Coruna del Conde
Julien López's I'm Natural, Don't Panic range consists of macerated wines.

Magnum Munjebel CS Red 2015
This pure Nerello Mascalese comes from an ungrafted vine in the Zottorinoto contrada, growing on the Chiusa Spagnola plot, surrounded by lava rocks, somewhat hidden in an amphitheater-like landscape and at an altitude of 620 meters. This plot was planted in 1925 and produces a deep, tannic wine, somewhat reminiscent of Nebbiolo, with a slightly less intense color than the estate's other reds.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

VNBA Vinel lo Ancestral Sparkling White 2021
Partida Creus
"The nose of this Vinel lo Blanco Ancestral offers aromas of ripe white fruits and yeast reminiscent of pastries. On the palate, it is elegant, fresh, and suitable for all occasions, but we recommend it as an aperitif or to accompany desserts (king cake, pithiviers, millefeuille, and all types of puff pastry). This lively and easy-drinking white sparkling wine (10% alcohol) is a blend of native Catalan grape varieties: Garnatxa Blanca, Macabeu, Moscatell, Vinyater, Xarel lo, Pansé, and Parellada. The harvest is pressed directly, and the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts. A second fermentation takes place in the bottle, where it ages for 10 months on its lees. fines. Dry, light, and fruity, classified as a Vino de Mesa (table wine), Vinel·lo Blanco Ancestral will easily replace a Champagne with a sunnier nuance.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective—we're talking about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont—and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-known—first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and soon they abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a quantity of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties, which they passionately revived to save these varieties—and their wines— of oblivion. For them, it is not just a matter of heritage rescue, no: it is a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will never stop making 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. 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: it is a true conservatory of native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. There is also moscatel, Grenache, Merlot, and Cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety as best as possible: single varietals 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 indicate the cuvée. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straight and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.
Crac Rosé 2021
Belly Wine Experiment
Fresh, fruity, and pleasant, Crac is a vin gris, a still rosé wine made entirely or partially from black grapes. It generally undergoes a very short maceration, hence its light color. This is obtained by slow direct pressing (forty-eight hours) of Auvergne Gamays "sur limagne," or on the dark-colored sedimentary and volcanic soils that make up the Auvergne plain. This slow pressing, replacing a short maceration, allows for a gentle extraction of the grape's constituents and gives the wine its color. To these Auvergne Gamays are added a proportion of Pinot Gris from Alsace. Categorized as Vin de France, free from any chemical or sulfite additives in the vineyard or in the cellar, Crac spends a year aging on lees before bottling. This wine is produced using organic farming methods and has received no chemical or sulfite additives, in the vineyard or in the cellar. It will go very well with charcuterie, cured meats, and tapas of all kinds.

