YARD Vintages

YARD Rouge, Red 2023

Danis dans la vigne

With "YARD Rouge", Danis dans la vigne offers an uninhibited and lively version of Malbec, the emblematic grape variety of Cahors. Here, there's no excessive concentration or robust extraction: this 100% organic Malbec asserts its freedom and accessibility, in a natural version full of charm and personality.

A natural winemaking process, true to the fruit

From vines planted on clay-limestone soils in the Lot region, the grapes are cultivated without chemicals, respecting natural balances. The winemaking is artisanal: gentle maceration for two weeks, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without oenological additives, followed by nine months of aging in stainless steel tanks. This choice preserves all the fruit's vibrancy, without masking the identity of the grape variety or the terroir.

A supple and tasty red

On tasting, YARD Rouge seduces with its open nose of ripe dark fruit aromas (plum, blackberry), accompanied by touches of dried fruit. On the palate, the texture is supple, the tannins are fine and well-integrated, with a lovely grain and a finish that retains freshness. The style is clean, pure, and invites indulgence without heaviness.

The natural wine for all occasions

Perfect at 14–16 °C, after a light decanting, YARD Rouge is perfect for an aperitif or at the table. It will pair wonderfully with slow-cooked dishes, grilled meats, or a nice charcuterie board. To be drunk within two years to fully enjoy its vibrant fruit.

YARD Orange, White 2022

Danis dans la vigne

With YARD Orange, Danis dans la vigne ventures into the realm of skin-contact white wines, known as "orange" wines, which challenge traditional perceptions. This natural 100% Colombard cuvée, made from organically grown grapes on the clay-limestone soils of southern Lot, embodies a free and contemporary vision of white wine, full of color, energy, and sincerity.

An artisanal and precise orange wine

Several days of skin maceration allow this Colombard to extract aromas, body, and a subtle golden hue from its skins. No enological additives are used: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtration, and seven months of aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's crispness. The result is a pure, vibrant, uncompromising natural wine.

A bright and lively palate

The nose evokes ripe apricot, citrus zest, and a very refreshing herbaceous touch. On the palate, the attack is frank and taut, with a beautiful structure provided by very fine tannins from the maceration. The overall impression is lively, easy-drinking, and leaves a tonic sensation on the finish.

For the curious and the unconventional

YARD Orange is best enjoyed between 10 and 12 °C, without decanting. It will naturally find its place as an aperitif, with vegetarian dishes, white meats, or Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. It is an enlightened thirst-quenching wine, to be drunk young to fully appreciate its fruity expression and freshness.

YARD x Bois Moisset Cuvée (exclusive cuvée) Red 2024

Domaine Bois Moisset

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born in the vibrant Gaillac region, the YARD x Bois Moisset Rouge 2024 is an ode to the diversity of the ancestral grape varieties of Southwest France. In this free-spirited cuvée, classified as a Vin de France, Domaine Bois Moisset skillfully blends three emblematic varieties: Braucol, with its rustic and wild character; Duras, vibrant and spicy; and a touch of Gamay, which rounds out the whole with its fruity freshness. This bold combination, conceived as a nod to local roots as much as to contemporary tastes, expresses a sun-drenched clay-limestone terroir, which gives the wine its power and purity.

Cultivation methods

At Domaine Bois Moisset, the vine is first and foremost a living ally, respected in its rhythm and needs. Certified organic, the vineyard management excludes all artifice: here, the soils breathe, nourished by natural compost, carefully worked, and the vines are observed, listened to, and supported rather than constrained. The harvest is done by hand, guaranteeing meticulous sorting and intact bunches. In the cellar, the winemaking follows the same philosophy: minimal intervention, indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction to preserve the fruit and reveal the texture, without masking the soul of the grape. The result is a sincere, deeply rooted wine that speaks of humanity as much as of nature.

Tasting & pairings

The YARD x Bois Moisset Rouge Cuvée reveals itself in an intense, luminous, and deep ruby robe. The nose opens with a frank and charming bouquet of ripe red fruits—cherry, strawberry, redcurrant—enhanced by peppery notes and a slightly smoky touch, a signature of the Duras and Braucol grape varieties. On the palate, the attack is lively and juicy, then the structure takes hold: present but integrated tannins give the wine its character and poise. The long finish leaves a spicy and luscious impression, full of vitality.

It's the perfect companion for convivial moments: a barbecue with friends, grilled lamb chops, a ribeye steak cooked over a wood fire, or even oriental-inspired cuisine with mild spices. Structured and generous, this vintage invites sharing and warmth, while allowing the fruit and terroir to fully express themselves.

The YARD Rouge 2024 Cuvée by Bois Moisset is not just a wine: it is an outstretched hand, an invitation to rediscover Gaillac in a free and vibrant light.

Cuvée YARD x Einhart Blanc Orange 2023

Domaine Einhart

A brilliant, free, and gourmet Alsace orange wine

With this Cuvée YARD x Einhart 2023, Domaine Einhart breaks new ground and offers a white maceration wine rich in color and expression. Created in collaboration with YARD, this limited edition cuvée combines the energy of the young gastronomic scene with the expertise of a winemaker committed to organic farming in the heart of Alsace.

The blend of Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, two traditionally aromatic grape varieties, was macerated for a few days to extract body, color, and character. The wine was then aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks, on lees, to maintain a fresh and brilliant profile. The limestone terroir enhances this mineral tension, perfectly balancing the natural richness of the grape varieties.

