Night Potion Skin Contact White 2021,

Clos Lentiscus

Night Potion Skin Contact is an organic and natural dry white wine certified CCPAE (Catalan Council for Organic Agriculture) and biodynamic, produced by Clos Lentiscus in the Baix-Penedés region (Catalonia).

Vinification

Produced on the limestone soils of the Garraf Natural Park, Night Potion Skin Contact is made using skin maceration, hence its name and its solid, structured yet velvety character. It is made from 100% native Catalan grapes, xarel lo, and is vinified in terracotta containers.

Tasting

Pleasant, pleasant, and adaptable to all occasions, Night Potion Skin Contact is a wine that goes with everything. Its minerality is matched only by its freshness, so there's no need to think about it any longer: let's quickly open this bottle to appreciate its all-terrain qualities, its controlled acidity, and its aromatic charm. It will pair well with tapas, raw, cooked, or smoked fish and seafood.

Learn more about Clos Lentiscus

In Sitges, Catalonia, in the Penedès appellation, Clos Lentiscus is an organic and natural wine estate located in the heart of the Garraf Natural Park. In a superb landscape of Mediterranean greenery, Manel Avinyo, nicknamed "the Bubbleman", his brother Joan and his daughter Núria specialize in cavas, sparkling wines made using the traditional method, and also make some still wines, all biodynamically, without added additives or sulfites.

History of Clos Lentiscus

The family has been established here since at least the 14th century. When the two brothers took over the estate, organic, biodynamic and additive-free winemaking replaced conventional practices, allowing this beautiful property to regain its former prestige: in the 19th century, its wines were sold in France and as far away as the Americas.

The Clos Lentiscus style

Purity, elegance and a crisp minerality characterize the organic and natural wines of Clos Lentiscus. This Catalan estate also produces still wines. The grape varieties are traditionally Catalan: Sumoll, Ull de Llebre, Xarel-lo, Cartoixà Vermell, Cariñena, and especially Malvasia from Sitges, accompanied by Tempranillo and Muscat from Alexandria. The vines are old, sometimes centuries old. No synthetic additives are used in the vineyard, where operations are dictated by the lunar phases. Pollination is facilitated by the presence of beehives, whose honey sometimes supports the secondary fermentation of the grapes.

Mensonge à Papa Red 2021

Belly Wine Experiment

Fresh, supple, fruity, light, and easy-drinking, Mensonge à Papa is a delicious wine for aperitifs, sharing, thirst quenching, meals, and good company. It proudly carries the banner of Gamay from two regions: Auvergne (from Châteaugay, near Riom, on calcareous-volcanic soils) and Beaujolais (from Rivolet, on blue granite). It is the result of a blend of equal parts of these two origins of the same grape variety, with a shared family resemblance, but also a marked difference: the Gamay from Auvergne has more acidity. Lie to Dad is therefore, in a way, an ode to Gamay. The grapes are first slowly pressed, then their must is added to whole bunches (of Gamay, surprise!) for a fifteen-day carbonic maceration. The aging takes place for a year in fiberglass vats. No chemical inputs are added during the cultivation and vinification, and in particular no sulfites. Classified as a Vin de France and with an alcohol content of 13.5%, it will be wonderful as an aperitif or with food, or just to have a good time.

Founded and run by Claire Sage and Aimé Duveau, located in Chanteuges (Haute-Loire), Belly Wine Experiment is as much an experiment as a winemaking business. The creative duo has a lot to live up to: Claire is the sister of Daniel Sage, a fan of underwater wine aging but above all an importer of Catalan wines. Hence the presence of Catalan grape varieties in Belly Wine Experiment's blends, alongside Burgundy, Auvergne, and Jura grape varieties, readily found in the same bottle. Aimé is the son of Manu Duveau, a poet-winemaker from Auvergne, a former stonemason, and a great winemaker of local Gamays at his Domaine de l'Égrappille. The uniqueness of Belly Wine Experiment is the exoticism (in the literal sense) of the blends, with Xarel lo from Catalonia, for example, being able to sit alongside Gamay from Puy-de-Dôme with the utmost naturalness. The wines are made using semicarbonic maceration, without the addition of chemical additives or excessive manipulation in the cellar. The house is also known for its very high-quality, vinous perries.

