Sylvaner Siggi White 2017,
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.
Génépi Spirits
Liqueurs Granier
Génépi is "the" Savoyard liqueur; it doesn't get more regional than this. It's entirely organic and artisanal, made by the Granier brothers in the Annecy region and sourced locally.
The Plant
The name "génépi" refers to a family of small alpine wormwoods of the genus Artemisia that are harvested between 2,500 and 3,500 meters above sea level. These highly aromatic and medicinal plants (fighting colds, viral illnesses and digestive disorders) are the main ingredient of the most emblematic liqueur of Haute-Savoie.
Production
Génépi is harvested in the Alps and dried before infusion in 96% organic wheat alcohol, before blending with an organic sugar syrup made by a landowner harvesting in the Palatine Forest. The water comes from the Boubioz spring, near Lake Annecy. No additives are added during production. The liqueur, aged in rum barrels, includes coriander seeds and lemon zest. Unlimited aging potential.
Tasting
Floral, aromatic and of great purity, this liqueur flies the flag of Alpine génépi high. The balsamic note of génépi initially manifests itself with great amplitude and persists in the mouth, supported by light spices (coriander and lemon). A success, to be associated with raw fish or smoked fish of all kinds and of course smoked salmon. The best pairing will be with a raclette.
Learn more about Granier liqueurs
The Granier liqueur factory — two brothers, Vincent and Stéphane Granier — produces artisanal liqueurs from the Haute-Savoie region. Flavor, sweetness, and balance are their great qualities, resulting from a meticulous and measured infusion technique to minimize extraction.
Wild or organically grown
Plants grown organically, or picked in the mountains surrounding Annecy, are obtained through short supply chains and for this reason reflect the flora of the steep meadows or gardens of Haute-Savoie. Everything is organic and without additives, from the initial infusion to bottling.
Intact flavors
During the tasting, we were amazed by the Granier liqueurs, one after the other. Never have such fresh plant flavors been restored to us by liqueurs. We have the sensation of tasting the plant itself, infused in all its singularity, supported by just the right amount of sugar (that is to say, little) organically produced in the Palatine Forest and just the right amount of alcohol. An organic beer alcohol that allows the plant to convey its message without interference. Not only is it delicious, but it's also an excellent digestif. Verbena, genepi, gentian, mint, or meadowsweet—we guarantee you'll have a great time.
Pastis 2022 Spirits
Garagai
Garagaï is an organic and artisanal pastis from the Provençal region, produced by Maixent Dubois. All the plants that compose it were either picked in the Sainte-Victoire mountain region, in the Aix region in the spring of 2022, or grown organically at the distillery. It's a distinctive and delicious pastis that will be a welcome change from industrial versions.
Production
The plants, picked at the time of flowering, are macerated while still fresh. The maceration time depends on each plant, depending on how the macerates are tasted. The macerates are then filtered and the remaining plants distilled. The blend is carried out over about twenty macerations, after which the mixture rests to marry the aromas and is filtered before bottling. The sweetening is very light, at a rate of 6 g of Butinarello lavender honey per liter of pastis. Here is the composition: star anise, licorice, wild thyme, lemon thyme, rosemary, savory, fennel, tarragon, lemon balm, lemon basil, Marseille basil, absinthe, mugwort, bay leaf, peppermint, spearmint, dill, coriander, green anise, oregano, hyssop, agastache.
Tasting
You can immediately taste the difference, this Garagaï pastis has nothing to do with the mass-market versions: no overly sweet notes; the blend is subtle, the plants form a harmonious bouquet. The aging potential is unlimited, but it is recommended to drink an opened bottle within two months to preserve all its aromatic qualities. What do you serve this pastis with? Peanuts. But also small antipasti from Olio di Serra, Mediterranean starters, tapas, Spanish canned fish, cured meats, the bottarga…
Learn more about the Garagaï distillery
Garagaï is the name of a chasm (or rather two chasms, the large and small Garagaï) located at the top of the Sainte-Victoire mountain. It follows that the products of the Garagaï distillery display a strong Provençal identity. The distillery was born in 2019, created by Maixent Dubois, a local boy who went from working in winemaking to working with spirits.
A desire for pastis
Maixent has long dreamed of making pastis. He will interpret the recipe with love and finesse, growing his organic plants on site or having them picked in the Aix region, around the Sainte-Victoire mountain. The result is a first distinctive and emblematic product, Garagaï pastis, released in 2020. It is made using entirely artisanal methods and organic products, and distilled in a Charentais-style still. Other pastis will follow, as well as syrups made from Mediterranean plants.
