Je t'aime moi non plus Sparkling Rosé 2024,

La Tribu Alonso

A natural sparkling wine that plays with emotions, "Je t'aime moi non plus" is a sparkling rosé by La Tribu Alonso, designed as a tribute to the sensuality and spontaneity of Gamay. Coming from a sunny granite terroir in Beaujolais, this festive and delicately fruity wine is produced using the ancestral method, offering a fine and delicious bubble, both fresh and velvety.

A seductive and airy Pet' Nat’

Made from three Gamay varieties (Vialla, Troye and Gascon), this wine seduces with its finesse and low alcohol content (8.5%), making it a perfect ally for moments of sharing without heaviness. The ancestral method, which consists of bottling the juice during fermentation, gives it a natural effervescence and a beautiful liveliness on the palate.

A delicate and captivating bouquet

Upon opening, the nose reveals a delicious blend of fresh raspberry, bright citrus fruits and juicy pear, with a slightly floral touch. On the palate, the velvety texture envelops the palate while retaining a refreshing acidity that perfectly balances its fruity generosity.

An ideal companion for an aperitif

With its fine bubbles and vibrant freshness, "Je t’aime moi non plus" is the perfect companion for convivial moments. Served between 10 and 12°C, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but also pairs wonderfully with light dishes such as tapas, seafood, or a strawberry and basil salad. Enjoy now or keep for up to 5 years to explore its evolution.

Domaine de La Gapette

One of those pure (and all too rare) Beaujolais whites! A 100% Chardonnay from vines planted on the granite and sandy soils around Mont Brouilly. On both the nose and palate, the Charpenay cuvée captivates with beautiful notes of freshly picked white fruits and a slightly honeyed finish.

La Sorga
A blend of 80% Aubunite and about 20% Aramon, with a little Auvergne Gamay and Carignan, grape varieties sourced mostly from the limestone sands around Carcassonne and the rest from the basalt soils of Auvergne. The Aubunite macerates in whole bunches; the other grape varieties are destemmed. The wine is bottled by hand, and disgorgement is performed by Antony himself. Its notes of red fruits and spices will complement an aperitif and will not disappoint a chocolate mousse. Aging potential: five years.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

TP Trepat Red 2021

Partida Creus
Made from Trepat, an ancient native Catalan grape variety, this red wine, classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), offers plenty of freshness with notes of red and black fruits (plum, pomegranate, cherry, raspberry), Mediterranean herbs, and well-integrated tannins, with touches of leather and a supple texture. On the palate, it is lively, light, and balanced, with suppleness. It allows for a very wide range of flavor pairings.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective—we're talking 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, 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.

L'air de Rien Sparkling Rosé 2020

Jérome Lambert
Despite its name, L'Air de rien is not lacking in air, as it has a healthy dose of bubbles, effervescence, pleasure, and color. This is a sparkling natural rosé with a beautiful light color, Montmorency cherry, crushed strawberry. Intensely refreshing with delicate mineral aromas and quite a few small red fruits, ennobled by a gentle bitterness that adds an extra dimension to this beautiful wine with sweet orange peel on the finish. This lovely and tender pet'nat' comes from a hand-harvested Gamay grape growing on schist and clay-limestone soils. The harvest is processed by direct pressing and the wine is aged on lees before disgorging.

To find out more
On his four-hectare estate, entirely organic and planted with Chenin, Grolleau, Gamay and Cabernet Franc, Jérôme is as much a winemaker as he is a farmer: he raises chickens, pigs, sheep and takes this mixed crop-livestock activity very seriously, coupled with the production of typical Anjou charcuterie. His Loire Eden, in fact, is located in the south of Anjou, in Rablay-sur-Layon. The son of a winemaker, as a child, he already enjoyed picking grapes, crushing them and letting them ferment. The desire to make wine has never left him, in fact: in 2003, he got his hands dirty, took part in pruning the vines at Philippe Cesbron's and took the opportunity to try his hand at some grapes donated by local winegrowers. The following year, his adventure really began with twenty ares of vines, but although his estate grew year by year, it would not reach one hectare for another fifteen years. In 2003, he discovered that adding sulfite was detrimental to the wines: he never added more and was completely satisfied with the result, without making too much noise about it around him. It was only a little later that he learned about the existence of natural wines and understood that he was not alone. All his vintages since then have been without added sulfur, and are nonetheless straightforward, drinkable and flawless. For him, even the wood of the barrels is an additive; This shows the attention he pays to the naturalness and truth of the vine.

