Grisette Beer 2022,
Cyclic Beer Farm
Low in alcohol, light, refreshing, and not very full-bodied, Grisette is a session beer, the little cousin of Cyclic Beer Farm's Saison. It offers notes of citrus and tropical fruits balanced by traditional hopping that gives it a moderate bitterness. It's designed to be drunk chilled, but its brewing with the house's brett cocktail ensures it ages comfortably. Perfect for quenching thirst when the sun is shining. Grisette is 3.7% ABV.

Cyclic Beer Farm is a duo of Barcelona friends, Alberto and Joshua. Based in the Catalan capital, they have two sides to their business: beer (Cyclic Beer) and wine (Cyclic Wine). The beers, inspired by the Belgian model, come in surprising and colorful ranges where expertly measured yeast cocktails and house brews combine with varied macerations of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and grape marc from traditional Catalan varieties, the latter taken after the fermentation of their wines — because the second side is the wine, made exclusively from native Catalan grape varieties. Packaged in 75 cl bottles so that everyone can satisfy their thirst, the beers play between classicism and flights of inspiration, in a contrasting and creative way, Catalan style, without forgetting to dare the beer with wine, of course. On classic bases and a Belgian fermentation model, the two brewers-winemakers Joshua and Alberto play with ingredients, aromas, macerations, between cereals, fruits, vegetables or grape skins of Catalan grape varieties, to achieve flavors that are reminiscent of the Obni (unidentified drinkable object). Whether they assert themselves on balance or on a certain managed dissonance, these beers will never leave you indifferent and will reveal their full potential during the summer heat, served well chilled (like their creators).
Witty Fool Beer 2022,
Cyclic Beer Farm
A German-style wheat-based wheat beer (Witbier), but more tart and fruity than the classic model. Refreshing, it's extremely comforting and an aperitif in the summer heat. And good in any other season... Its flavoring includes Indian coriander seeds and the juice and zest of oranges harvested at the family estate in Alt Empordà (Catalonia). Witty Fool has an ABV of 5.5%.

Jamaica Beer 2022,
Cyclic Beer Farm
Funkin' for Jamaica, sang Tom Browne (search it on YouTube if you don't know it, you won't regret the click). If possible, accompany this listening with a refreshing glass of this deliciously sweet, floral, and fruity vermillion beer. This 2022 vintage boasts a particularly orange-lemon aroma and a more pronounced acidity: a true fountain of youth for spring, summer, and the lingering summer. The composition of this beer includes, in addition to the hibiscus flowers that give this fantastic red-orange color, the zest and juice of organic oranges harvested on the family farm in Alt Empordà (Catalonia). Jamaica is 7% ABV.

Cyclic Beer Farm
A great addition to Cyclic Beer Farm's flavored beer repertoire, Pomelo del Huerto is a tangy beer made from the peel and juice of organic grapefruit from the brewers' family estate in Alt Empordà, Catalonia. The brew also includes coriander seeds, sea salt, and a light dry hopping with the Simcoe variety. This vintage is particularly complex and interesting. Pomelo del Huerto has an ABV of 4.2%.

VY Vinyater Blanc 2019,
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 can also seduce without any accompaniment or pretext. Rounded, buttery, expressive, and mineral. The nose is all about white fruits and white flowers. Lemon zest, a touch of beeswax. On the palate, volume, body, and a very long finish.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective—we're 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-versed—first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug tickled them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a number of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties, which they passionately revived to save these varieties—and their wines—from oblivion. For them, it's not just a matter of saving their heritage, no: it's 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 produce their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic, entirely manual and natural viticulture 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, ceciat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel.lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel.lo: it is a true conservatory of the native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. There is also Moscatel, Grenache, Merlot and Cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast of growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single varietals are common among them, alongside very rich 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 indicate the cuvée. 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.
UL Ull de llebre Red 2020
Partida Creus
This wine is highly original: behind the minerality, (black) fruit, blueberry, and freshness, we notice very fine tannins and aromatic herbs. A serious wine, a little grave, but did you know that serious wines make you joyful? Its length on the palate is astonishing. Decanting is highly recommended so that this wine can play its own unique music, down to the finest notes. A recent creation, this red from Partida Creus is made from the ancient and indigenous grape variety called ull de llebre, which, you guessed it, means "hare's eye." What you might not guess is that this is the Catalan name for Tempranillo. It's actually an old local version of this very Iberian grape variety, which Massimo and Antonella have nurtured in their own way.