The aperitif of the sun
Obtained using various techniques (hot infusion, cold maceration, bain-marie distillation), Garagaï pastis are subtle, complex, and aromatic thanks to the meticulous work of blending the distillates. This will be a change from industrial pastis; it's time to rediscover this aperitif liqueur that so beautifully evokes summer and sunshine.
Guignes et Guins Liqueur 2019,
Distillerie Cazottes
This guignes et guins liqueur is an organic and natural spirit (Eurofeuille label) produced in the Tarn region. It is a great success for the Cazottes distillery, which has many of them. It is made from two types of cherries: organic guignes (old variety black cherries) and guins (wild cherries or wild cherries) grown in Laurent Cazottes' garden, without pesticides or any additives.
Production
Once the fruit is harvested, it is pitted by hand and macerated naturally for 14 months in the estate's organic, slightly sweetened brandy. Everything is then pressed and bottled. The liqueur is 18% proof.
Tasting
Some will remember the guignolet, a cherry liqueur evoked by this liqueur of guignes and guins from the Cazottes distillery. It is an intensely fruity, dense, rich and sensual liqueur, a little tannic, with notes of red rose, cedar wood and candied cherry. A real aromatic bomb that you will love to enjoy on its own or use as a flavoring to cook a pigeon or roast duck. It will also go well with red fruit tarts. Delicious with a beef ham.
Learn more about the Cazottes distillery
Laurent Cazottes, winemaker, distiller and natural liqueur maker, is a revealer of quintessences. In Villeneuve-sur-Vère, near Gaillac (Tarn), he cultivates a veritable Eden of biodiversity. On limestone soil, he cultivates fruit trees, vines, shrubs and vegetable plants, which he transforms into wines, eaux-de-vie and liqueurs.
Production secrets
First of all, the integrity of the fruit and the vine, cultivated in certified organic (Eurofeuille and Nature & Progrès labels) and biodynamically, then careful attention given to their maceration at perfect maturity in the estate's organic eau-de-vie, and finally a precise and light dosage of sugar.
The Cazottes touch
"Liqueur does not mean sweet," Laurent likes to say. The particularity of Cazottes liqueurs and eaux-de-vie is their fidelity to the raw material: it is the whole fruit that we have in our mouths, with all its nuances and its delicacy. They are low in alcohol, low in sugar: they are exceptional nectars.
Pinot Gris Origin Blanc 2021
Jean-Marc Dreyer
Dense, taut, dry, and aromatic, Jean-Marc Dreyer's Pinot Gris Origin expresses structure and integrity here. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range is dedicated to single-varietal cuvées based on Alsatian varieties, here the classic Pinot Gris grape variety, formerly called Tokay in Alsace, macerated in whole bunches. Pinot Gris Origin is a true redefinition of this world-famous grape variety, whose name has been somewhat misused by the American market in its Italian form (Pinot Grigio) in recent years, which makes this Alsatian interpretation particularly interesting, based not only on the local expression of the grape variety but also on the deployment of its possibilities. Here, maceration gives it a new character, marked by tension and rectitude. It finally finds its say and adds a few strings to its bow. Pairs with practically everything, but come on, we'll dare: with caviar, it's the best. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or in the cellar.

"Maceration in Alsace is a tradition!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, we worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the marc to the press. " Whole bunch maceration is Jean-Marc Dreyer's signature and represents 85% of the estate's production, the rest consisting of direct-pressed whites, often aged using controlled oxidation. Jean-Marc 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, but he hesitated for a while between several methods: at the beginning, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then, a sweet period: all his wines contain residual sugar. In 2008, he tried vinifying without any sulfur and found his direction: the following winter, upon returning from the pilgrimage to Compostela, he swore never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserts his style around skin maceration, quite advanced, chiseled, always surprising on Alsatian grape varieties, of which it brings out the structure without sacrificing the delicacy. Jean-Marc works in single-varietal or blended vintages and also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.
White Absinthe 60° - 70cl
Awen Nature Distillery
This certified organic white absinthe is the result of a special recipe that was the subject of many years of research by the founder of the Awen Nature distillery. Entirely organic and natural, it derives its flavor from a combination of seven distilled botanicals, a bouquet that expresses very refreshing notes, always with a dominant anise and complex notes of plants such as wormwood, coriander, hyssop, and lemongrass. This absinthe is created and distilled exactly as this liqueur was before the 1915 ban. To fully appreciate it, we recommend the traditional method: in a glass containing a measure of absinthe, place a sugar cube on an absinthe spoon and pour fresh water drop by drop over the sugar cube. Upon contact with water, white absinthe becomes slightly cloudy to reveal iridescent and brilliant reflections.

