i Vicini Pinot Nero Red 2018,

Jean-Yves Peron

Jean-Yves Péron, an iconic figure in Savoie's natural wine scene, is expanding his horizons with his I Vicini range, made from organic grapes carefully selected in Northern Italy and expertly vinified in Savoie. This cuvée Pinot Nero Rouge 2018, 100% Pinot Noir, captures the essence of the Burgundy grape variety while adding a surprising and characterful Alpine touch.

A Pinot Noir between Piedmont and Savoie

Made from organic grapes harvested by hand in the heart of Piedmont, Italy, this wine is then vinified with the same rigor as the estate's other cuvées. A semi-carbonic maceration of whole bunches extracts finesse and freshness, while aging on lees for twelve months in old barrels refines its texture. Unfined or filtered, with minimal intervention, this Pinot Noir expresses exceptional purity.

Tasting: finesse and drinkability

The color is light and bright, heralding an airy wine. On the nose, aromas of small red fruits—cherry, raspberry, redcurrant—intertwine with floral and slightly spicy touches. On the palate, the attack is delicate, with fine tannins and a refreshing acidity that draws the wine towards a savory and persistent finish. A perfect balance between elegance and indulgence.

Food Pairings and Service

Ideal around 16-18°C, it pairs well with white meats, roast poultry, or mushroom risotto. Its remarkable drinkability also makes it an excellent companion for aperitifs with friends. With an aging potential of 5 to 10 years, this natural wine will evolve gracefully while retaining its liveliness.

Senzaniente Cerasuolo Rosé 2023

Azienda Agricola Marina Palusci

Terroir, plots, and grape variety

Senzaniente Cerasuolo 2023 comes from the generous hills of Abruzzo, where Montepulciano expresses itself in its rosé version, known as Cerasuolo. On well-drained clay-limestone soils, this emblematic grape variety gives birth to a fruity and vibrant wine, rooted in Italian peasant tradition. The name "Cerasuolo" – literally "cherry" – already announces the color, a blend of indulgence and freshness.

Cultivation methods

At the Marina Palusci estate, the vines are cultivated using natural farming methods, with total commitment: no chemical inputs, no added sulfites. The wine is born from spontaneous fermentations, without technical intervention, in a pure artisanal approach. It is a free wine, born from living organisms, where nothing is masked, nothing is forced.

Tasting & food pairings

With its intense pink, almost light ruby, color, Senzaniente Cerasuolo 2023 is immediately appealing. The nose evokes crisp red fruits – cherry, strawberry, sour cherry – with a light and joyful touch of tangy candy. On the palate, it is an extremely digestible, juicy, light wine, remarkably drinkable. Its direct and fresh profile makes it wonderful as an aperitif, but also a natural companion for antipasti, Neapolitan pizza, or Japanese raw fish. An irresistible, accessible, and joyful natural rosé that will please everyone, even the uninitiated. Serve chilled for a pure moment of summer pleasure.

Canoupe Blanc 2022,

Danis dans la vigne
Canoupe is a white wine from Cahors made from organic and natural Colombard grapes, produced in Vin de France by Danis Bessières of Danis dans la vigne. It is a beautiful white from the Southwest of France with very advanced maturity. It is part of the "Esprit du lieu" range of single-plot cuvées vinified by Danis. Its name expresses the vigor and vitality of the estate's Colombards: "plant spears that reach for the sky." At the beginning of summer, the vine rises into vigorous foliage, like a canopy, hence the name Canoupe.

Vinification
Canoupe is not a white wine like the others. This single-plot cuvée was vinified with particular attention to the ripeness of the grapes, which is very advanced. Botrytis plays an important role, particularly in the color, which is sustained despite the direct pressing. A little controlled oxidation is also present.

Tasting
The style of Canoupe is intermediate, between freshness and maturity, with ripe aromas, candied citrus fruits, honeysuckle, spices: cardamom, cinnamon, Christmas spices. The color tends towards orange and the aromas are similar. Candied, jammy, with a touch of oxidation. A complex and powerful wine that is best reserved for the table and gastronomy rather than as an aperitif.

Learn more about Danis dans la vigne
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.

Perspectives White 2024

Domaine de la Sorbiere

A Burgundy that opens up new horizons

Perspectives is a rare and luminous cuvée, originating from the Bourgogne AOC, but boasting a unique perspective. The plot, located at the southernmost edge of the appellation, borders Beaujolais. From there, the view encompasses a 360-degree panorama of two great wine regions: Burgundy and Beaujolais. It is this expansive vision, this sense of space and balance, that this wine seeks to convey.

