes tertiaires tout en conservant son éclat et sa structure.

VY Ancestral Sparkling White 2015

Partida Creus
Finely sparkling, lively and fresh, creamy and full-bodied on the palate, this is a superb natural sparkling wine made from Vinyater (a traditional Catalan grape variety) that should be enjoyed, especially now that this magnum has aged a little and gained depth, having had time to develop the full richness of its fresh notes – white flowers, almonds, white fruits – and its magnificent length. This festive vintage, classified as a Vino de Mesa (table wine), will shine as an aperitif, for any celebration, and at the table with seafood, grilled white meats, sweetbreads, or a beautiful vol-au-vent financier. The vinyater harvest is manual; alcoholic fermentation takes place on the skins and with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. The wine completes its fermentation for ten months in bottles on fine lees.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective – we are talking here about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont – and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-known – first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they find a quantity of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties that they passionately revive to save these varieties – and their wines – from oblivion. For them, it is not just a matter of heritage rescue, no: it is a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will never stop making from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravel soils, poor and poorly irrigated, where the vines suffer to give their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic viticulture, entirely manual and natural in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, subirat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel·lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel·lo: Partida Creus is a veritable conservatory of native Catalan grape varieties. It also grows moscatel, grenache, merlot and cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with the winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single-variety wines are common among them, alongside extensive blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that denote the vintage. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.

VY Vinyater Vlanc 2017, Partida Creus
Made from old vines (sixty years old) of the Catalan vinyater grape variety on clay-limestone soil, aged in 50-liter demijohns, this is a fresh and seductive white wine that excels with seafood, grilled white meats and sweetbreads, but it can also seduce without any accompaniment or pretext. Rounded, buttery, expressive and mineral. The nose is all white fruits and white flowers. Lemon zest, a little beeswax. On the palate, volume, body, a very long finish.

We Are Young Rouge Beaujolais Nouveau 2024,

Domaine de la Sorbiere
We Are Young is an organic and natural red wine from the Beaujolais terroir produced by Cyril Alonso (winemaker) and Jacques Juillard (winemaker) exclusively for Culinaries and in the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. This is indeed a Beaujolais Nouveau — our Beaujolais Nouveau! — vinified without sulfites or any additives. A pure, natural Gamay juice bursting with youth!

Vinification
The organic Gamay grapes that produced this We Are Young cuvée are grown in Saint-Lager (Rhône) on the granite soils of the Domaine de la Sorbière, owned by winemaker Jacques Juillard, and vinified by Cyril Alonso at the same estate. The two winemakers are used to collaborating together on certain vintages. This 100% Gamay Beaujolais Nouveau is the result of hand-harvesting, a short semi-carbonic maceration (five days) followed by an equally short aging (four days) in stainless steel vats. It is a new wine with all the clarity and indulgence that this implies. No inputs, no chemicals in the vineyard or cellar.

Tasting
We Are Young by Cyril Alonso and Jacques Juillard is an exquisite, delicate and indulgent wine, with a beautiful balance of acidity, fruitiness and sweetness. Its clear and bright light coral color already whets the appetite, and the nose evokes white flowers, a cottage garden in bloom, fresh grapes, raspberries and strawberries. On the palate, we savor Montmorency cherries, Gariguette strawberries, and fresh orange or mandarin peel. It's surprisingly easy to drink, and since its season is short, make the most of it!

Learn more about Tribu Alonso
This tribal name refers to Cyril Alonso, a winemaker, his wife, a naturopath, and their family. They maintain, using organic farming methods, a conservatory of traditional grape varieties from the Rhône-Alpes region located in Marchampt (Rhône), in the heart of the Beaujolais Vert region. This two-and-a-half-hectare vineyard, which existed since 1952, contained forty grape varieties. It currently contains one hundred and forty. This unique location gives Tribu Alonso wines their distinctive style. Instead of being single-varietal microcuvées, they are quite the opposite: wines by grape family, either a Chardonnay containing all the Chardonnays of the house or a multi-Gamay Gamay.

A biotope classified in 2008
The estate enjoys a unique ecological location: the house and the vineyard are surrounded by intact forests, on the steep terrain of northern Beaujolais. Three rivers cross it, and the vines, close to the bedrock, capture all the minerality of the soil. Organic farming is practiced and the work, in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, is entirely manual, without the use of any chemical additives or sulfites in the vinification.

The wines
Complantation cuvées (and for good reason), the wines of Tribu Alonso embrace all the complexity of their grape varieties and the viticultural history of Beaujolais. These are carefully crafted wines, fermented and aged to the sound of Tibetan bowls, whose alpha waves are beneficial to the liquids. The vatting periods are short, to preserve the freshness and fruit, as well as the signature of the soil and grape varieties.

