La Grande Journée White 2022

Jean-Yves Péron

La Grande Journée, by Jean-Yves Péron, is an organic, biodynamic, and natural maceration white wine made in Savoie. Classified as a Vin de France, it is made from 100% Altesse grapes. Unfiltered, unfined, and no sulfites added.

Vinification

The Altesse grapes, grown on mica schist terraces near Albertville, are harvested at the most ripeness possible. They then undergo two weeks of carbonic maceration and two months of punching down in vats. After devatting, the wine is aged for at least a year in 300-liter barrels.

Tasting

La Grande Journée is a magnificent polyphonic maceration white, a distinguished orange structured in layers. It evokes white fruits, flowers, with a spicy and mineral dimension. Beautiful controlled oxidation that will enhance Alpine cheeses, or white meats or roasted poultry, stuffed or not.

Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron

Jean-Yves Péron talentedly embodies the organic, biodynamic and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and many 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.

i Vicini Cortese White 2022

Jean-Yves Péron

I Vicini Cortese is a dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron, organic, biodynamic, and natural, made from Cortese grapes harvested in Piedmont. It is a merchant cuvée from the I Vicini series, harvested organically in Northern Italy and vinified in Savoie.

Vinification

The grapes from which I Vicini Cortese is made come from Asti and grow in a cool microclimate that allows for relatively late ripening. Cortese is an ancient grape variety often associated with Trebbiano or Garganega. It produces a fresh and tangy wine with a straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. Here, it undergoes two weeks of carbonic maceration and spends a year in 34-hectoliter tuns. No fining, no filtration, and no addition of sulfites.

Tasting

I Vicini Cortese is a light and fresh, digestible wine, with an alcohol content between 10 and 11 degrees, making it easy to drink. It has a minerality due to the terroir and citrus notes, particularly lemon zest. A perfect companion for tapas and the most refined starters, shellfish, and seafood.

Sylvaner Siggi White 2017,

Jean-Marc Dreyer

Siggi (the s is pronounced z) is an organic, biodynamic, and natural Alsatian dry white wine (AB label) from Jean-Marc Dreyer, vinified from Sylvaner grapes without added sulfites. A beautiful aging process (seven years, the age of reason) allows Siggi to be appreciated at its peak.

Vinification

The Sylvaner grapes from Jean-Marc Dreyer's estate, grown organically, are hand-harvested and directly pressed. The wine undergoes two years of maturation in foudres and finishes this maturation in bottles. No topping up, no addition of sulfites or other additives, no filtration.

Tasting

Clean orange color, nose of citrus and dried fruits and a little sparkle at the opening. Woody palate, controlled oxidation, walnuts, hazelnut, acidity comes next with notes of peach and nectarine associated with leather and yeasty touches, not to mention saline and iodized notes. The finish returns to hazelnut. This incredible complexity gives Siggi a key to all pairings. It will be paired with cheeses, spicy cuisine, Indian curries and Réunion curries. It is also a good partner for well-roasted poultry and pata negra ham. We recommend a good decanting.

Learn more about Jean-Marc Dreyer

Jean-Marc Dreyer, a biodynamic and natural Alsace winemaker (AB organic certification label), succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, created in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics. In 2009, upon returning from a pilgrimage to Compostela, he decided to never again add sulfur to any wine. Having made this decision, he asserted his style around skin maceration, accentuated and chiseled, bringing out the soul of Alsatian grape varieties. Jean-Marc also works in direct pressing and often with single varietals. He also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.

Maceration and direct press

Jean-Marc Dreyer's wines are characterized by whole-bunch maceration (but you should also try his direct-press whites). "Maceration in Alsace," he says, "is an ancestral tradition! In the past, we worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the pomace to the press." Gentle oxidation is also a particular feature of his wines, generally vinified without topping up. Jean-Marc is best known for his "Origin" series, a finely macerated expression of Alsace grape varieties, but we invite you to discover his other wines.

i Vicini Moscato White 2021

Jean Yves Peron

I Vicini Moscato is an organic, biodynamic, and natural macerated (orange) dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron. Vinified in Savoie from Muscat d'Asti. It is part of the I Vicini series of cuvées, vinified in Savoie from organic grapes from Northern Italy. The muscats grow on very fine limestone soils, calcareous-magnesian, on a particularly cool site.