Ti'Blanc Blanc 2021,

Paul Estève


It's good, it's white, it's aromatic, it's light, it's fresh, and it's easy to drink, to say the least. The color is distinct, tending toward orange, due to a brief maceration of one of the grape varieties. Ti'blanc stands out as an ampelographic synthesis of the Domaine des Miquettes for the simple reason that it brings together all of its white grape varieties. 2021 was, in fact, a very rainy vintage with a heavy harvest: the resulting wines had low alcohol content. Chrystelle and Paul therefore gathered all their Viogniers, Marsannes, and Chasselas and made Ti'blanc instead of making their usual cuvées. It is therefore a unique wine, exclusive to this vintage. Only the Chasselas is macerated for two days, which gives it a distinct orange color and a certain structure. The Viogniers and Chasselas were pressed directly. Ti’blanc has a low alcohol content (10.5°) but a nice acidity; it will therefore keep a little, but we recommend enjoying it young.

To find out more
Paul Estève and Chrystelle Vareille are the creators of the Domaine des Miquettes, whose great specificity is the use of Georgian techniques. They are passionate about this country in the Caucasus, the cradle of wine, where eight-thousand-year-old winemaking techniques are still used. At the heart of this viticulture is the qvevri, the buried jar where all the winemaking takes place: fermentation with skin maceration and aging. They set out to discover this country and returned with the decision to age all their wines in buried jars. They have twenty-six, but distinguish between tinajas (Spanish jars) for fermentation-maceration and buried "amphorae" for aging. No sulfur is added. For both reds and whites, the terracotta erases astringency and transmutes it into a velvety texture, a fruity and supple material.
The estate, located in Ardèche, is south of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Paul trained with René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, two great figures of natural wine in the Rhône Valley. With Chrystelle, he began by taking over Paul's family farm with two ares of vines, then in 2004 the entire estate, which now covers 4.3 hectares. The white grape varieties are located around the house, the red grape varieties are planted on steep hillsides, between 300 and 450 meters above sea level. The plots rest on a granite base with light soils: black mica granite, schist, and gneiss. Everything is grown organically (Ecocert) using biodynamic practices. The vines are cared for and fortified using plant decoctions and clay. The soils are worked by horse or winch and pickaxe. No chemical inputs are added to the vineyard work. The harvest is entirely manual.

Le Blouge à Nestor Rouge 2022

Domaine Bélicard

With Le Blouge à Nestor 2022, Domaine Bélicard offers us a unique cuvée, resolutely natural, free, and unconventional. The name says it all: a "blouge," a joyful contraction of white (blanc) and red (rouge), made from a blend of Gamay and Chardonnay, both organically grown in Beaujolais. A wine without artifice, to be shared without hesitation.

Here, the focus is on infusion: the hand-harvested grapes are vinified in whole bunches, with semi-carbonic fermentation that preserves all the freshness of the fruit. Maceration is short (about one month), then the wine is aged in wooden vats, with total respect for the juice, without any oenological inputs, using indigenous yeasts and very little, if any, sulfites.

In the glass, Le Blouge à Nestor seduces with its light, almost cloudy ruby color. The nose evokes fresh red fruits, kirsch cherry, spicy notes, and a floral touch. The palate is supple, fluid, incredibly easy-drinking but not simplistic. There's a beautiful liveliness, a light body, melted tannins, and a slightly spicy finish.