Purity of Chardonnay, ancestral aging

Made from Chardonnay grapes grown without synthetic inputs on schist soils, Perspective benefits from natural vinification using direct pressing, followed by six months of aging in amphorae, which gives it a limpid texture and striking mineral tension. No superfluous oenological intervention: here, only indigenous yeasts orchestrate the fermentation, allowing the terroir to express itself freely.
A vibrant white, full of freshness
On tasting, the wine is clear, bright, and a pale yellow with silvery highlights. The nose opens with delicate notes of honeysuckle, fresh lemon, and a touch of salinity reminiscent of sea spray. On the palate, a wave of freshness, taut and tangy, almost crystalline, accompanies a lovely fruity depth. The finish is clean, long, and mouthwatering.

Suitable for large gatherings as well as for aperitifs

This characterful white wine pairs equally well with shellfish, cooked fish, or mushrooms, as with white meats or soft cheeses. Served chilled, it reveals its full gastronomic potential and can be aged for 5 to 10 years without any problem.

A fresh and expressive tasting

On the palate, it offers a supple and silky texture, supported by a lively acidity that gives it an irresistible freshness. The delicate and persistent finish perfectly reflects the characteristics of Gamay and the mineral nuances of the granite soils.

Chateau Roulant Red 20/21

Benoit Camus
Château Roulant is a Beaujolais red wine, organic and natural (Ecocert certified), made from Gamay. Classified as a Vin de France, it is produced by Benoît Camus at his Pierre Dorées estate, in the south of the appellation. Its name evokes the itinerant life once led by the winemaker, a former seasonal agricultural worker.

Vinification
The Gamay vines of Beaujolais grow on clay-limestone soils. The very steep plots prohibit any mechanized work. The harvest, carried out by hand, undergoes a three-week semi-carbonic maceration. The wine is aged in concrete vats for fifteen months.

Tasting
The Beaujolais wines from Pierre Dorées are structured, long-lasting, and beautifully fruity. Here, after admiring a bright garnet color, we find strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, and cranberry, with a beautiful acidity in the mid-palate giving way to a rich and voluptuous finish. Freshness and acidity, leather, earth, and some animal notes. Wonderful richness in the mouth that we will enjoy accompanying with cold meats and cured meats, poultry such as pigeon or duck. Or even Red Meats .

Learn more about Benoît Camus
You might think he's itinerant, with his vintages called "Château roulant" or "Vagabond", but for Benoît Camus, it's a memory of his previous life, when he was a seasonal farmer in the Rhône Valley and as far as Roussillon. Since 2003, he has settled in Southern Beaujolais, in the Pierres Dorées terroir, to make organic (Ecocert) and natural wines.

Nature before, nature always
Before purchasing his seven-hectare estate from an old winemaker, the vines had not yet seen pesticides or chemical additives. Many in Beaujolais worked this way. He made his first vintage in 2006, "natural without knowing it," he says. A brief attempt at chemical spraying to treat grape worm definitively dissuaded him from adding anything to the vineyard or the cellar. He acquired Ecocert organic certification and continues to make natural wines.

The Pierre Dorées terroir
The southern Beaujolais, with its clay-limestone soils, produces wines that are more structured and powerful than those from the granite soils of the North. This is the profile presented by the reds of Benoît Camus, natural wines that are straight, dense and long-aging, with good acidity and well-integrated tannins, not forgetting abundant, rich and seductive fruit.

Les Bonnes Quilles Blanc 2023

Domaine de Bois-Moisset
Originating from Gaillac in Occitanie, organic and natural, Les Bonnes Quilles is a white wine from Domaine Bois-Moisset, obtained through light maceration and classified as a Vin de France. This marvel of balance and aroma will seduce you with its personality and adaptability to all occasions.

The vines grow on the clay-limestone molasse soils of the first slopes of Gaillac and the grapes are harvested by hand. The harvest is directly pressed with a short five-day maceration for the loin-de-l'œil, a Gaillac variety named for the length of its petiole.

Tasting
Les Bonnes Quilles deserves its name: great freshness, original aromas of pear and grapefruit with notes of rose. An endearing white wine where the macerated loin-de-l'œil plays the role of a spice. This wine for friends and good food, with its sunny and convivial profile, will accept solid pairings, nothing scares it: roasted white meats, beautiful poultry, grilled fish or fish in sauce, or country cuisine.

Learn more about the Bois-Moisset estate
In the heart of the oldest vineyard in France — that of Gaillac, in the Tarn — Sylvie Ledran, Philippe Maffre and their son Hippolyte watch over their Bois-Moisset estate, a wine-growing property associated with a mixed crop-livestock activity, all in organic farming. Gaillac is famous for its many very old indigenous grape varieties, and its wine-growing heritage is uniquely rich.

Cows and vines
The Bois-Moisset estate is also home to a herd of old local breed cows and guest rooms are available during the summer. It is in this small rural paradise that natural wines typical of their origin and their terroir are born, on fifteen hectares of boulbènes, gravelly and sandy-loam soils carried by the Tarn for thousands of years.