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 l barrels. No filtration, fining or addition of sulfites.

Tasting

Straightness, tension and freshness: this very fine 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.

Vino Bianco Ambar White 2020

Corva Gialla

Àmbar ("amber"), aptly named, is a dry macerated white wine that stands out with its beautiful amber color with pink highlights typical of an orange wine. It is a ripe, straightforward wine, surprisingly easy to drink. The nose is delicately floral, as is the palate. Àmbar is very fresh and has lovely acidity. It offers tobacco, spices, orange peel, almond, and toasted notes, without losing its beautiful fruitiness. Plenty of minerality, earth, and a touch of creaminess after aeration. This wine is made from the Grechetto grape variety, macerated and fermented on the skins in thousand-liter terracotta jars. After pressing, the wines are aged, always separately, for eight to ten months in old oak barrels before being blended in fiberglass vats.

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.

With Tomoe Gozen Blanc 2023, La Tribu Alonso creates an inspired and profoundly original vintage, conceived as an homage to the first female samurai. Like this historical figure, the wine embodies finesse, power, and singularity. Made from a collection of 28 Chardonnays, this white wine reveals a rare complexity, shaped by a bold vision and an artisanal approach to natural wine.

The grapes are grown without any synthetic products, respecting the living balance of the vineyard. In the cellar, vinification relies solely on indigenous yeasts, without inputs or artificial additions, to allow the identity of the vintage and the terroir to fully express itself. The 16-month aging in Sauternes barrels adds an extra dimension to the wine, enriching its aromatic palette and texture.

In the glass, the golden, slightly hazy color indicates a living and unfiltered wine. The nose opens with great complexity, blending aromas of white flowers, honey, and undergrowth, enhanced by an elegant smoky touch. The influence of the barrels is subtly discernible, bringing depth and relief without masking the freshness of the fruit.

On the palate, the texture is full, silky, and structured. The wine unfolds an aromatic richness where floral and honeyed notes intertwine with woody and slightly toasted nuances. A beautiful tension balances the whole, offering a persistent finish that is both warm and refined.

Tomoe Gozen Blanc 2023 pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, whose complexity it highlights, but also with spicy dishes, thanks to its roundness and aromatic depth.

With this vintage, La Tribu Alonso confirms its free and inspired approach, giving birth to a unique natural wine, rich in history and emotion.

Organic White Pineau 2015

Alain Chadutaud

Terroir, plots, and grape varieties

It is in the heart of the limestone soils of Cognac, in this region where the sky and the vines have harmonized for centuries, that Alain Chadutaud passionately cultivates his Ugni Blanc. On typical clay-limestone soil, the roots draw the freshness and minerality necessary for the expression of a perfectly balanced white Pineau. The 2015 vintage, bathed in sunshine and tempered by Atlantic breezes, allowed for perfect grape maturation, giving birth to a generous and precise cuvée.

Cultivation methods

True to a philosophy that respects living things, Alain Chadutaud works biodynamically, with constant attention to soil vitality and vine balance. No synthetic inputs, but gentle practices, meticulous soil work, and natural preparations to support the plant throughout its cycle. The harvest, carried out at full maturity, precedes the subtle blending of grape juice and homemade Cognac eau-de-vie, according to the traditional savoir-faire of Pineau des Charentes. Aging takes place slowly in barrels, in order to develop this characteristic aromatic complexity.

Tasting & pairings

From the very first nose, the Organic Pineau 2015 opens with a charming bouquet of candied fruits, dried apricot, and acacia honey, underscored by a hint of sweet almond. On the palate, the magic happens: the attack is lively, almost lemony, followed by a honeyed roundness that caresses the palate, supported by a tangy framework that prevents any heaviness. The balance is perfect, the persistence remarkable, leaving a sensation of freshness and deliciousness on the finish.