Ganache Red 2021,

Domaine de l'Octavin

A complex, innovative, and delicious wine, obtained after eight weeks of whole-bunch maceration. Bottling was done in June 2022. Ganache is not far from Grenache, that's it, you get the idea, and Gamay joins the fray. The famous southern grape variety, cultivated biodynamically and harvested in Carpentras (SCEA L’Authentique by Claude Ughetto), vinified in the Jura, doesn’t feel out of place at all: nothing prevents it from unleashing its brazenly fruity notes – cherry, fresh and candied strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, plum, dried fruit – enhanced with plum, black pepper, spices and chocolate. All that? Yes. Don’t be surprised by a slight reduction upon opening: aerate the wine, decant, or let it wait a little in the glass, it will disappear.

“You don’t need anything,” says Alice Bouvot, winemaker at Domaine de l’Octavin, “just a grape that’s comfortable in its own skin.” Everything is said in favor of natural wine, it’s a perfect description. Established in 2005, Domaine d'Alice is located in Arbois, in the Jura wine region, often described as the most organic vineyard in France. The practice of producing – among other things – oxidative wines is a good preparation for nature, as this type of wine does not allow any chemical additives and especially no sulfites. It is a secret of this magnificent region. Originally spread over two hectares, the estate, managed entirely biodynamically (Demeter) since 2010, has expanded through the gradual acquisition of plots and now covers seven hectares. An accomplished musician and passionate music lover, Alice aims to apply her musical sensitivity to the wines she makes. She draws a parallel between the technical perfection of conventional wines, which risks excluding feeling, while "a musician who does not know music theory and plays with his guts creates emotion." For her, living wine is like this: instinctive, improvised, emotional. Introduced to natural wine by Stéphane Planche, sommelier at chef Jean-Paul Jeunet in Arbois, she faithfully followed this path. The sometimes whimsical names of her vintages are inspired sometimes by musical art (Dorabella, Zerline), sometimes by the numerous plots of land that make up her vineyard (En Curon, Les Corvées, En Poussot, etc.), and do not disdain a pun from time to time. Likewise, the labels adorned with happy and salacious little gnomes are a signature of the estate. As for the grape varieties, they are the classics of the Jura: Poulsard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir for the reds, and Chardonnay, Savagnin for the whites. Alongside her Arbois wines, Alice has created a business selling "on the vine" grapes (Ecocert certified) with her winegrower friends in the region. Natural, committed, joyful and highly drinkable, Alice Bouvot's wines are all the more sought-after as the vintages, produced in plot-by-plot mode, appear, disappear and reappear depending on the vintage and inspiration.

Vino Rosato Rosé 2021

Corva Gialla
Here is Vino Rosato, a beautiful Italian wine from the Lazio region whose pretty light pink color heralds pleasant floral notes on the nose and palate: rose, red fruits, citrus, acidity, and a touch of bitterness on the finish, reminiscent of grapefruit peel, which gives it a lot of charm. It is a blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes. The Montepulciano harvest macerates for 48 hours on the skins before being pressed, while the Sangiovese is pressed directly at the entrance to the winery. The musts are then fermented together in fiberglass vats where they are further refined until bottling in March. Vino Rosato will suit everything you want from a rosé, and more: its purity and balance raise it above the standard image of summer rosés. We recommend it in any season and particularly with food.

The Azienda Corva Gialla ("yellow crow") is a winery 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, high tuff rock formations delimiting deep valleys carved by numerous rivers and torrents. Corva Gialla is located in Lubriano, opposite Cività di Bagnoregio. Alta Tuscia is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemaking talents dedicated to nature, who are reclaiming these historically neglected lands. 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 has also planted an olive grove (Frantoio and Leccino varieties) and converted the estate into a mixed crop-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.

