Between viticulture and trade

The vines are tended biodynamically, the harvest is manual, carried out at full maturity. Frédéric Cossard's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, always highly anticipated but which sometimes require waiting.
Super Pink Rosé 2022
Super-Pink sets the tone: this organic, natural rosé is vinified in Burgundy by Frédéric Cossard from Cinsault harvested in the Rhône Valley. A summer rosé, without hesitation, but any other season suits it.
Vinification
The Cinsault vines from which Super-Pink is made are around twenty years old and grow on clay-limestone soils near Vaison-la-Romaine (Vaucluse). The grapes are directly pressed and the wine is aged for a short time in stainless steel vats.
Tasting
The color of Super-Pink by Frédéric Cossard is pale, graceful and delicate, like the wine as a whole: one hundred percent Cinsault — a super-grape variety for rosé —, red fruits, citrus notes, flowers and orange zest. A natural wine that is like Provençal sunshine in a bottle; you can pair it with tasty tapas and starters: a Martigues poutargue, seafood rillettes or smoked fish… To discover the Cinsault grape variety in red and not in rosé, try Cinsauriel from Jean-Louis Pinto.

Cuvée Mourvèdre Red 2022
Frédéric Cossard's Cuvée M Mourvèdre is an organic and natural red wine made from Mourvèdre from the Mont Ventoux region in the lower Rhône Valley, and vinified in Burgundy. This is an excellent wine for laying down, with presence and personality.
Vinification

Tasting
Nicely structured, M Mourvèdre offers very fresh fruit (blackberry, raspberry) and ripe, fine tannins. Secondary notes of Mediterranean plants. Elegant and dense, yet fluid, this very tasty natural wine will be perfect for all your dinner parties, barbecues, and gourmet celebrations. He likes grilled Red Meats, black truffles, cold meats and cured meats, but you can make a (high-end) all-terrain table wine with it.

Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it has a aging potential of five to ten years. Serving temperature: between 14 and 16°C.
Vinification
The Grands Champs plot, from which this organic Burgundy comes, is planted with fifty-year-old vines. Its soils consist of cone gravel on Bresse marl.