This is a Pineau of character, both sunny and invigorating, ideal as an aperitif, served chilled with iodine-flavored appetizers or cheese puff pastries. It also nobly accompanies pan-seared foie gras, highlighting its richness without overpowering it. For dessert, it pairs wonderfully with an almond tart, a dark chocolate lava cake, or even a well-aged Roquefort for an intense sweet and savory experience.

Alain Chadutaud's Organic Pineau 2015 is much more than an aperitif: it is an invitation to discover a living terroir, an artisanal vision, and a mastery of time that expresses itself in every glass.

Retour de Milan, White 2023

Fond Cyprès

With Retour de Milan, Fond Cyprès unveils a brilliant and unprecedented interpretation of Muscat Petit Grain, vinified as a macerated white. This organic orange wine from Languedoc, as elegant as it is expressive, breaks new ground to offer a unique, fresh, and gourmet sensory experience.

A subtle maceration

Here, whole Muscat grapes are macerated for a few days to provide texture and complexity without losing the delicacy of the varietal. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, without oenological additives, followed by 5 months of aging in concrete egg, which promotes the wine's natural movement and gentle contact with the lees. The result: a lively, textured juice, yet with exemplary freshness.

A luminous and aromatic orange wine

The nose is vibrant, with notes of bergamot, citrus zest, orange blossom, and fresh lychee. On the palate, the wine balances tension and sweetness, with very fine tannins and a delicately bitter finish that prolongs the pleasure. It is a digestible, chiseled orange wine, both floral and citrusy.

Bold pairings, immediate pleasure

Serve between 10 and 12 °C, without decanting. This wine pairs ideally with Asian cuisines (mild spices, Thai curry, sashimi), aged cheeses (blue cheese, long-aged tommes) or even a lightly sweetened fruit dessert. It can age in the cellar for 5 to 10 years.

Le Sage Vagnin, White 2023

Philippe Chatillon

Le Sage Vagnin 2023 is a precious, exclusive, and wise vintage. Only 800 bottles are produced each year, all from a small walled vineyard (clos) planted with 65-year-old Savagnin vines, deeply rooted in the grey Jurassic marl. This rarity is the result of the precise and inspired work of Philippe Chatillon, a winemaker sensitive to living things, whose estate is certified organic and located in Arbois, the birthplace of the grape variety.

Vinified with direct pressing and then aged for two years in old barrels, this AOC Arbois white wine stands out for its aromatic purity and balanced roundness. No new wood, no additives: just the grapes, time, and the winemaker's care. The result is a nuanced Savagnin, with a mineral roundness, between tension and sweetness.

The nose is both expressive and delicate: fresh citrus, white peach, acacia blossom, with a subtle mineral touch. On the palate, the texture is round yet taut, with a beautiful length, an elegant saline sensation, and a fresh, floral finish. The wine avoids any heaviness, playing on the perfect balance between the natural richness of the grape variety and the finesse of the terroir.

Le Sage Vagnin will gracefully accompany seafood, aged cheeses like Comté or Bleu de Gex, but also more spicy, oriental, or vegetarian cuisine. Serve between 10 and 12°C, with light decanting, and enjoy now or keep for up to 5 years.

A rare wine, for lovers of finesse and Jura's unique character.

Puits Saint Pierre, White 2023

Philippe Chatillon

The Puits Saint Pierre 2023 cuvée by Philippe Chatillon is a magnificent tribute to Savagnin, the iconic grape variety of the Jura, meticulously crafted with remarkable precision. Sourced from the estate's finest parcel, planted on typical Côtes du Jura marl soils, this natural white wine, certified organic, embodies Jura tradition while asserting a pure, clean, and vibrant style.

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness then pressed directly, without maceration, to preserve freshness and varietal expression. The wine is then aged for two years in old barrels, without oenological intervention or new wood, allowing for subtle micro-oxygenation that refines the structure and develops aromatic complexity.