This is a wine made for aperitifs with friends, fine charcuterie, a warm salad, tapas, or simply for opening a good bottle without a specific occasion. Le Blouge is pure pleasure in a bottle, with that artisanal and sincere touch one expects from a well-made natural wine.

Beaujolais Lancié, Red 2020

Domaine Bélicard

This Beaujolais Villages cuvée from Domaine Bélicard embodies a more mature and profound version of Gamay, thanks to a sunny vintage and extended aging in large oak casks. A natural, authentic wine, 100% Gamay noir, drawing its structure and tension from the granite soils of Lancié, in the heart of Beaujolais.

Noble aging for vibrant fruit

Vinified in whole bunches, with a short maceration to preserve the grape's vibrancy, this wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation, without any oenological additives. The particularity of this 2020 version lies in its 8-month aging in large oak casks, a noble container that respects the fruit while bringing complexity and depth. This choice gives birth to a more accomplished cuvée, capable of aging while remaining pleasant in its youth.

A supple yet characterful red

The nose opens with candied red fruits, enhanced by sweet spices and a kirsch-like touch typical of well-ripened Gamay. On the palate, the attack is full, the texture velvety, supported by a beautiful mineral freshness. The balance is there: roundness, depth, and drinkability unite without heaviness.

For aperitif or more, if you wish

Serve between 14 and 16 °C, this Beaujolais Lancié 2020 expresses itself equally well alone as an aperitif or paired with stewed dishes, roasted white meats, or artisanal charcuterie. A lively wine to drink now or to keep for up to 5 years.

Bain de Bulles - Guy Wurtz White 2022

Fréderic Cossard

He's a Vin de France, but this pet'nat' doesn't lack distinction. Bain de bulles Guy Wurtz is an organic and natural wine produced in Burgundy by Frédéric Cossard from Gewurztraminer grapes harvested in Alsace. Guy Würtz, Gewurztraminer, you get it? All that's left is to pop the cork and enjoy: it's a truly delicious wine.

Vinification

Frédéric Cossard has vinified a biodynamically produced Alsace Gewurztraminer into a natural sparkling wine. The maceration of the grapes produces a light pinkish tint: we could call it a sparkling orange wine.

Tasting

Bath of Bubbles Guy Wurtz by Frédéric Cossard is pure pleasure: effervescence, sweetness, flavor, complexity, and a lot of euphoria. A wine for the holidays and for celebration. Drink chilled. Its pairing with seafood, especially oysters, is heavenly. To discover Gewurztraminer in a very different form, try it in skin maceration at Domaine Einhart.

Frédéric Cossard and the Domaine de Chassorney give organic and natural voice to the terroirs and wines of Burgundy and elsewhere, undistorted by agricultural chemicals, according to the style and convictions of this winegrower and merchant. Wherever his grapes come from, his wines bear the Cossard brand, both classic and innovative.

Between viticulture and trade

Frédéric Cossard created the domaine de Chassorney 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 trading house and buys organic grapes from the greatest climates of Burgundy, but also from Jura, Languedoc and elsewhere.

A solid commitment to nature

At Frédéric Cossard, the work of the soil and the vines is done naturally: plowing by horse, no chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. 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.

LP Clarete Red 2021,

Ladidadi/Pinheiro

Clarete ("clairet") lives up to its name with its light, airy tannins. Medium-bodied, it is crisp, vibrant, and lively with refreshing acidity. It is a wine full of red fruits and spices, elegant without being solemn, and therefore suitable for all occasions. This is a blend of red and white grape varieties that represents an ampelographic anthology of the estate, as it brings together 80% red grape varieties (Jaen, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro) and 20% white grape varieties (Encruzado, Bical, Malvasia, Cerceal and Terrantez). The effect produced by this blend is an increased fluidity of the red wine, which becomes supple and light. The vines grew on granite and clay-sand soils facing south in the hills of Penalva do Castelo, surrounded by oak, pine, olive and chestnut trees. The harvest is manual. The grapes are destemmed and slowly crushed by foot for two days before macerating in stainless steel vats. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts. Aging is ten months and bottling is done without filtration. No chemical inputs are added to the vineyard or the winery.