Aging lasts ten months in oak barrels, 15% of which are new. Bottled without filtration or fining.
Tasting
Delicately fruity, Grands Champs is an authentic wine of its terroir. Very indulgent, it evokes black fruits (black cherry), raspberry, licorice and thyme. The palate is opulent and structured. It is a place of pleasure and conviviality that will accompany the most delicious dishes: Stewed Dishes (for example a cassoulet), Exceptional Red Meats, charcuterie and cured meats…
Les Combes Rouge 2018
Pierre Naigeon
Les Combes, certified organic by Eurofeuille, is a biodynamic and natural red Burgundy wine made from the Bourgogne-Pinot Noir AOP. The sixty-year-old grapes grow near the commune of Gilly-les-Cîteaux, in the Côte de Nuits region and bordering the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. The aging potential is five to ten years. Serving temperature: between 14 and 16°C.
Vinification
The Les Combes plot from which this organic Burgundy is produced consists of limestone scree on Bresse marl and clayey limestone. The harvest is carried out manually in 6 kg crates to preserve the grapes. A rigorous manual sorting is carried out, followed by traditional vinification with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for ten months in oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Bottled without filtration or fining.
Tasting
Raspberry, red fruits, violet on the nose; the palate brings a note of licorice, notes of truffle, and confirms the raspberry. Les Combes is a generous, generous wine, with a very pleasant sapidity and depth. Pair it with coq au vin prepared with excellent poultry, serve it next to a beautiful platter of charcuterie, or make it the companion of a rib of beef.
Magnum Alburostre White 2022
Alburostre is an organic, biodynamic, and natural white wine made by Christophe Bosque (De Vini) in the Nantes region from the Folle-Blanche grape variety. It comes from vines growing in Gorges (Loire-Atlantique), on the winemaker's estate, on gabbro soils. Classified as a Vin de France. Folle-Blanche or Gros-Plant is a typical grape variety of the Nantes region, where it has been known since the 16th century and thrives on gabbro soils. Very suitable for distillation, it is also a grape variety used in Armagnac and Cognac. It typically produces low-alcohol, pale-colored wines: Alburostre is all of these things.
Vinification
The organic folle-blanches harvested for Alburostre are pressed directly, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then the wine is aged for nine months on lees in stoneware jars. No fining, sulfiting, or filtration.
Tasting
Alburostre means "white-beak" in old French. Aside from the paleness of its color—typical of folle-blanche—there is nothing inexperienced about it. It is a very beautiful, easy-drinking white wine (10 degrees alcohol), supple, pleasant, chiseled, and pure. A beautiful yeasty fermentation note rises above its simple description to envelop the palate and further accentuate the wine's length. Very gourmet: reserve it for the finest smoked salmon, seafood, and even caviar. The winemaker recommends salmon tartare with coriander, pollack steak with beurre blanc, or steamed barnacles.
Learn more about Christophe Bosque and De Vini
De Vini, along with the Vinilibre winery, is the multifaceted business of Christophe Bosque, originally from Saint-Nazaire. He has always been passionate about wine. We are particularly interested in his local creations, produced from his vineyard of some two hectares and fermented in buried vats in the Nantes style - a true reinvention of Muscadet (outside the appellation) in natural mode.
Gabbro Fondu
After spending years as a merchant, importer, then wine merchant, this former cameraman with a BTS in oenology-viticulture acquired a few plots (two hectares) of Melon de Bourgogne vines in Gorges, in Loire-Atlantique, near Clisson in 2017. The soils there are made up of gabbro on a granite substrate, a pedological configuration specific to the Nantes region and particularly to Clisson. Christophe is full of praise for this type of soil.
Muscadet for the better
Christophe's vintages may come from grapes purchased from the best French terroirs, particularly in Languedoc, but the winemaker retains a special affection for his vines, which he maintains with passion and attention to the terroir. A touch of humor and a sense of pun can be seen on his labels and in his appellations, but in the bottle, they are serious, off-the-beaten-track wines, just the way he likes them.
Crapaud Licorne Rouge 2022
Danis dans la vigne
Under the enigmatic name of Crapaud Licorne stands an organic and natural red wine from the Cahors terroir, 100% Malbec, certified AB and Nature & Progrès. It is made by Danis Bessières (Danis dans la vigne) from organic grapes from his family's Domaine de l'Antenet.
Vinification
Danis Bessières's Crapaud Licorne is based on Malbec, the emblematic red (and even black) grape variety of Cahors. It comes from 30- to 40-year-old vines growing on clay-loam and limestone gravel soils. The vinification is carried out without any additives, with a short maceration. The aging is done in stainless steel vats.
Tasting
This deep purple-red color, no mistake, it's Malbec, the Cahors grape variety from which "black wines" are made. This red wine from Danis Bessières, dense, dark, full-bodied and rich in substance, fits the description well. Toad Unicorn needs local dishes and charcuterie from the region: the galabart black pudding from the Mayrinhac farm or the black pudding from the Collectif Padouen will accompany it with talent. If Malbec interests you, discover a completely different expression with Cyprès de toi rosé from Fond Cyprès.
Learn more about Danis dans la vigne
Under the Danis dans la vigne brand, in the Cahors terroir, Danis Bessières vinifies organic grapes purchased from his parents' estate, the Domaine de l'Antenet, which was the first organic vineyard in Cahors in the early 1980s.
Organic and natural since 1983
Danis respects the principles established in the vineyard and cellar by his grandfather and then his father: to make wines without additives, organic and natural, from the grape varieties of the terroir while respecting the environment. It was in 1983 that his grandfather obtained the organic label Lemaire-Boucher, followed by Nature & Progrès and then the organic labels AB and Eurofeuille. Danis Bessières continues this momentum.
Malbec, but not only
Malbec reigns over the Cadurcian region, but Danis also uses Cabernets, Jurançon Noir, Merlot and recently created grape varieties. This allows him to temper the density and opacity of the main grape variety. He also does not hesitate to create single-varietal cuvées of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc or Colombard.
Life of the party Red 2020
Life of the Party (more or less translatable as "the party animal") is an organic and natural red wine from the Cahors terroir, certified AB and Nature & Progrès. This blend of red grape varieties from the Southwest is made by Danis Bessières, winemaker at Danis dans la vigne, using grapes from his family estate in Antenet.
Vinification
Life of the Party, produced on clay-loam soils resting on limestone gravel, is made from the red grape varieties Malbec, Egiodola, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. In addition to the Cabernet Francs that are around ten years old, the vines are between 30 and 40 years old. The vinification is carried out without any additives, with a short maceration. No added sulfites, yeast or enzymes. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats.
Tasting
The garnet red color catches the eye and a large packet of fruit explodes in the mouth. Life of the Party, a joyful and free-spirited wine, is a natural, unadulterated red that's festive, convivial, and indulgent. The blend of grape varieties—in a region traditionally favored by Malbec alone—produces a supple, fruity, and nuanced result, perfect for any celebration. A board of charcuteries and salaisons will pay tribute to him, but you can also serve him at the table.