On the nose, it's a festival of sensations: dried apricot, delicate honey, a hint of brioche, alpine herbs, and a chalky minerality that hints at the tension on the palate. The palate is direct, dry, taut, with superb acidity that carries the flavors to a long, saline finish. The balance between the subtle richness of the aging and the natural straightforwardness of the grape makes it an excellent gastronomic wine.

Puits Saint Pierre pairs ideally with iodized seafood, aged Comté cheese, or spicy dishes with oriental flavors. Decanting is recommended for it to fully open up. It can be enjoyed now for its purity or aged 5 to 10 years to gain complexity. Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C.

Philippe Chatillon delivers a deep and sincere wine, both rooted in its terroir and of rare elegance.

Alburostre White 2023

De Vini

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 grown in Gorges (Loire-Atlantique), on the winemaker's estate, in gabbro soils. Classified as Vin de France. Folle Blanche, also known as Gros Plant, is a grape variety typical of the Nantes region, where it has been known since the 16th century and thrives in gabbro soils. Highly suitable for distillation, it is also a grape variety used in Armagnac and Cognac. It typically produces wines with low alcohol content and a pale color: Alburostre embodies all of these qualities.

Winemaking

The organic Folle Blanche grapes harvested for Alburostre are pressed directly, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then the wine is aged for nine months on its lees in stoneware jars. No fining, sulfiting, or filtration.

Tasting

Alburostre means "greenhorn" in Old French. Despite its pale color—typical of Folle Blanche—it's anything but an inexperienced novice. It's a very fine, easy-drinking white wine (10% alcohol), supple, pleasant, precise, and pure. A lovely yeasty, fermentary note rises above its simple description, enveloping the palate and further accentuating the wine's length. A truly indulgent wine: reserve it for the finest smoked salmon, seafood, and even caviar. The winemaker recommends salmon tartare with coriander, pollack fillet with beurre blanc sauce, or steamed goose barnacles.

Learn more about Christophe Bosque and De Vini

De Vini, along with the Vinilibre wine trading business, is the multifaceted venture of Christophe Bosque, originally from Saint-Nazaire. Wine has always been his passion. We are particularly interested in his local creations, made from grapes grown on his two-hectare vineyard and fermented in a traditional Nantes-style underground vat—a true reinvention of Muscadet (outside the appellation) in a natural style.

Gabbro melt

After years working as a wine merchant, importer, and then winemaker, this former cameraman, who holds a vocational diploma in oenology and viticulture, acquired a few plots (two hectares) of Melon de Bourgogne vines in 2017 in Gorges, Loire-Atlantique, near Clisson. The soils there consist of gabbro on a granite subsoil, a pedological configuration specific to the Nantes region and particularly to Clisson. Christophe is full of praise for this type of soil.

Muscadet, but better

Christophe's wines may be made from grapes sourced from the finest French terroirs, particularly in Languedoc, but the winemaker retains a special affection for his own vines, which he tends with passion and a deep respect for the terroir. His labels and appellations reveal a touch of humor and a flair for the pun, but inside the bottle, it's serious business: wines off the beaten path, just the way he likes them.

Burgundy Bigotes Qvevris White 2022,

Frédéric Cossard

With the Burgundy Bigotes Qvevris White 2022, Frédéric Cossard explores a unique approach to Chardonnay, aging it in qvevris (Georgian amphorae). This ancestral vinification method allows the terroir to be expressed in a unique way, producing a white wine that is both pure and structured.

An exceptional Chardonnay

Grown on clay-limestone soils, this wine benefits from a vinification process without additives and aging in qvevris, which brings a beautiful aromatic complexity and a silky texture. Its mineral and taut profile makes it an atypical and fascinating cuvée.

An expressive nose and a vibrant palate

The nose reveals notes of ripe white fruits, citrus fruits and dried flowers, with a mineral and slightly smoky touch. On the palate, the body is ample and structured, carried by a vibrant acidity and a long and saline finish.

What to enjoy with this wine?

Ideally served at 10-12°C, this white Burgundy will go perfectly with oysters, fish ceviche or mature goat cheeses. Its aging potential of 5 to 10 years will allow it to evolve towards even more complex and deep aromas.

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.
