Amoroso Blanc
Distillerie Sentema
Amoroso Blanc is an ode to freshness, finesse, and controlled indulgence. Crafted by Distillerie Sentema in the Alpes-Maritimes, this sweet white vermouth is part of an artisanal approach rooted in the Provençal terroir. It is made from Rolle (Vermentino) grown in Correns, Var, then fortified with a local wine spirit, before undergoing a two-week maceration with a complex blend of organic plants and citrus fruits.
Unlike many commercially available white vermouths, Amoroso Blanc avoids any heaviness. Its sweetness is precisely balanced, supported by delicate bitters and a great vegetal freshness. It features absinthe from Barjols, sweet mint, and verbena harvested in the south, bitter orange leaves, and precious Menton IGP lemon peels, which bring an elegant zesty note to the blend.
On the nose, the aroma is floral and citrusy, with mentholated and slightly herbaceous nuances. On the palate, the attack is smooth, sweet yet taut, very fresh. Verbena and mint offer an almost ethereal dimension, while citrus fruits structure the whole. The finish is long, vibrant, never sugary, with a beautiful floral and citrus persistence.
Perfect as an aperitif, Amoroso Blanc can be enjoyed neat, chilled, or in a cocktail. It also pairs very well with seafood dishes, a citrus salad, or white fruit-based desserts.
A luminous, elegant Provençal white vermouth that subtly enhances the herbs of the South.
La Grande Chaude, Blanc 2023
Philippe Chatillon
With La Grande Chaude 2023, Philippe Chatillon delivers an artisanal cuvée where Chardonnay, the noble grape of the Jura, finds a chiseled and deeply mineral expression. This organically certified cuvée, classified as AOC Côtes du Jura, comes from a rare and complex terroir: red Lias marls enriched with a dolomite bank – a soft limestone rock – which structures the top of the plot. This unique composition, located in Passenans, gives the wine a natural tension and great aromatic precision.
The 60-year-old vines yield concentrated fruit, which Philippe Chatillon vinifies by direct pressing, without artifice, before two years of aging in old barrels, where the wine slowly builds itself, sheltered from new wood, in a pure logic of respect for life.
The nose opens elegantly with zesty citrus, white flowers, discreet brioche notes, all carried by a prominent chalky minerality. On the palate, the texture is straight, taut, precise, almost saline, with a length that leaves a striking sensation of purity. It is a gastronomic white wine, intense but never heavy, combining the freshness of the Jura with the depth of great Chardonnay.
At the table, La Grande Chaude will enhance grilled fish, creamy poultry, or mushroom risotto. Decant it to allow it time to breathe, serve it between 10 and 12°C, and it can evolve over 5 years.
A great terroir wine, sensitive, lively, which reveals all of Philippe Chatillon's talent in the fine and luminous interpretation of his Jura soils.
Covenant Red 2020
Danis dans la Vigne
An exceptional Malbec, matured in the silence of the cellar
Covenant 2020 embodies the philosophy of long-term patience. A truly unique cuvée by Danis dans la Vigne, crafted with rare precision. This 100% Malbec, organically grown on the clay-limestone soils of deep Cahors, is naturally vinified without unnecessary oenological intervention, with a short maceration, then aged for three years in barrels, topped up only once a year. This demanding, bold method allows the wine to concentrate, oxidize slowly, and round out in a near-oxidative dynamic, before a year in stainless steel tanks, then a year of rest in the bottle.
A mature, complex, accomplished wine that contrasts with the sometimes raw image of Malbec. Covenant lives up to its name: a true pact between time, matter, and the winemaker's craft.
Deep, enveloping, meditative
Upon serving, the wine reveals a dark color with deep garnet reflections. The nose is captivating: bitter cocoa, sweet spices, stewed black fruit, truffle, almost a hint of leather. On the palate, it's a unique experience. The texture is velvety, full-bodied, yet perfectly balanced. The length is remarkable, persistent, with a saline finish. One senses a wine in full maturity, ready to be enjoyed, but also built for aging.