Sylvaner Natural White 2020,

Les Spontanés de GILG

The color of this beautiful dry natural Sylvaner is pale yellow with golden highlights. The nose is powerful and complex, laden with aromas of ripe stone fruit. On the palate, it is round, spherical, polished, generous, and slightly rich, with notes of grapefruit and peach. The finish is long and full of flavor. Within the diverse range of wines produced by the Gilg family, the Les Spontanés series is dedicated to natural wines, with no additives or sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar. This pure Sylvaner comes from young vines, aged eight years; It is ready to drink now and is ideally served between 8 and 10 °C.

Belonging to a family established since 1601 in the Alsatian wine-growing village of Mittelbergheim, the Armand Gilg estate bears the name of its founder, who resolutely oriented the family business towards viticulture in 1937. Since then, the Gilgs have remained in charge, having expanded the vineyard from an initial one hectare to twenty-nine hectares, purchased centuries-old cellars for bottles and tuns, and built buildings for pressing and other winemaking activities. The estate, classified as HVE (High Environmental Value) for several years, acquired organic farming certification in 2021. Its plots, scattered around the village, are grouped into around a hundred groups, including five hectares on the famous Grand Cru of Zotzenberg, one of the most renowned lieux-dits in Alsace, and one hectare planted solely with Riesling on the Grand Cru Moenchberg. Production embraces all seven traditional Alsatian grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer), also including Chardonnay for the Crémants and the Klevener de Heiligenstein (Savagnin Rose). While all the vintages of the Gilg estate are organic, two natural vintages are produced, one based on Pinot Noir, the other on Sylvaner, within the Les Spontanés series dedicated to wines without additives.

Magnum BB "Cerrailla" Red 2019

Partida Creus
The Partida Creus estate is the brainchild of two Piedmontese natives from the Langhe (where wine is well-known), Antonella Gerosa and Massimo Marchiori, who initially 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 found a wealth 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 heritage rescue, no: it's a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will continue to make 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. This is why their estate is as important from a winemaking perspective as it is from a historical perspective - we are talking here about the history of the vine in Catalonia.
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. This 100% Bobal is a racy and finely wild red from the Cerrailla plot, built on a grape variety common in Spain but whose expression here is very original. Dark cherry red color; on the nose, candy, sweet flowers, fresh fruits, violet, thyme. On the palate, a lot of distinction: a straight acidity and morello cherry, ripe plum, black pepper, a small saline touch on the finish. Serve well chilled.

Fleurie Rouge 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Un Fleurie naturel, signé d’une main libre

Dans cette cuvée Fleurie 2023, Frédéric Cossard applique son approche minimaliste et instinctive à l’un des plus grands crus du Beaujolais. Ici, pas de maquillage œnologique, pas d’intrants, seulement du raisin de gamay, récolté sur des sols argilo-calcaires typiques de l’appellation, et vinifié naturellement en semi-carbonique. Un Fleurie à la fois fidèle à son terroir et animé d’une liberté de ton toute bourguignonne.

La justesse d’un vin vivant

La fermentation semi-carbonique, emblématique du Beaujolais, permet au gamay de s’exprimer avec intensité et souplesse. L’élevage en cuve inox pendant un an conserve toute la fraîcheur et le croquant du fruit, sans l’alourdir d’un élevage boisé. Le vin n’est ni collé ni filtré, et les levures utilisées sont uniquement indigènes. Résultat : une matière juteuse, des tanins soyeux, un jus vibrant et parfaitement équilibré.

Un nez charmeur, une bouche qui appelle le partage

Au nez, Fleurie 2023 séduit immédiatement par ses arômes francs de fruits rouges bien mûrs, de mûre sauvage, de cerise juteuse et une touche florale subtile. En bouche, la texture est souple, presque satinée, avec une belle acidité qui soutient l’ensemble sans jamais dominer. Gourmand, léger mais structuré, c’est un rouge joyeux, solaire et élégant.