Native grape varieties
The grape varieties are dominated by Syrah and Duras, but the wines of the Bois-Moisset estate reflect the ampelographic richness of the Gaillac region (braucol, prunelart, loin-de-l’œil, mauzac, braucol, ondenc, etc.). The red wines are crisply fruity, concentrated but with smooth and delicate tannins, the whites have character and the pet’ nat’ are particularly tasty.

Gabbrodo White 2022

De Vini

Pink Pong Rosé 2022,

Jean-Marc Dreyer
Pink Pong by Jean-Marc Dreyer is an Alsatian rosé wine with organic maceration (AB label), biodynamic, and natural, without added sulfites, made from a blend of three grape varieties in equal parts: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Auxerrois. Until now, it only contained Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, but this year, Pinot Noir was predominant, and Pinot Gris was added to restore the balance and drinkability of this rosé.

Vinification
The vinification of Pink Pong is modeled on this winemaker's Origin cuvées. In this blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Auxerrois grown biodynamically, the former gives it a bright red color. The grapes are macerated for around ten days in whole bunches. The wine is aged in foudres and demi-muids for eleven months. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

Tasting
Sweet notes of cherry, a slight astringency of cranberry, rhubarb, wild strawberry, a herbaceous note, and a hint of white pepper.

A wine for a special occasion, a thirst-quenching wine too, Pink Pong has it all: dryness, acidity, freshness, structure... As for food and wine pairings, you are spoiled for choice, this wine with its strong character goes well with anything that is eaten: red meats, grilled meats, cured beef (cecina) and pata negra ham, Gascon black pork ham too, charcuterie... Serve it very cold.

Learn more about Jean-Marc Dreyer
Jean-Marc Dreyer, 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 never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserted his style around skin maceration, accentuated, chiseled, bringing out the soul of Alsatian grape varieties. Jean-Marc also works with 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 taste 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 marc to the press." Gentle oxidation is also a particular characteristic 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.

High-altitude biodynamics

Jean-Yves Péron's work adheres to the principles of minimal intervention.

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.

Vin paillé Red 2012

Marie and Vincent Tricot

Marie and Vincent Tricot's Vin de paille is undoubtedly a curiosity: it's a sweet wine made from 100% Auvergne Gamay, entirely organic and natural, made like a Vin de paille from the Jura. The harvest is dried on straw in an attic before pressing. We're not used to Gamay vinified this way, or even red wine vinified this way.

It's an experiment, but the result more than justifies the boldness. Drying on straw concentrates the sugar in the grape berries and accentuates the flavors. Only a drop remains in each berry, but what a drop! Sweet, caressing, syrupy, complex, this Vin de paille is a delight. Its color is not a pure red but an amber, and the nose is a veritable basket of slightly jammy fruits: plum, prune, raisins, strawberry. It is possible that a refermentation takes place in the bottle, which can give a sparkling attack to this wine, but it disappears quickly. On the palate, a delicious sweetness, lots of strawberry and pleasantness. Very easy to drink.

To find out more

Among the generation of Auvergne winemakers who, at the dawn of the 21st century, are resurrecting the vineyards of this beautiful volcanic province of the Massif Central in organic and natural ways, Marie and Vincent Tricot are pioneers, and their name is well known to those who have long loved natural wine. After a varied winegrowing journey that took them from Beaujolais to Chile and from Chile to Costières-de-Nîmes, they landed in Auvergne, at the foot of the Puy de Dôme, in the commune of Orcet where they took over Claude Prugnard's vineyard, a land that had not seen the slightest chemical input for around thirty years. The estate is located on a hillside, on the left bank of the Allier, in a volcanic clay-limestone area neighboring the vineyards of Châteaugay, Chanturgue and Corent. They acquired it in 2003 and, since then, have been making wines from Auvergne Gamay, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a little Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat. These rare and sought-after wines are mainly sold directly. They have a straight and flamboyant profile, and express themselves with as much character as simplicity.

Gabbrodo White 2021,

De Vini

The Gabbrodo 2021 from De Vini (Vinilibre) is an ode to the terroir of the Pays Nantais. This natural wine without any additives delicately expresses the Melon de Bourgogne, the region's emblematic grape variety. Made from gabbro soils, a rare volcanic rock in the Loire region, it benefits from a nine-month aging in sandstone jars, giving this exceptional white remarkable purity and tension.

Its pale color with golden highlights announces a luminous and crystalline wine. The nose seduces with its freshness and aromatic complexity: notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white fruits (pear, peach), and a hint of iodine that recalls its maritime origins. On the palate, the attack is frank and lively, driven by beautiful acidity and sharp minerality. The aging in jars adds a silky texture while preserving the wine's tension and freshness. The finish is long and saline, with a delicately smoky persistence that invites further sipping.

The Gabbrodo 2021 is an ideal companion to seafood. It will enhance scallops with truffles, grilled lobster, sea bass in a salt crust, or pikeperch with beurre blanc.

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.

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.