Covenant 2020 is perfect for noble red meats, game, a truffle dish, or even a dark chocolate dessert for the most adventurous. Serve at 16-18°C, without decanting, in a large glass that allows it time to breathe.
Gigondas Red 2022
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Nestled in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Gigondas terroir asserts itself with its quiet strength and raw beauty. Here, in this fiery enclave of the Southern Rhône Valley, the vines find refuge on steep, stony slopes, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the mistral wind. This poor and demanding soil, a mixture of marl and limestone, gives rise to grapes of rare intensity.
In this 2022 vintage, Les Grandes Serres presents a cuvée driven by a classic and remarkably effective duo: Grenache, the sun-drenched king of the south, which dominates the blend, and Syrah, which brings tension and depth. Together, they express the wild and sensual soul of this emblematic terroir.
Cultivation methods
True to a respectful approach to living things, Les Grandes Serres crafts this Gigondas using natural winemaking methods, without artifice, allowing the grapes to express themselves freely. The vines are cultivated in harmony with natural balances, without synthetic products, with meticulous care given to each vine. The harvest is done by hand, selecting grapes at perfect ripeness, guaranteeing healthy and concentrated raw materials. In the cellar, aging is carefully controlled with restraint, without masking the wine's personality, to preserve its original freshness and lusciousness.
Tasting & pairings
The 2022 Gigondas from Grandes Serres is a true explosion of pleasure. From the first sniff, it seduces with its intense aromas of ripe red fruits, crushed strawberry, juicy cherry, which mingle with notes of wild thyme, dark chocolate and a slightly smoky, almost meaty touch.
On the palate, it's a wave of generosity: ample, velvety, but never heavy. Natural freshness balances the richness of the fruit, and the finish lingers on melted tannins, with a touch of salinity that begs for another sip. A "bombshell of deliciousness," certainly, but also a wine of character, with depth and true elegance.
Ideal for accompanying a summer barbecue with friends, a beautiful platter of artisanal charcuterie, or a grilled piece of red meat, this Gigondas is both approachable and refined. Served slightly chilled, it will also surprise with its lightness despite its 15% alcohol content, proving that power can indeed be drinkable.
A sincere, vibrant wine that warmly and generously expresses its terroir.
Les Larmes du Soleil Red 2020
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Born in the heart of Beaujolais, but labeled a Vin de France, "Les Larmes de Damas 2020" is a singular Pinot Noir, with understated charm and a fiercely independent character. Cultivated off the beaten path, this wine draws its finesse and structure from the vibrant soils of the Rhône Valley, where the terroir, though not defined by an appellation, speaks with genuine sincerity. Here, the soils express themselves without artifice, offering Pinot Noir a delicate canvas for expression, full of tension and subtlety.
Cultivation methods
Tribu Alonso is above all a philosophy of respect and patience. Without a label, but with a deep commitment to life, the estate cultivates its vines with artisanal care, far removed from industrial standards. The vinification of this cuvée reflects this: a "Jura-style maceration" where half juice and half stems, without the stalks, are left to infuse for three months. A gentle and slow method, like a whisper addressed to the fruit, which emerges pure, vibrant, and delicately peppery.
Tasting & pairings
In the glass, "Les Larmes de Damas" reveals itself with quiet modesty. Its pale red color hints at its delicate texture. The nose evokes faded rose, crushed morello cherry, and a subtle note of white pepper that tantalizes the senses. On the palate, the wine glides with elegance, carried by a crystalline freshness and a caressing suppleness. No pretense, just touching sincerity, a simple yet lingering emotion.
This delicate red wine calls for dishes of equal quality: light, subtle cuisine that doesn't seek to overpower. Ideal as an aperitif, with a platter of fine charcuterie, a beetroot carpaccio with herbs, or a mature soft cheese. "Les Larmes de Damas" also complements a moment of silence, a gentle conversation, or the soft light of late afternoon.
A free, meditative wine that reconciles fruit, time, and the hand of man in a discreet yet profound harmony.