SP Subirat Parent Blanc 2020,
Partida Creus
This 100% Subirat Parent wine is crisp and aromatic, with a nose of ripe white fruits, melon, and wildflowers. Agile on the palate, fresh and straightforward, lemony and slightly saline, it offers a long finish tinged with a delicate bitterness typical of the estate. Subirat Parent, one of the oldest Catalan grape varieties and a close relative of Malvasia, remains rare even in its country of origin. The clay-limestone soil enhances its freshness and integrity. The harvest is pressed after a three-day skin maceration. The must is settled and fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. Three months of rest in vats on fine lees before bottling.

Frédéric Cossard
The Damodes climate, in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, gives the wines great finesse, tenderness, and silkiness with a solid structure. This is the case with this Pinot Noir, concentrated, floral, structured, and fresh, with wonderfully silky tannins. This Pinot Noir comes from the Damodes plot in the Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC. Its name apparently comes from ancient female deities dating back to before the Gallo-Roman period: earth goddesses and druidesses. The vines are planted on finely gravelly brown limestone soils and clay-silt fractions. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. The 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 viticultural 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 Chassorney estate 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 place, the work of the soil and the vines is done as naturally as possible: regular ploughing by horse, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to the principles of biodynamics: 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. Red or white, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and coveted wines, which sometimes require waiting.
Super Pink Rosé 2020,
Frédéric Cossard
The pale color of this rosé is graceful and delicate, as is the wine: 100% Cinsault, red fruits, citrus notes, flowers, and orange zest. Like Provençal sunshine in a bottle. Marvelously pure, this wine is produced by directly pressing grapes harvested from twenty-year-old vines near Vaison-la-Romaine (Vaucluse), on clay-limestone soils. Aging is brief, in stainless steel vats. The summer rosé, without hesitation.

Fond Cyprès
This Languedoc estate is built on solid foundations: its two winemakers, Rodolphe and Laetitia, are also descendants of winemakers. Even before planting their first vine, they already had a clear objective: "to make southern wines that reflect us, wines with character, rooted in our soils, with freshness and refined tannins." They want to create entirely natural wines, concentrated expressions of terroir. In the heart of the ancient Corbières massif, they are taking over an old estate already planted with abandoned Carignan and Grenache grapes, which have seen neither fertilizer nor pesticides for years: these clean, vibrant soils are ideal conditions for launching into natural winemaking. Around this historic heart, they first planted Grenache Noir and Syrah, then a plot of white grape varieties: Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne. The estate has been Ecocert certified since 2010 and also complies with the Nature & Progrès charter. The vinification is done without the addition of sulfites or exogenous yeasts. "We make wines for pleasure," say Laetitia and Rodolphe. For them, natural wine is first assessed by taste, from the harvest. The vintages closely follow the plots, the musts are fruity, fluid, and complex. The wines of Fond Cyprès poetically evoke the estate's ecosystem and the vegetation that protects the plots: the pine forests, the shady springs, the beauty of the natural environment that brings freshness to the wines and leaves the soil's signature. Deliciously balanced between mineral imprint, vegetal environment and expression of fruit, the wines of Fond Cyprès reflect the South: the caress of its sun, but also the freshness of its shadows.
Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Viognier growing on the same plot and harvested together at different ripenesses: a southern blend that produces a truly southern white, original, balanced, fresh, structured by a light maceration, fermented and aged in barrels. A beautiful texture, notes of citrus and exotic fruits. It can be kept for around ten years, if given time: all pairings suit it.

Coming from a plot of young vines exposed to the north and bordered by pines and cypresses, the Syrah harvest used to make this wine is destemmed, gently extracted, and aged for one year in old barrels. Dense, ample and generous, this Syrah is ready to drink but can still wait. It carries within it the freshness and shade of its forest environment and a certain gravity that is not rare in Corbières wines based on this type of blend. It is a true wine of the South, born of the sun and faithful reflection of the earth.

The name of the plot means "under the village." The soils are mainly marl, limestone, and clay, and the vines sink their roots into the limestone substrate, which gives the wines excellent minerality. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Aging is approximately one year in barrels. This savory and fleshy red is a great success from Frédéric Cossard. The tannins are felt, but supple, fine, and velvety.