Gabbrodo White 2021,
The Gabbrodo 2021 from De Vini (Vinilibre) is an ode to the terroir of the Pays Nantais. This natural wine without any additives delicately expresses the Melon de Bourgogne, the region's emblematic grape variety. Made from gabbro soils, a rare volcanic rock in the Loire region, it benefits from a nine-month aging in sandstone jars, giving this exceptional white remarkable purity and tension.
Its pale color with golden highlights announces a luminous and crystalline wine. The nose seduces with its freshness and aromatic complexity: notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white fruits (pear, peach), and a hint of iodine that recalls its maritime origins. On the palate, the attack is frank and lively, driven by beautiful acidity and sharp minerality. The aging in jars adds a silky texture while preserving the wine's tension and freshness. The finish is long and saline, with a delicately smoky persistence that invites further sipping.
The Gabbrodo 2021 is an ideal companion to seafood. It will enhance scallops with truffles, grilled lobster, sea bass in a salt crust, or pikeperch with beurre blanc. Serve between 10 and 12°C, it can be enjoyed now for its brilliant freshness or can be cellared for 5 to 10 years to reveal all its complexity.
La Petite Robe Blanc 2019 Magnum
Jean Yves Peron
La Petite Robe is one of Jean-Yves Péron's cult vintages. It is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine made in Savoie from the Jacquère grape variety grown in the Les Marches area, on clay-limestone and granite soils, at the foot of Mont Granier. The vintage is classified as a Vin de France. The magnum format accentuates the clarity and depth of this beautiful wine.
Vinification
The vines are around fifty years old. After a manual harvest, the grapes undergo carbonic maceration for two weeks. The wine is aged for one year in 34 hl foudres. No filtration, fining, or addition of sulfites.
Tasting
Delicious and crisp, La Petite Robe is a great success from Jean-Yves Péron, who crafts this typically Savoyard white grape variety with the precision provided by the limestone soils. The Jacquère gives its most opulent side here, delicious, fruity, fleshy, with volume in the mouth. Notes of spindle, white fruits, beautiful balance and great intensity, combined with a note of controlled oxidation. La Petite Robe is an ideal maceration white wine for raw or cooked seafood, which it will highlight with its mineral straightforwardness. You can try grilled abalone, smoked scallops from Normandy smokehouse or Mediterranean smokehouse, raw clams or steamed.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his winery in Chevaline, in the Bauges region, he vinifies the grapes from his plots in Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, in the Isère valley.
High-altitude biodynamics
Jean-Yves Péron's work follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow, steep surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semi-carbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then sent to barrels of two or three wines for aging for twelve months on lees, before blending and resting in the vat. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italo-Savoyard trade
Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.
i Vicini Moscato Blanc 2021 Magnum
Jean Yves Peron
I Vicini Moscato is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron. Vinified in Savoie using Muscat d'Asti. It is part of the I Vicini cuvées series, vinified in Savoie using organic grapes from Northern Italy. The Muscats grow on very fine, calcaro-magnesian limestone soils, on a particularly cool site. The fullness of this beautiful wine is magnified by the magnum format.
Vinification
The Muscat d'Asti grapes, harvested manually at good phenolic maturity, macerate for three months in vats on the skins, with punching down. Racking off in January, aging for one year in 300-liter barrels. No filtration, fining, or addition of sulfites.
Tasting
Straightness, tension, and freshness: this very beautiful mountain Muscat offers the aromatic and musky nose specific to the grape variety, without any syrupy notes. A very present tannic structure balances the whole. On the palate, it is rich and powerful; we find the charming scent of Muscat in the retro-olfaction, but with the tension and freshness that Jean-Yves Péron favors for his dry whites. It’s a great table wine, not really for an aperitif, but for gastronomy, no limits.