An accessible, floral, and subtly spicy orange wine

Its brilliant coppery color already hints at its deliciousness. The nose is charming and very expressive: fresh rose, citrus zest, a hint of blond caramel, and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine reveals a silky texture, with a lovely acidity and a fine tannic structure typical of orange wines, but here very measured. The whole is fluid, lively, almost joyful.

This cuvée should be drunk at 10-12°C, without decanting, simply but with depth. It brilliantly accompanies a summer barbecue, fragrant Asian cuisine, or even washed-rind cheeses. Drink it now or within two years to enjoy its vibrant freshness.

YARD x Bois Moisset Cuvée (exclusive cuvée) Sparkling Rosé 2024

Domaine Bois Moisset

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born from the dialogue between the ancestral terroir of Gaillac and a contemporary vision of winemaking, the YARD x Bois Moisset Sparkling Wine 2024 embodies a luminous encounter between tradition and freshness. The Bois Moisset estate, located in the heart of the Tarn vineyards, passionately cultivates the indigenous grape varieties Braucol and Duras. These varieties, typical of Southwest France, lend their unique character to this rosé: Braucol for its vivacity and aromas of red fruit, and Duras for its finesse and floral notes. The clay-limestone soil, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the breezes of the Tarn River, imparts a beautiful tension and a pure expression of fruit to the grapes.

Cultivation methods

Long committed to sustainable viticulture, Domaine Bois Moisset is certified organic. The vines are cultivated without synthetic inputs, in a living ecosystem where observation takes precedence over intervention. The soils are worked gently, fostering flourishing biodiversity and true harmony between the vine and its environment. This artisanal philosophy naturally extends to the cellar, where winemaking is as gentle as possible. The secondary fermentation, likely natural, gives this cuvée its sparkling, fine bubbles, without ever compromising the purity of the fruit.

Tasting & pairings

Slightly cloudy, by design, this 2024 sparkling rosé displays a delicate, salmon-pink hue. On the nose, an intoxicating bouquet of orange blossom and strawberry unfolds, reminiscent of the sweetness of a spring garden. On the palate, the bubbles are lively yet delicate, supporting a light and refreshing, almost carefree, texture. The overall impression is dry, remarkably drinkable, with a fruity touch that evokes homemade strawberry granita.

Ideal for pairing with lightly sweetened desserts, such as raspberry panna cotta or a delicate peach tart, this wine also proves remarkably well-suited to raw fish: sashimi, ceviche, or tartare harmonize beautifully with its floral freshness and fine acidity. A free-spirited, joyful, and genuine sparkling wine, perfect for spontaneous moments, summer aperitifs, and large gatherings where toasts are raised informally but with enthusiasm.

Cuvée YARD Champs Elysées Rouge 2022

Les Souriants

Les Souriants present a single-plot interpretation of Pinot Noir with their Cuvée YARD Champs Élysées 2022, sourced from a unique granite terroir in Beaujolais. This natural wine, certified organic, explores the finesse and depth of this grape variety, often underestimated in the region, yet finding superb resonance in these poor, mineral soils.

The Champs Élysées plot benefits from an ideal exposure and a light granite soil that forces the vines to root deeply, concentrating the aromas in small berries brimming with energy. The winemaking process remains true to the estate's philosophy: one month of maceration, gentle extraction, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and one year of aging in old barrels to respect the identity of the place.

In the glass, the wine offers a pure and charming nose: black cherry, candied red fruits, faded rose, with a subtle vegetal touch reminiscent of ripe stems. On the palate, the texture is fine, linear, fresh, almost crystalline. The Pinot Noir expresses itself in an elegant, slender version, with a light tannic structure and a floral and mineral finish.

YARD Champs Élysées is a gastronomic red, ideal with roasted meats, farm-raised chicken with chanterelles, or elaborate vegetarian dishes. It can be enjoyed now without decanting, or can evolve harmoniously over 5 years. Serve it lightly chilled, between 16 and 18°C, to reveal its full complexity.

A sincere, distinguished, and poetic single-plot cuvée.

Cuvée YARD Rouge 2022

Les Souriants

With YARD 2022, Les Souriants estate offers an original and captivating interpretation of Pinot Noir in Beaujolais, a region more accustomed to Gamay expressions. This natural red wine, certified organic, is a pure artisanal product, crafted with care and patience to offer a luminous and sincere expression of the grape variety, without embellishment or artifice.

Coming from vines grown on granitic soils, Pinot Noir finds a mineral tension and vibrant freshness here, far from clichés of opulence. The winemaking remains gentle and precise: a one-month maceration to delicately extract color, aromas, and structure, followed by one year of aging in old barrels, without new wood, to preserve the finesse of the fruit.

On the nose, it's a floral and fruity explosion: crunchy cherry, candied red fruits, fresh rose. A fine and expressive aromatic profile that extends to the palate with a beautiful texture, supple but structured. The wine combines a delicate, almost silky touch with fresh and digestible energy. The finish is straight, clean, slightly saline, leaving a persistent floral sensation in the mouth.

YARD is an elegant red, perfect for aperitifs, roasted meats, pigeon with reduced jus, or even a beautiful vegetarian dish with mushrooms. It can be enjoyed now, without decanting, or aged serenely for 5 years.