Feu I Blanc 2019,
La Sorga
Antony Tortul loves old vineyards: he devotes his life to finding and vinifying them. Just as there are landless shepherds, he can be defined as a landless winegrower, in other words, a wine merchant whose area of activity extends throughout Languedoc and, eastward, as far as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in search of the best terroirs. Born in Foix, with six years of experience as a viticultural technician and oenologist in various vineyards in the south of France, he founded La Sorga in 2008. His enthusiasm leads him on a path filled with favorites, and each of these favorites is a vineyard. The result is a dizzying mosaic of natural, lively, and spirited wines, which reinvent themselves each year with around thirty cuvées per vintage. Few winemakers can include such a variety of grape varieties on their menu: the whole of southern France is there with muscats, grenaches, picpoul, mauzac, carignan, cinsault, marsanne, alicante, braucol, duras, viognier, len-de-l’el, and tutti quanti. The label sets the bar very high: Gustave Doré’s Dante crosses the raging Acheron in a boat and doesn’t seem very sure of himself, understandably. Don’t let this infernal image throw you off balance; Feu I, far from plunging you into hell, propels you into the paradise of aromatic white wines. Indeed, it is one hundred percent Terret Bourret (vines aged eight and sixty-five years) harvested on clay-limestone soils in Marseillan, near the Thau basin, and in Paulhan on Villafranchian limestone (all in Hérault). The harvest of old Terrets macerates in whole bunches in the juice pressed from the young Terrets for twenty-four days before aging in vats for nine months. On the nose, white pepper, tobacco, plum, sweet spices, we didn't tell you any stories above. The palate, in harmony, is long, lemony, saline (a typical note of these wines from the sandy coast of Languedoc), while remaining extremely fresh.

Hommage à Robert Rouge - 2019,
Le Raisin Et L'Ange
This red is composed of 50% Gamay, 30% Merlot, and 20% Syrah. The harvest underwent two weeks of semicarbonic maceration, and the wine was neither filtered nor clarified before bottling. No sulfites were added, of course. It offers plenty of fruit, lusciousness, and lightness. At the time of writing, in 2021, it requires a little decanting to express all its tenderness and freshness.
Vieille Vigne Rouge 2016
Domaine Bois Moisset
100% old Syrah vines, aged between thirty and forty years, planted on boulbènes on the second terrace of the Tarn. The destemmed harvest macerated for one month in cement vats, with two punchings of the marc. The temperature did not exceed 21°C. Aging continued for nine months before bottling without filtration. The wine is fruity and delicious, rich in notes of red fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, morello cherry).
El Aqueronte Red 2018
El Aqueronte refers to Acheron, the river of the underworld in Greek mythology. We therefore expect base notes firmly rooted in the soil and black fruits, and they are there: a beautiful dark garnet color, a smoky and fruity nose (black cherry), peony, and cocoa, and a velvety, cherry-peppery texture on the palate, a harmony between minerality and fruit. Made from 100% Mencia grapes (from the Trousseau), unfiltered and unsulfured, this wine comes from seventy to ninety-year-old vines grown in the north of Bierzo on a homogeneous plot with clay-limestone soils rich in quartz, at an altitude of 555 meters. The grapes macerate for three to four days in old, unsealed chestnut vats; the wines are aged in French oak barrels for eleven months. Decanting is recommended.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Hip Hip White 2018
Domaine de l'Octavin
Hip Hip savagnin is a dry white wine made from Arbois savagnin, macerated for two months in whole bunches. Pressing is followed by a year of aging in vats. The long maceration gives Alice Bouvot the opportunity to highlight the most aromatic aspects of the grape variety: exotic fruits, vibrant acidity, a lovely touch of tannins and spices. A magnificent balance between dryness and suppleness. Truly made for all pairings.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
GT Ancestral Sparkling Red 2018
Partida Creus
A Catalan cousin of Mourvèdre, the Garrut grape variety forms the basis of this dazzling wine, which revisits the classic sparkling wine in a black fruit way: intense, bright, earthy, completely atypical, even a little cracked, reminiscent of the best of Lambrusco. A perfect companion for Ibérico bellota ham, fine chorizos, and all high-end cured meats, as well as pâtés, terrines, and spicy dishes. It evokes the family vine, artisanal production, and free wine.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Magnum VN Red 2018, Partida Creus
VN, Vinel·lo red, is a particularly successful blend of native grape varieties: samsó (cinsault), garrut (mourvèdre), trepat, ull de perdiu, queixal de llop, sumoll and grenache noir, harvested on predominantly limestone soils. Vinification is done individually according to the varieties. No filtration, no additives, no added sulfites. A supple and hyperfruity classic "à la jura", an everyday wine, easy to drink, with a beautiful fresh expression and notes of pomegranate.