The Awen Nature distillery is a factory of magic potions: beverages with a strong Celtic content, organic liqueurs with a strong touch of poetry. This Breton distillery, located in Ille-et-Vilaine and run by Julien Fanny, initially dedicated itself to absinthe, a liqueur that Julien helped to rehabilitate. It’s not “the liqueur that makes you crazy,” he says: “we were already crazy before.” He strives—successfully—to reproduce the taste of yesteryear, that of the absinthes that were once given to children on a piece of sugar as a dewormer. “You need a touch of madness to be a distiller today,” says Julien. In addition to absinthe, Julien distills a wide range of spirits and liqueurs: gins, vodkas, botanical rums, Swedish elixir, concoctions inspired by role-playing games... All made from plants, respecting the environment, without preservatives or artificial flavors. An ode to plants that the korrigans must sip in secret, at night, on the moors.
Vino Bianco Ambar White 2020
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.

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 proving to be a breeding ground for young winemaking talents dedicated to nature, who are enhancing 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 developed 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 magnificently 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 above all for pleasure. They are straightforward, deep, and
Ma' Carotte Blanc 2018,
Frédéric Gounan
It will meet all occasions. Fruity, balanced, fresh, and mineral, Ma' Carotte is an orange wine—in other words, a macerated white—from Auvergne made from equal parts Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, directly pressed. Enjoy it, Frédéric doesn't make it every year.

Coming from a farming family established in the commune of Saint-Sandoux (Puy-de-Dôme) for at least two centuries, Frédéric Gounan was first a mechanic and prototype designer for the French motorcycle brand Voxan, headquartered in Issoire. He turned away from the industrial world to devote himself to wine with his partner Caroline. He intends to take advantage of the magnificent terroirs of his native village, far from "pissing the vines", as was done in the past: he notes that everything that comes from this land has exceptional taste qualities. He takes over plots of Gamay d'Auvergne, plants other grape varieties, and ends up producing vintages that are among the tastiest and most sought-after in Auvergne. On this land of the Chaîne des Puys, Pinot Noirs grow on black basalt soils, Sauvignons and Pinot Gris rest on white clay-limestone soils pebbled with basalt. A follower of organic and biodynamic agriculture, Frédéric also applies methods that he considers appropriate to the climate and the terroir: to facilitate photosynthesis in this harsh and contrasting climate, he practices lyre trellising which allows the vines' foliage to be aerated and exposed to the sun, guaranteeing ripe fruit at harvest. Still a mechanic at heart, he makes his tools and tinkers with his tractors according to his needs. His wines are rare and distinguished, highly sought after by connoisseurs: small estate (less than two hectares), small production (by volume, not by spirit).
Maquis Red 2015
Lledo what? Here's a deep red produced from Lledoner Pelut, a little-known Catalan grape variety. The Maquis cuvée reflects the quintessence of the clay-limestone soil, with the added bounty of Roussillon. The grapes are vinified in whole bunches, crushed by foot, then placed in cement vats. A captivating nose with notes of raspberry, confirmed on the palate, with a fairly pronounced tannic texture.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
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.
Côtes du Rhône Red 2022
This Côtes-du-Rhône from Domaine des Grandes Serres is what its name implies: an organic and natural red wine from the lower Rhône Valley, in the AOC-AOP Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages. It is part of the estate's "Comics" natural series (see label).
Vinification
The Côtes-du-Rhône from Domaine des Grandes Serres is made from 80% Syrah, with 5% of each of the following grape varieties: Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, all grown on limestone and sandstone soils. The harvest is manual, the grapes are destemmed and macerated on the skins for three weeks. After pressing, the wine rests for eight months in stainless steel vats.
Tasting
A good, dense, indulgent, and fruity Côtes-du-Rhône, without the slight bite of sulfites, does that tempt you? This Côtes-du-Rhône is part of the estate's organic and natural "Comics" series and will always be perfect when you want a warm, fruity red wine suitable for all occasions.