Casa Rossa Rouge 2020
Jean Yves Peron
Casa Rossa, a red or rather rosé wine leaning towards red, is none other than the Italian version of Vers laMaison rouge. This is an organic, biodynamic, and natural wine made from three grape varieties: Grignolino, Freisa, and Barbera.
Vinification
The organic grapes that make up Casa Rossa are harvested in Casale Monferrato, in Piedmont. Grignolino and Freisa are directly pressed, and Barbera undergoes carbonic maceration. The three grape varieties are blended before a year of aging in 300-liter barrels. This period is followed by a year of bottle aging.
Tasting
Casa Rossa is a rosé that is not far from a red. The tangy Barbera grape brings liveliness; Grignolino and Freisa (so named for its strong strawberry aromas) give a vinous side that makes Casa Rossa a beautiful winter wine, not a summer rosé. The wine is fruity, vinous, tangy, aromatic and very tasty. It's delicious on its own, but let's also make sure it doesn't go badly with a good dish of Italian pasta with a nice tomato or Bolognese sauce, a delicious charcuterie from the Ferme de Mayrinhac or even a rabbit stew.

Pierra Menta Blanc 2020
Jean Yves Peron
This is an exceptional dry white wine from Savoie made by Jean-Yves Péron. Produced organically, biodynamically, and from scratch on schist plots near Albertville, Pierra Menta is made from the Gringet grape variety. The winemaker plans to plant more vines of this ancient variety until he reaches half a hectare.
Vinification
Gringet, which makes up 100% of Pierra Menta, is a white grape variety native to Haute-Savoie, historically linked to the commune of Ayse, near Bonneville. Jean-Yves Péron's vines are planted near Albertville, on a south-facing mica-schist plot. Gringet has long been confined to the Bonneville region and traditionally produces low-alcohol, high-yield sparkling wines. It's an interesting grape variety that produces fruity, low-alcohol wines with quince notes and strong minerality. Pierra Menta's gringets are macerated for 15 days in carbonic acid with punching down, and aged for one year in new 300-liter barrels, some new and the rest from two wines.
Tasting
The quince is felt from the start, and the minerality superbly supports this note. White fruits, florality, lots of structure, and beautiful acidity. Incredible length, too... "One of the most beautiful wines I've made this year," says Jean-Yves. We thank him for this and move on to the food and wine pairings: fish, seafood, oysters, or the delicious spreads from Olio di Serra.

Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies the grapes from his plots in Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, in the Isère valley.
High-altitude biodynamics
Jean-Yves Péron's work follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow and steep surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, do not receive any synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semi-carbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then sent to barrels of two or three wines for aging for twelve months on lees, before blending and resting in the vat. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italian-Savoyard trade
Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.
i Vicini Barbera Red 2021
This bottle from Jean-Yves Péron's I Vicini series is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine. It is vinified in Savoie from grapes harvested in Piedmont. The grape variety is Barbera, grown in Asti and Alba. The second most widely used red grape variety in Italy after Sangiovese, Barbera produces full-bodied, colorful wines with notes of red fruits. This vintage is classified as a Wine of the European Community.
Vinification
Hand-harvested, no sulfites added, no filtration, no fining. The two Barberas are macerated for three months with punching down and undergo fifteen days of carbonic maceration. The wine is aged for one year in 225-liter barrels. The 13.5 degrees of alcohol testifies to the desire not to exaggerate its richness and power: the average Barbera today is closer to 15 degrees.
Tasting
A great wine in every sense of the word, this I Vicini Barbera. Long, very fruity, generous, deep, with superb acidity resulting from a harvest at moderate maturity, it is both serious and joyful, intense and concentrated. Finesse, minerality, tension, beautiful intense and colorful red color: it demands to accompany beautiful cuts of meat, whether black pork from Bigorre or high-end beef from Maison Aitana.

i Vicini Reserve Rouge 2018/19
Jean Yves Peron
I Vicini Réserve is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine. This is a new cuvée made by Jean-Yves Péron from organic grapes harvested in Piedmont. These are Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) and Barbera grapes grown in Casale Monferrato. This vintage is classified as a Wine of the European Community.
Vinification
The harvest is manual. The Pinot Noir undergoes carbonic maceration for fifteen days, and the Barbera undergoes long maceration. Aging is three and four years, respectively, in 225-liter barrels. No filtration, no fining, no sulfiting.
Tasting
I Vicini Réserve carries within it the best of Piedmontese red wine. Both delicate and powerful, it is distinguished by a velvety palate and plenty of morello cherry on the nose and palate. It is a great charmer that will seduce on any occasion, alongside a beautiful piece of roast lamb or quality white meat, for example Black Bigorre Pork roasted in the oven (rack, loin, filet mignon, tenderloin tip, etc.). We also dare to recommend him with a first-class cassoulet.