À table ou à l’apéro, il met tout le monde d’accord

Parfait pour l’apéritif, une planche de charcuterie fine, un poulet rôti, des légumes grillés ou une cuisine bistronomique. À servir légèrement rafraîchi, entre 14 et 16°C. Pas besoin de carafage. Potentiel de garde : 5 ans.

Fredo'Trousses Rouge 2023

Fréderic Cossard

Le Trousseau, cépage emblématique du Jura, trouve ici une interprétation toute personnelle sous la main de Frédéric Cossard. Cueilli dans le Jura mais vinifié en Bourgogne, ce vin 100 % nature s’inscrit dans la continuité du travail de Cossard : des infusions légères, expressives, sans artifice, vinifiées en grappes entières.

Vinification naturelle et macération tout en douceur

Les raisins sont vendangés à maturité, macérés en grappes entières pendant deux semaines, sans levures ni intrants. La fermentation est spontanée, puis le vin est élevé 8 mois en cuve inox, pour préserver le fruit, l’éclat du cépage et sa buvabilité. Un vin libre, sans maquillage, et à l’aise dans sa simplicité.

Un rouge digeste, fluide, à l’expression nette

Au nez, on devine une trame fruitée et discrètement épicée, bien que les arômes restent encore un peu retenus à l’ouverture. C’est pourquoi une aération de quelques minutes est recommandée. En bouche, on retrouve une matière légère, glissante, avec des tanins très fins et une belle fraîcheur. C’est un vin vivant, tout en délicatesse, qui se boit sans effort.

À déguster dans les cinq ans

Servez-le entre 14 et 16 °C, sur un apéritif dinatoire, une planche végétarienne ou une cuisine simple, voire légèrement épicée. C’est une bouteille conviviale, qui invite au partage et à la découverte, dans l’esprit du vin naturel moderne.

Vigneron nature de Bourgogne, il cultive aussi des raisins dans d’autres régions, comme ici dans le Jura, pour en révéler une expression personnelle et sincère. Fidèle à sa philosophie, cette cuvée est issue d’une vinification sans intrants, sans levures ajoutées, et sans sulfites. Le résultat : un vin vivant, pur, et intensément gourmand.

Pinot Noir jurassien, vinifié en Bourgogne

Cette cuvée 100 % Pinot Noir provient de raisins cultivés dans le Jura, sur des sols argilo-calcaires, puis vinifiés dans le chai de Frédéric en Bourgogne. Une macération en grappes entières de deux semaines permet une extraction en douceur, avant un élevage de 8 mois en cuve inox, pour préserver l’éclat du fruit et la tension naturelle.

Un rouge frais et fruité, facile mais pas simple

Au nez, on retrouve des arômes nets de petits fruits rouges, de griotte et une touche florale légère. La bouche est souple, digeste, avec une trame minérale et des tanins fins qui structurent sans dominer. L’ensemble est juteux, désaltérant, et d’une belle pureté. À 11 %, ce vin allie légèreté et caractère.

Accords & service : plaisir immédiat

Idéal à l’apéritif ou avec des viandes blanches, ce Pinot Noir nature peut aussi accompagner une cuisine végétale ou des charcuteries fines. À servir entre 14 et 16°C, sans carafage. À boire jeune pour son éclat, ou dans les 5 prochaines années pour profiter de son évolution subtile.

Produit en IGP Terre Siciliane, ce millésime 2024 est un assemblage de Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Capuccio, Minnella, Alicante Bouschet et Uva Francesa, cultivés en agriculture biologique sur des sols volcaniques à haute altitude.

Un vin nature, précis et profond

Ici, tout est mis en œuvre pour traduire la minéralité et la tension des pentes de l’Etna, tout en conservant une buvabilité remarquable.

Entre finesse et structure

Le nez est intensément floral et fruité, mêlant violette, fruits noirs, épices douces et une touche légèrement fumée. En bouche, la trame est tannique mais fluide, avec une attaque vive, un cœur généreux et une finale poivrée, saline, pleine d’énergie. Le style est à la fois rustique et moderne, élégant mais sans maquillage.