Non Ouillé White 2022
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
It is in the heart of Beaujolais that La Tribu Alonso has dared a bold departure, a joyful risk: producing an oxidative white wine, a rarity in this region more renowned for its fruity reds. For this cuvée, named Non Ouillé 2022, the Chardonnay grape lends itself gracefully to controlled oxidation, revealing an unexpected facet of its expression. Born from a terroir at the crossroads of influences, between the granite hills of Beaujolais and the more southerly breezes of the Rhône Valley, this wine embodies a true convergence of sensations. A first foray into this style for the estate—and a promising success.
Cultivation methods
The Tribu Alonso, as its name suggests, operates as a collective, with a vision of wine resolutely focused on people and the living world. Here, there are no labels, but a clear philosophy: to work as close to nature as possible, without artifice. The vines are cultivated without chemical inputs, respecting natural rhythms, and the winery becomes a place of gentle experimentation. For this cuvée, the choice not to top up the wine—that is, not to fill the barrels during aging—allows for slow oxidation, inspired by the wines of the Jura region. A way to explore new gustatory horizons, while showcasing the grape variety and the local terroir in a new light.
Tasting & pairings
From the very first whiff, Non Ouillé 2022 intrigues and seduces. One is immersed in a disconcerting yet captivating aromatic world: notes of anise, mild curry, and above all, that touch of nuttiness typical of oxidative whites, tickle the senses. On the palate, the texture is ample yet taut, with precise minerality and a beautiful freshness that perfectly balances the wine's buttery and saline character. A subtle interplay between unabashed rusticity and profound elegance.
This wine invites the unexpected at the table: perfect as an aperitif, with green olives, aged hard cheeses, or even a delicate Comté and caramelized onion tart. It also pairs beautifully with light, exotic cuisine, such as a vegetable curry or fish marinated in mild spices. This is a wine for the curious, for those who love new sensations, for those who enjoy venturing off the beaten path and discovering what Beaujolais can offer when it embraces other influences.
With Non Ouillé 2022, La Tribu Alonso has created a vintage of character, as free as it is precise, which redefines the contours of white wine in Beaujolais and invites us to broaden our perspective, glass in hand.
Dolce & Cabanon Red 2024
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
It is in the heart of Beaujolais, in a rural corner where vines grow undisturbed, that Dolce & Cabanon 2024 is born, an atypical, vibrant, and charming red wine. This cuvée, crafted by La Tribu Alonso, defies conventions with panache: it blends no fewer than 52 hybrid grape varieties, including 30% Seibel 54/55, enhanced by the aromatic freshness of Muscat Petit Grain—a rarity in red wines, here sublimely expressed. This vegetal kaleidoscope gives rise to a free and untamed wine, like a wild garden where every plant finds its place.
Cultivation methods
The vines are cultivated with care, in harmony with nature and the seasons, without haste or dogma. Each vine is tended by hand, each bunch harvested with respect, in a profoundly artisanal approach. This attentive work in the soil, this partnership with nature, allows the grape varieties, classic or forgotten, to express themselves with precision and spontaneity. In the cellar, the same philosophy prevails: simple gestures, intuitive winemaking, to let the wine speak for itself.
Tasting & pairings
Dolce & Cabanon 2024 is a juicy, supple, and easy-drinking red wine, both generous and light. From the first sniff, it seduces with its notes of ripe red fruit, enhanced by a touch of herbaceousness and spice. Then come almost unexpected hints of citrus, which refresh the whole and give this wine a playful, slightly mischievous rhythm. On the palate, the tannins express themselves gently, creating an elegant structure, always carried by freshness.
The perfect companion for summer barbecues, flame-grilled meats, or evenings in the garden with friends, this is a wine that invites sharing and simple moments. But behind this unabashed conviviality lies true craftsmanship, a quest for balance between rusticity and finesse, between nature and culture.

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Born from the dialogue between the ancestral terroir of Gaillac and a contemporary vision of winemaking, the YARD x Bois Moisset Sparkling Wine 2024 embodies a luminous encounter between tradition and freshness. The Bois Moisset estate, located in the heart of the Tarn vineyards, passionately cultivates the indigenous grape varieties Braucol and Duras. These varieties, typical of Southwest France, lend their unique character to this rosé: Braucol for its vivacity and aromas of red fruit, and Duras for its finesse and floral notes. The clay-limestone soil, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the breezes of the Tarn River, imparts a beautiful tension and a pure expression of fruit to the grapes.