We are Young Rouge Beaujolais Nouveau 2025,

Domaine de la Sorbiere

We Are Young 2025 est une déclaration d’intention. Plus qu’un simple Beaujolais Nouveau, c’est une vision du vin jeune, libre, sans maquillage ni artifice. Cette cuvée du Domaine de la Sorbière, dans le Beaujolais granitique, rend hommage à la vitalité du Gamay, cépage emblématique de la région, travaillé ici dans un esprit pleinement naturel.

Le raisin provient de sols granitiques qui donnent au vin une fraîcheur minérale très nette. La vinification est aussi simple que sincère : macération semi-carbonique de 5 jours, fermentations spontanées avec levures indigènes, et un élevage ultra-court de 4 jours en cuve inox pour capturer l’instantané du fruit. Aucune intervention œnologique superflue, pas de levures exogènes ni intrants chimiques : ici, tout est naturel, vivant, et respectueux du raisin comme de son terroir.

La robe est d’un rouge très clair, couleur grenadine, presque translucide, évoquant un jus de fruit fermenté. Le nez charme immédiatement avec ses notes d’agrumes, de cerise fraîche et de fleurs blanches, une palette aromatique fine et printanière. En bouche, c’est le croquant du fruit qui domine, avec une trame fluide, fraîche, presque désaltérante, sans manquer de structure. L’alcool modéré (12 %) participe à cette impression de légèreté gourmande.

Parfait dès l’apéritif, We Are Young 2025 s’accorde à merveille avec une planche de charcuteries fines, des fromages à pâte molle ou une cuisine simple et généreuse. À servir légèrement frais (16-18°C) et à boire sans attendre, même si son potentiel de garde de 2 à 5 ans surprendra les curieux.

Une cuvée numérotée, pleine de sincérité et de peps, pour réconcilier tous les amateurs avec l’esprit originel du Beaujolais Nouveau : celui de la fête, du partage, et du vin qui fait du bien.

Weingarten White 2023,

Domaine Einhart

An elegant and vibrant Sylvaner, reflecting its unique terroir

The Weingarten 2023, produced by Domaine Einhart, showcases Sylvaner, the emblematic grape variety of Alsace. Vinified with precision, this organic AOP Alsace white wine is made from grapes grown in clay-rich soils, allowing the variety to reveal all its delicacy. After a 24-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration, the wine is aged for a month in stainless steel vats on fine lees, giving it freshness and aromatic purity.

On the nose, the Weingarten offers precise and vibrant aromas. Citrus notes like lemon and orange mingle with subtle touches of jasmine, white peach, and flint. On the palate, this Sylvaner seduces with its lively tension and elegance. Round and taut at the same time, it reveals a marked minerality, the signature of its terroir, as well as a slight, refreshing bitterness on the finish.

A perfectly balanced wine for the table

The Weingarten 2023 is a versatile wine, ideal for accompanying refined dishes or convivial moments. It excels with seafood, shellfish, and raw fish such as scallop carpaccio or salmon tartare. It also goes well with fine charcuterie, risottos or fruity desserts thanks to its balance between freshness and roundness.

Serve between 6 and 8°C after light decanting, this Sylvaner reveals its full potential now, but can evolve subtly over 5 years.

Weingarten Blanc 2024

Domaine Einhart

Sous la houlette du Domaine Einhart, en Alsace, la cuvée Weingarten incarne la délicatesse d’un Sylvaner travaillé avec justesse sur un terroir d’argilo-calcaire. Vinifié en bio certifié, sans artifice œnologique, ce vin naturel blanc exprime une belle pureté de fruit, équilibrée par une trame fraîche et droite. Ici, le cépage le plus humble s’épanouit pleinement sur les sols les plus généreux.

La vinification repose sur une macération pré-fermentaire à froid (12 à 14 °C) durant 24 heures, favorisant l’expression aromatique sans extraire les composés tanniques indésirables. Le pressurage direct qui suit permet d’obtenir un jus clair et délicat, ensuite élevé en cuve inox pendant 10 mois, préservant toute la vivacité du vin. Le domaine mise sur une fermentation spontanée grâce aux levures indigènes, en respect total du raisin et de son écosystème.

À la dégustation, Weingarten 2024 dévoile une robe pâle aux reflets verts. Le nez est éclatant : fleurs blanches, notes herbacées et une pointe de fruits exotiques. En bouche, c’est l’élégance même : une matière ample mais toujours tenue par une fraîcheur verticale. Une légère amertume finale, bien maîtrisée, prolonge le plaisir et donne envie d’y revenir.

Idéal à l’apéritif, ce vin se prête aussi à des alliances plus audacieuses : cuisine thaï, plats épicés, fruits de mer ou volailles à chair tendre. Une cuvée expressive, polyvalente et sincère, à boire dès maintenant ou à oublier quelques années en cave.