À carafer et à partager

Servez caraffé 30 minutes, entre 16 et 18 °C. Susucaru Rosso est à l’aise sur des plats relevés, viandes rouges, grillades, charcuteries, ou tout simplement à l’apéritif pour ceux qui aiment les rouges naturels à forte personnalité. Potentiel de garde : jusqu’à 5 ans.

L'as des années folles Rosé Pétillant 2021

Jean-Pierre Robinot

Le souffle libre des bulles naturelles

Poète, vigneron, visionnaire, Jean-Pierre Robinot a su imposer sa vision du vin naturel : lenteur, précision et spontanéité. Il vinifie sans intrants ni artifices, en laissant au vin tout le temps de se révéler. Dans cette cuvée pétillante, il marie finesse aromatique et profondeur de matière avec une élégance rare.

Méthode ancestrale sur schistes et barriques

L’As des années folles est un vin rosé effervescent issu d’un assemblage de Chenin et de Pineau d’Aunis. Les raisins, cultivés sur des sols de schistes, sont vinifiés selon la méthode ancestrale, c’est-à-dire sans adjonction de levures ou de sucre. La fermentation est interrompue puis reprise en bouteille pour une prise de mousse naturelle. Le vin est ensuite élevé longuement sur lattes, en barriques de plusieurs vins, ce qui lui confère texture, complexité et persistance.

Un rosé pétillant ample et floral

Au nez, le bouquet évoque la rose ancienne, la violette, les fruits rouges croquants et une touche épicée propre au Pineau d’Aunis. En bouche, la bulle est fine, la matière charnue, presque veloutée, avec une fraîcheur bien intégrée. L’élevage prolongé apporte longueur et profondeur, sans perdre la vivacité joyeuse du style pét-nat.

Accords & service : bulle de gastronomie

À déguster dès l’apéritif, avec une belle charcuterie artisanale, des tapas ou une cuisine subtilement épicée. Ce rosé pétillant naturel s’exprime idéalement entre 10 et 12°C. Il pourra se conserver plus de 10 ans pour gagner en complexité, ou se savourer dès maintenant pour sa fraîcheur gourmande.

Bistrologie Blanc 2023

Jean-Pierre Robinot

Poète du Chenin libre

Jean-Pierre Robinot incarne une vision singulière du vin naturel : celle d’un artisan engagé, à l’écoute de ses terroirs, du temps et du vivant. Dans sa cave ligérienne, il vinifie sans intrants ni levures commerciales, privilégiant l’élevage long en barrique pour laisser les jus s’exprimer avec justesse. Ses vins sont à la fois sincères, vibrants et émouvants.

Bistrologie, l’énergie du fruit dans le calcaire

Issue de vignes cultivées sur sols argilo-calcaires, cette cuvée 100 % Chenin blanc offre une expression franche et gourmande du cépage. Après un pressurage direct, le vin est élevé pendant un an en barriques ayant déjà contenu plusieurs vins. Ce contenant neutre permet une oxygénation lente sans influence boisée, pour un résultat pur et cristallin.

Fruits confits, minéralité et tension

Le nez évoque l’abricot mûr, le coing, les fleurs blanches et une touche de miel sec. En bouche, l’attaque est fraîche et tendue, puis le vin s’arrondit avec un joli volume porté par les fruits blancs confits. L’équilibre entre la vivacité et la richesse naturelle du Chenin est maîtrisé. La finale minérale, légèrement saline, prolonge le plaisir avec élégance.

Accords & service : à la fois festif et gastronomique

Bistrologie s’apprécie aussi bien à l’apéritif qu’à table, sur des poissons fins, des viandes blanches, ou même des plats végétaux aux notes sucrées-salées. Servir entre 10 et 12°C, sans carafage. Cette cuvée nature peut être bue dès aujourd’hui, mais saura aussi vieillir plus de 10 ans avec grâce.

Robe rosée pâle légèrement trouble, mousse fine et naturelle, et au nez, des notes de petits fruits rouges, de grenade et une touche florale délicate.