To find out more

The duality of the name Ladidadi/Pinheiro is simply due to the fact that this winemaking entity is the result of a friendship: that of Florian Tonello, creator of the Ladidadi Wine brand, wine merchant-DJ-globetrotter who devotes his life to making natural wines known and loved, and Hugo Pinheiro, winemaker at the head of a small estate of two and a half hectares in Penalva do Castelo, district of Viseu, Dão appellation (central Portugal). Together, they decided to produce several vintages of natural wines, obtained through organic farming, manual harvests, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without filtration or the addition of sulfites, from the emblematic grape varieties of the appellation on an estate planted around thirty years ago, with a small part planted in the 1980s. We therefore find Touriga Nacional as the main grape variety in red, followed by Clarete, Jaen and Encruzado, and in white Malvasia, Cerceal, Bical and Terrantez. Vibrant, lively wines, and a great opportunity to discover Portugal's wine-growing region in natural mode.

XL Ancestral Sparkling White 2021

Partida Creus
"With its delicious, straightforward, saline acidity and fine, festive bubbles, this smoky, deep, full-bodied, mineral, and explosive sparkling wine is a true invitation to celebrate. The nose offers aromas of ripe white fruits—apple, pear, white peach—followed by mineral notes on the palate that frame yeasty touches reminiscent of buttery pastries and fresh bread. Very elegant, XL Xarel·lo Ancestral is a highly drinkable and enjoyable Vino de Mesa (table wine). Made from the indigenous Catalan Xarel·lo grape variety, harvested by hand and directly pressed, it is fermented in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts and finishes fermenting in bottles on fine lees for a minimum of ten months, without the slightest addition of sulfites.

GT Garrut Red 2017

Partida Creus

With GT Garrut, a lovely and unusual single-varietal wine, the surprise knows no bounds and thirst is quickly quenched. The purplish color alone is a testament to its originality. It is made entirely from Garrut, a Catalan grape variety related to Mourvèdre, also called Monastrell. GT Garrut displays beautiful, earthy and intense qualities, with a strong black fruit character, particularly blackberry (blackberry or tree blackberry). Beautiful notes of red fruit as well, and a delicious acidity. This brilliant wine, perfect for the summer months, is harvested by hand. Fully destemmed, the grapes macerate for three days with a punch-down every three hours, and the alcoholic fermentation on indigenous yeasts takes place for four months in stainless steel vats, followed by twenty months in oak barrels. Unfiltered, unfined, no sulfites added. GT Garrut smells of family vines, artisanal, wine without limits.

Fleurie Red 2022,

Domaine Bélicard

Within the Fleurie AOP, an emblematic terroir of Beaujolais, Domaine Bélicard produces wines of great elegance, faithful to the expression of Gamay Noir. Certified organic (AB, Eurofeuille), this cuvée comes from 39-year-old vines planted on granite soils, providing both finesse and structure.

A powerful and structured Fleurie

Vinified according to Beaujolais tradition, with whole-bunch maceration, this wine benefits from 10 months of barrel aging, which refines its tannins and enriches its aromatic palette. This meticulous work gives the 2022 vintage a beautiful tannic structure, while respecting the purity of the fruit.

An expressive nose and a fleshy palate

On the nose, this organic Fleurie reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits, accompanied by a subtle woody touch. On the palate, the attack is ample, the tannins very present, bringing a beautiful body and a persistent finish. This balance between fruit and structure makes it a wine of character, made for aging.

Served at 14-16°C, this Fleurie AOP is ideal with grilled red meats, game birds or even roast veal. Its structure also allows it to be enjoyed as an aperitif, alongside fine charcuterie. With an aging potential of 5 years, it will gain in complexity and finesse over time.