Westerberg White 2021

Domaine Einhart

Westerberg is a dry white wine full of character, elegance, and spice, offering the best of the estate's Riesling and Gewurztraminer: 90% Riesling and 10% Gewurztraminer grown on the great limestone terroirs of the Rosheim hillsides: soils of shell limestone with ceratites (fossilized limestone) and lettenkohl (muschelkalk carbonate) plates. A depth of one meter and eighty of soil with a grain size of 70% limestone and a layer of loess at one and a half meters, this is a superb minerality that benefits the wine. One hundred percent of the grapes come from the property. The average age of the vines is forty-five years, on plots facing south on a 30% slope. The grapes are entirely hand-harvested and destemmed. The Riesling is directly pressed, while the Gewurztraminer undergoes a forty-eight-day maceration before pressing. Everything is fermented with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for one year on fine lees and is bottled without filtration. No sulfites or any other inputs are added to the vineyard or the cellar. We recommend decanting this Westerberg.

To find out more

Located in the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, horizontally above Strasbourg, the Einhart estate is a ten-hectare family property whose vines are located on the hillsides that rise between the Alsace plain and the Vosges mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, i.e. shell limestone and oolitic limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone). Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is a co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking work to protecting the land and biodiversity, making wine without additives, refusing harmful phytosanitary products and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic since 2011. Like Jean-Marc Dreyer, he is firmly focused on skin maceration and produces white maceration wines (orange wines) in addition to a Pinot Noir red. Entirely manual harvests, destemming of the grapes, light punching down and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are pure grape, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of the very beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.

Westerberg Blanc 2023,

Domaine Einhart

The subtle and mouth-watering expression of a unique terroir
The Westerberg 2023, produced by Domaine Einhart, is a highly expressive cuvée that combines Gewurztraminer and Riesling, two emblematic grape varieties of Alsace. Produced from vines planted on a terroir of limestone silt, this cuvée draws its unique character from a meticulous 11-month maturation in foudres, which amplifies its complexity while preserving its freshness.

An intense and elegant tasting
On the nose, the Westerberg 2023 reveals a striking aromatic richness: notes of candied apricot, juicy pear and jasmine blend harmoniously with touches of mango and citrus. On the palate, this wine displays a supple and velvety texture, balanced by a marked mineral freshness. The vibrant acidity brings a beautiful salivation, while the long and persistent finish highlights brioche and slightly buttery nuances. This contrast between breadth and liveliness makes this wine a true sensory journey.

Refined pairings for a varied gastronomy
The richness and finesse of the Westerberg 2023 make it a perfect ally for the table. It enhances grilled fish dishes, seafood, or even roast poultry. It also pairs well with Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, where its exotic aromas and ample structure will find a beautiful echo. Finally, it pairs elegantly with mature cheeses and fruit desserts, such as an apricot tart or a citrus mousse.

Serve between 6 and 8°C after decanting, this wine is ready to be enjoyed now, but will also evolve magnificently in the cellar for at least 5 years.

French Single Malt Whisky Coperies

Vintage Spirit Garage

Coperies is a 100% French single malt whisky from a single distillery, the venerable Merlet & Fils distillery, in Charente-Maritime. It bears the mark of its region even in its name: "copieries" is a very old word meaning "harvest" in old Charente. This appellation refers to the French identity of this beverage—all the ingredients of which are French—but also, beyond that, to its specifically Charente roots. The barley from which it is made is grown, malted, and brewed in France before being distilled and aged at the Merlet & Fils distillery. Son.
Its development is the fruit of centuries-old expertise, used for the production of the most prestigious wine spirits and applied here to cereals. The first step is double-pass distillation, in Charentais copper stills, which produces round and elegant malt spirits. The aging takes place in French oak barrels, maintaining a balance between new and old barrels in order to modulate the contribution of wood and toasting: this produces subtle spicy notes and silky tannins. The whisky is surprising, remarkable for the sweetness and roundness of its accents. It is floral, fruity, and of unparalleled finesse. The nose first reveals a very discreet vanilla and a light touch of caramel. On the palate, it is the smooth and fluid texture that surprises, all in suppleness: no alcoholic burn hinders the sweet, aromatic, and delicately spiced notes of this whisky. The purity of single malt is very apparent. It will be wonderful neat, with an ice cube that will bring out its tenderness, and can also lend itself to the preparation of cocktails. It is, we specify, an excellent way to enter the world of whisky for those who are not used to this beverage: it will not be aggressive and will provide them with a gentle initiation.

Natural Single Malt Whisky

Ergaster Distillery
This single malt with its beautiful amber color is the pride of the Ergaster team. It is first aged in new barrels, then completes its maturation in reused barrels (25% vin jaune, 75% cognac). The nose is subtly fruity (guava, almond, white grape), unfolding into leather, walnuts, and fresh tobacco in the glass. On the palate, the attack is powerful with floral, woody, and vanilla notes, evolving into dried fruits. The finish is long and more herbaceous: green barley, spring onions, and hazelnut. Perfect for those who enjoy whisky with pure accents.