Les Larmes du Soleil Red 2020

La Tribu Alonso

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.

Lutea Gentian Liqueur

Lutea Spirits

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Nestled in the heart of the volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region, Lutéa Spirits draws its inspiration from the wild hills and high-altitude meadows of this authentic area. It is here, on these living, nourishing soils, that the fresh yellow gentian, queen of bitter plants, flourishes. Hand-picked with respect for the plant's natural rhythm, this powerful root embodies the botanical and mountain identity of Lutéa liqueur, a true tribute to a preserved and untamed terroir.

Cultivation methods

True to its artisanal and committed vision, Lutéa Spirits works exclusively with certified organic ingredients. Every step, from cultivation to maceration, is designed to reveal the purity of the plants, without artifice or compromise. The gentian roots are freshly harvested and then carefully infused alongside other meticulously selected botanicals: basil, mint, licorice, anise... so many botanical touches that enrich the aromatic profile. No coloring, no superfluous additives: here, nature expresses itself in its purest form.

Tasting & pairings

Lutéa Gentian Liqueur 2024 is an ode to vegetal freshness. From the first whiff, it unfolds captivating aromas of raw gentian, crisp basil, and invigorating mint, enhanced by bursts of bright citrus and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: the gentle bitterness of gentian intertwines with anise and lemon notes, in a warm and lingering roundness.

As an aperitif, it can be enjoyed chilled, neat, or lengthened with a splash of sparkling water or dry tonic to reveal its complexity and vivacity. It also pairs brilliantly with a platter of mountain cheeses, black olives, or even a citrus and fresh herb dessert. Warm, intense, yet always elegant, this organic liqueur captivates with its aromatic purity and wild touch.

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 Red 2017

Corva Gialla
Red fruits, mineral and earthy notes, tertiary aromas, spices, and tobacco: this sums up the profile of Vino Rosso, the emblematic red of Azienda Corva Gialla, with beautiful notes of evolution and a pronounced but not excessive full-bodiedness. The richness, due to a high natural sugar content during fermentation, and the polyphenolic maturity are remarkable, as well as the balance between velvety and tannicity, lightness and body, roundness and acidity. On the nose, notes of spices such as cinnamon, black pepper, and fennel; On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dominated by red fruits: ripe cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Black fruits and plum are not left out, and delicious aromas of dried fruits (prune, fig) combine with spices on the finish. Vino Rosso is a 100% Sangiovese from vines planted at an altitude of 450 meters on a west-facing plot with volcanic soils. The harvest is destemmed and macerated for about three weeks in fiberglass vats, with daily pumping over or punching down as needed. Vino Rosso is aged for twelve months in chestnut barrels and at least two years in bottles before being marketed.

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.

Vino Rosso Poggio Pastene Red 2016,

Corva Gialla
Poggio Pastene is a superior red from the Corva Gialla range; it is produced only in the finest vintages and comes from the finest plot on the estate. It is dense and full-bodied, with a supple texture and well-integrated tannins, and superb accents of leather and tobacco. The nose is intense and persistent—notes of red fruits, rose, and violet. On the palate, the olfactory sensations are confirmed, supported by a beautiful structure. Poggio Pastene is dry and straightforward, well-balanced between roundness and acidity. This is a single-variety Sangiovese whose vines are planted at an altitude of 450 meters on a west-facing plot with volcanic soils. The harvest, done by hand, is destemmed and macerated for about three weeks on the skins in fiberglass vats, with daily pumping over or punching down as needed. Aging is twenty-four months in old oak barrels. Poggio Pastene is kept in bottle for two years before being marketed.

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, high tuff rock formations delimiting deep valleys carved by numerous rivers and torrents. Corva Gialla is located in Lubriano, opposite Civita di Bagnoregio. Alta Tuscia is a breeding ground for young winemaking talents dedicated to nature, who are reclaiming these historically neglected lands. 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 has also planted an olive grove (Frantoio and Leccino varieties) and converted the estate into a mixed crop and livestock system.