Vino Rosso Rossetto Red 2021,

Corva Gialla

Fruit and drinkability above all: Rossetto was designed to be joyful and easy to drink. Azienda Corvagialla sought to promote maximum acidity in the harvest to obtain a pleasant wine with a very present fruity note: cherry and strawberry, on the nose as well as on the palate. This wine is a distinguished gurgling wine, a wine for pleasure and relaxation with friends that you will love to return to on any occasion. Rossetto is a 100% Sangiovese from the most vigorous plot of the vineyard: made up of volcanic soils, it faces west and is located at an altitude of 450 meters. The harvest is destemmed and macerated for about three weeks with daily pumping over or punching down as needed. After fermentation, Rossetto is aged in fiberglass vats until bottling in March.

The Azienda Corva Gialla ("yellow crow") is a wine estate in Lazio, Italy, located on the edge of Umbria in the Alta Tuscia Viterbese. A volcanic region considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and characterized by its calanches, tall tuff rock formations delimiting deep valleys carved by numerous streams and torrents. Corva Gialla is located in Lubriano, opposite Civita di Bagnoregio. Alta Tuscia is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemaking talents devoted to nature who are promoting these lands deprived throughout history. Founded in 2017, the estate comprises four hectares cultivated by Beatrice Arweiler, originally from another wine-growing region, between the Rhine and the Moselle. The new owner also planted an olive grove (Frantoio and Leccino varieties) and developed the estate into a mixed crop and livestock system. The vines were planted with the help of Gian Marco Antonuzzi of the Le Coste estate. The friable volcanic soil lends itself beautifully to viticulture and the planting of grape varieties such as Grechetto d'Umbria, Trebbiano, Vermentino, Sangiovese, and Ciliegiolo. The estate's wines are quintessentially Italian, meaning they are crafted primarily for enjoyment. They are straightforward, deep, and easy to drink, expressing the strong minerality of their soils.

Magnum Les années folles Sparkling White 2010

Jean-Pierre Robinot

Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Le Rocher red 2017

Nicolas Chemarin

Le Rocher is made from Beaujolais Gamay grapes grown in the Combe Fleurette area, at an altitude of 550 meters and on an average 40% slope, facing south, on a plot of blue granite with very shallow soil. The 25-year-old vines rest on a rocky outcrop. The harvest is left to vat for 40 days in whole bunches with regular turning. After pressing, the young wine is aged on fine lees in Burgundy oak barrels. Bottling is done in the waning moon, without fining or filtration. This infinitely silky and delicious red, very mineral and very straight, will accompany meats in sauce, noble fish and even chocolate desserts.
Tasting temperature: between 14 and 16 °C.

Natural wine without added sulfites.

Cloé Rosé 2017

Abbazia San Giorgio
Cloé is a Nerello Mascalese from the Sicilian estate Abbazia San Giorgio, planted on terraces. The grapes grow on volcanic soils poor in organic matter. Harvested at the end of September, they undergo a brief maceration, then are aged in stainless steel vats and chestnut barrels for 6 months. This is a rosé with character, boasting great freshness in addition to its floral aromas.

La Tour Sarazine White 2022

Jean-Yves Péron

La Tour Sarazine is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron. Made from Muscat à Petit Grain, this white wine macerated in Vin de France is sometimes blended with Jacquère when the vintage is low-yielding.

Vinification

Sourced from a schistose micro-plot in the Albertville vineyard, the La Tour Sarazine harvest ferments using carbonic maceration for fifteen days. After pressing, it is aged for one year in tuns and barrels. Unfiltered, unfined, no added sulfites.

Tasting

Jean-Yves Péron's Tour Sarazine has a very muscat profile – musky, floral, aromatic, exotic – reinforced by the mineral clarity of Savoyard schist. For pairings, it's a call to the imagination, between cheeses and cuisines from elsewhere: for the former, we recommend them creamy, and for the latter, don't hesitate to delve into Asian repertoires.

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 Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies 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 slopes, his hand-worked mountain vines in micro-plots receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. 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.