Learn more about Domaine des Grandes Serres
Domaine des Grandes Serres, created in 1977 with respect for the environment and the terroir, represents the excellence and vitality, in organic and natural mode, of the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, where it covers 12 hectares. To make his estate and merchant wines, he harvests, buys grapes, vinifies, and ages them over a wide area, centered around Châteauneuf and the southern Côtes-du-Rhône, extending to areas such as Lirac and the Costières de Nîmes.
An organic commitment without ostentation
A large portion of the Domaine des Grandes Serres vintages are organic and without added sulfites, although the estate does not publicly boast about it. Modestly, Samuel Montgermont, the estate's general manager, explains that the geological and climatic conditions, particularly the mistral wind, promote the health of the vineyard and allow for the elimination of inputs. While the labels don't take themselves seriously, the wines are solid, fresh, and flavorful.
Aquavit
Distillerie du Viaduc
With this Aquavit distilled in Paris, Distillerie du Viaduc pays homage to Scandinavian traditions while asserting a resolutely artisanal and local identity. Inspired by Nordic aquavits, this organic spirit is based on caraway, whose aromatic depth structures the whole. The botanicals used, caraway, dill, fenugreek, and orange peel, are all from organic French agriculture and undergo slow maceration before complete distillation in a traditional still.
Sugar-free, dye-free, and additive-free, this cuvée expresses remarkable purity. The nose is immediately warm, dominated by caraway, balanced by aniseed notes and zesty freshness. On the palate, the attack is round, almost gourmet, followed by a spicy, slightly smoky framework thanks to the fenugreek, and subtly softened by dill. The finish reveals a pleasant orange sweetness, long and refreshing, with a very elegant herbaceous return.
This new generation aquavit can be enjoyed neat or on ice, as a digestif, or as an aperitif, lengthened with a dry tonic or ginger beer. It also perfectly accompanies smoked fish, Nordic savory dishes, or plant-based cuisine with caramelized or earthy notes. At 42%, it remains accessible, fine, and well-balanced, reflecting the precise work of Distillerie du Viaduc.
A beautiful tribute to Northern Europe, with a French terroir accent.
Green Absinthe
Distillerie Awen Nature
The result of meticulous expertise deeply rooted in plants, Distillerie Awen Nature's Green Absinthe, based in Brittany, is a rare and vibrant spirit, at the crossroads of ancestral traditions and contemporary herbalism. Crafted from a rigorous selection of organic plants, including absinthe of course, but also hemp, mint, lemongrass, and hyssop, this cuvée proudly displays its 60% ABV, while maintaining astonishing finesse.
Here, there are no artificial colors or additives: the magnificent green hue comes exclusively from post-distillation plant maceration, according to methods respectful of tradition. The plants are distilled separately, then precisely blended to create a rich and balanced aromatic profile.
On the nose, it's an explosion of herbaceous and floral notes: you'll find the freshness of mint, the light citrus, and the depth of hyssop mingled with resinous touches of hemp. On the palate, the attack is bold yet silky, carried by a beautiful, elegant bitterness, without heaviness or excess. The finish is long, fresh, almost medicinal, with a natural tension that makes it an absinthe for tasting, but also an exceptional cocktail base.
Certified organic (Eurofeuille + AB), this absinthe respects both the plant and the palate. A committed, artisanal, local distillation that restores absinthe to its former glory while exploring new botanical avenues thanks to hemp.

A mineral and complex Riesling from an exceptional terroir
The Fleckstein 2023, from Domaine Einhart, is a superb expression of Riesling from clay-limestone soil, enhanced by artisanal vinification. After a low-temperature pre-fermentation maceration, designed to preserve the purity of the aromas while structuring the wine, this iconic grape variety was aged for one year in a sandstone egg. This unique container allows for a subtle exchange with the air, enhancing the wine's depth and texture while maintaining its freshness.
On the nose, this Riesling reveals an elegant aromatic blend of citrus, white peach, and white flower notes, enhanced by a flinty minerality typical of the terroir. On the palate, the attack is lively and crystalline, offering a beautiful tension supported by fruity flavors and dense salivation. The finish, long and marked by subtle bitters, allows the typicality of the limestone to fully express itself, with a horizontality and structure that enchants the taste buds.
Refined gastronomic pairings
The Fleckstein 2023 pairs wonderfully with seafood, shellfish, or raw fish such as ceviche or sea bream tartare. It will also enhance white meats and fresh cheeses. Its great liveliness and aromatic complexity make it an ideal choice for special occasions or gourmet meals.
Serve between 8 and 10°C after decanting to reveal all its richness, this Riesling is a wine for laying down, which will evolve gracefully over the years.