Cultivation methods
Long committed to sustainable viticulture, Domaine Bois Moisset is certified organic. The vines are cultivated without synthetic inputs, in a living ecosystem where observation takes precedence over intervention. The soils are worked gently, fostering flourishing biodiversity and true harmony between the vine and its environment. This artisanal philosophy naturally extends to the cellar, where winemaking is as gentle as possible. The secondary fermentation, likely natural, gives this cuvée its sparkling, fine bubbles, without ever compromising the purity of the fruit.
Tasting & pairings
Slightly cloudy, by design, this 2024 sparkling rosé displays a delicate, salmon-pink hue. On the nose, an intoxicating bouquet of orange blossom and strawberry unfolds, reminiscent of the sweetness of a spring garden. On the palate, the bubbles are lively yet delicate, supporting a light and refreshing, almost carefree, texture. The overall impression is dry, remarkably drinkable, with a fruity touch that evokes homemade strawberry granita.
Ideal for pairing with lightly sweetened desserts, such as raspberry panna cotta or a delicate peach tart, this wine also proves remarkably well-suited to raw fish: sashimi, ceviche, or tartare harmonize beautifully with its floral freshness and fine acidity. A free-spirited, joyful, and genuine sparkling wine, perfect for spontaneous moments, summer aperitifs, and large gatherings where toasts are raised informally but with enthusiasm.
L'Oublié Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
In the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon, between wild garrigue and sun-drenched stony soils, L'Oublié 2021 tells a story of time, sun, and memory. This still red wine, from Mas Coutelou, is born from a blend of Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsault, three grape varieties deeply rooted in the winemaking history of the South. Each contributes its voice to this Mediterranean chorus: Syrah for structure and spice, Carignan for depth and texture, and Cinsault for freshness and fruity roundness. But what makes L'Oublié unique is its patient construction: a solera, or "perpetual" system, nourished by wines from eleven different vintages, including a 2001 Carignan, the first link in a living memory.
Cultivation methods
Jeff Coutelou, a free and inspired figure in the natural wine movement, cultivates his vines according to the principles of certified organic farming. At Mas Coutelou, each vine is cared for as an individual, each soil respected as a living organism. No chemical inputs, no compromises: nature expresses itself unfiltered, and the wine becomes a companion to life. The winemaking follows this same philosophy, free from artifice. No added sulfur, no corrections. It is the fruit, time, and energy of past vintages that shape this rare cuvée. The solera system, rarely used in still red wines, brings an almost mystical complexity, where each vintage enriches the next, in an infinite loop of transmission and depth.
Tasting & pairings
L'Oublié 2021 opens like a door to a warm and enveloping elsewhere. The nose is a sensory journey: patinated leather, ripe black fruits, bursts of red berries, sweet licorice, hints of oriental spices… On the palate, it is dense, sun-drenched, and sensual, yet without heaviness. The wine's energy is palpable, almost vibrant. Its breadth is combined with a lively tension, as if the older vintages were instilling wisdom and balance in the younger ones. This is a wine that tells a story with every sip, a memory passed down from the depths of the barrels.
At the table, it pairs wonderfully with a grilled ribeye steak, a confit shoulder of lamb, or a platter of fine charcuterie. But it can also stand on its own, as a contemplative wine, to be savored slowly, in the glow of a summer evening.
L'Oublié is not just any wine. It's a sensory manifesto, a collective work of time and earth, crafted by a visionary winemaker. A rare, profound bottle that deserves to be savored… so as not to be forgotten.

Under the name Danis dans la vigne, Danis Bessières vinifies organic grapes from the family 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: making 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 in this vein.
Malbec, but not only
Malbec reigns supreme in the Cadurcian region, but Danis also uses Cabernets, Jurançon Noir, Merlot, and recently created grape varieties, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Colombard as single-varietals. These experiments allow him to moderate the density and opacity of the main grape variety.