Founded and run by Claire Sage and Aimé Duveau, located in Chanteuges (Haute-Loire), Belly Wine Experiment is as much an experiment as it is a winemaking business. The creative duo has a lot to offer: 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 specificity of Belly Wine Experiment is the exoticism (in the literal sense) of the blends, with Xarel lo from Catalonia being able to rub shoulders, for example, with 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.
Unatantum Liquoreux Red Still 2009
This sweet red is 100% aleatico, grown on the volcanic soils of the Azienda Le Coste estate. The grapes are air-dried for a month, hung in whole bunches from wires, and the wine is slowly fermented for three years. This produces a wine that is sweet without being syrupy, and wonderfully complex.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Super Pink Rosé 2024
Frédéric Cossard
Avec Super Pink 2024, Frédéric Cossard revisite le rosé en version libre, naturelle et joyeuse. Cette cuvée de négoce 100 % Cinsault, vendangée à la main dans le Vaucluse, est vinifiée en Bourgogne, dans le respect total des principes du vin nature : sans intrants, sans levures exogènes, sans filtration ni soufre ajouté.
Le cépage méridional, léger et fruité, est ici travaillé en pressurage direct, pour une extraction douce et précise. La fermentation se fait uniquement avec les levures indigènes, dans une logique de respect total du raisin et de son origine. Le vin est ensuite élevé 6 mois en cuve inox, ce qui lui conserve toute sa fraîcheur, son éclat aromatique et sa buvabilité.
La robe est pâle, légèrement saumonée, presque cristalline. Le nez explose sur des fruits rouges frais, des notes d'agrumes acidulés et un joli fond floral. En bouche, le vin est sec, vif, très fluide, avec une légère structure vineuse qui le distingue des rosés technos. L’équilibre entre tension, fruit et légèreté en fait un véritable vin de plaisir, mais aussi de gastronomie.
Parfait pour l’apéritif, des grillades estivales, des plats légèrement épicés ou même en contrepoint rafraîchissant à certains desserts fruités. Super Pink est un rosé naturel, sincère et immédiat, à boire jeune, bien frais, les pieds dans l’herbe ou face à la mer.
Susucaru Rosato Rosé 2024
Frank Cornelissen
Avec Susucaru Rosato 2024, Frank Cornelissen continue d’élargir les frontières du rosé. Né sur les pentes volcaniques de l’Etna, ce vin sicilien à la robe pâle et aux nuances intenses est bien plus qu’un rosé de soif : c’est un rosé de terroir, complexe, structuré, et profondément vivant.
Issu d’un assemblage unique de cépages autochtones – Nerello Mascalese, Malvasia, Moscadella et Catarratto – vendangés à la main, ce vin IGP Terre Siciliane est élaboré sans compromis : macération égrappée d’une semaine, fermentation avec levures indigènes, aucun intrant œnologique, et un élevage d’un an en cuves époxy pour préserver la pureté du fruit.
Le terroir joue ici un rôle majeur. Les sols noirs volcaniques de l’Etna apportent une tension minérale saisissante, presque saline, qui structure l’ensemble. Au nez, on retrouve une grande complexité aromatique : fruits rouges frais, poivre blanc, pétales de rose séchée, et une touche légèrement fumée. En bouche, c’est un vin texturé, entre la fluidité d’un rosé et la profondeur d’un rouge léger. La finale est longue, persistante, marquée par une amertume noble et une sensation presque tannique.
Susucaru Rosato est un vin caméléon : parfait à l’apéritif, sur des grillades, des charcuteries artisanales, des plats épicés ou des viandes rouges juste saisies. À servir légèrement frais, il peut aussi se garder quelques années pour révéler d’autres facettes. Une cuvée culte, recherchée, au croisement de la tradition et de l’expérimentation.
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.
Antenet Cahors Rouge 1998
Danis dans la Vigne
Une pépite de cave, entre héritage familial et profondeur du temps
Voici un vin rare, presque confidentiel, qui raconte une histoire avant même d’être ouvert. Antenet 1998 est une cuvée unique, vinifiée il y a plus de vingt-cinq ans par le père de Danis, l’actuel vigneron du domaine Danis dans la vigne. Ce Cahors d’un autre temps, issu à 100 % de Malbec, a été élaboré dans le respect des traditions et avec une philosophie déjà très proche du naturel : courte macération, élevage en cuve béton pendant deux ans, aucun maquillage œnologique.
Le sol argilo-calcaire typique du vignoble de Cahors donne ici un vin de garde par excellence, aux tanins polis par le temps et à l’aromatique d’une grande richesse. À 12 % d’alcool seulement, il défie les standards modernes par son équilibre, sa fraîcheur et sa longévité exceptionnelle.
Un vin profond, patiné, chargé de mémoire
Après plus de deux décennies de repos, Antenet 1998 révèle une robe grenat tuilée, aux reflets bruns. Le nez, complexe et envoûtant, dévoile des arômes de fruits noirs compotés, de pruneau, de tabac blond, avec une pointe de sous-bois. En bouche, la matière est fondue, ample, d’une suavité rare. Ce vin évoque une époque révolue, mais reste d’une gourmandise saisissante, parfait sur des viandes rôties, du gibier ou un plat riche en umami.
Servi à 16-18°C, sans besoin de carafage, ce vin est prêt à être dégusté. C’est une archive liquide, un trésor familial, à découvrir comme on lirait une lettre du passé.
Covenant Rouge 2020
Danis dans la Vigne
Un Malbec d’exception, mûri dans le silence du chai
Covenant 2020, c’est le temps long et la patience comme philosophie. Une cuvée très singulière signée Danis dans la vigne, façonnée avec une rare minutie. Ce 100 % Malbec, cultivé en agriculture biologique sur les sols argilo-calcaires du Cahors profond, est vinifié naturellement, sans intervention œnologique superflue, avec une macération courte, puis élevé pendant trois ans en barriques, ouillées une seule fois par an. Une méthode exigeante, audacieuse, qui permet au vin de se concentrer, de s’oxyder lentement, de s’arrondir dans une dynamique quasi oxydative, avant un passage en cuve inox pendant un an, puis un repos d’un an en bouteille.
Un vin mûr, complexe, abouti, qui tranche avec l’image parfois brute du Malbec. Covenant porte bien son nom : un véritable pacte entre le temps, la matière et le geste vigneron.
Profond, enveloppant, méditatif
Dès le service, le vin s’ouvre sur une robe sombre, aux reflets grenat profonds. Le nez est envoutant : cacao amer, épices douces, fruit noir compoté, truffe, presque un soupçon de cuir. En bouche, c’est une expérience à part. La texture est veloutée, ample, mais parfaitement équilibrée. La longueur est remarquable, persistante, saline en finale. On sent un vin en pleine maturité, prêt à être dégusté, mais aussi armé pour la garde.
Covenant 2020 est taillé pour les viandes rouges nobles, le gibier, un plat à la truffe, ou même un dessert au chocolat noir pour les plus audacieux. À servir à 16-18°C, sans carafage, dans un grand verre qui lui laisse le temps de respirer.
Marty Rouge 2022
Danis dans la Vigne
Un Malbec droit et charnel, tiré d’un terroir d’exception
Marty 2022 est bien plus qu’une simple cuvée : c’est un hommage vibrant au terroir profond de Cahors, et notamment à l'une des plus belles parcelles du domaine Danis dans la vigne. Ce Malbec issu de sols argilo-calcaires, cultivé en agriculture biologique et sans aucune chimie de synthèse, donne ici un vin naturel dense, juteux et profondément sincère.
La macération courte, suivie de 8 mois d’élevage en cuve inox, permet de préserver l’intégrité du fruit tout en révélant la finesse du cépage. Sans ajout d'intrants, avec des levures indigènes uniquement, cette cuvée respecte l'esprit du vin vivant, et offre une expression élégante et lisible du Malbec, loin des extractions pesantes et des boisés marqués.
Un rouge vibrant, structuré mais souple
Dès l’ouverture, Marty 2022 affiche une robe pourpre profonde aux reflets violacés. Le nez est immédiat, généreux, mêlant des arômes de fruits noirs mûrs, de fruit confit, et une touche subtile de cuir, qui évoque la rusticité noble du cépage. En bouche, l’attaque est souple, suivie d’une belle structure tannique fondue, sans dureté, et portée par une belle fraîcheur. C’est un vin à la fois gourmand et sérieux, qui accompagnera parfaitement des viandes rouges grillées, des plats mijotés ou une belle pièce de bœuf maturée.
À servir entre 16 et 18°C, il peut se déguster dès maintenant ou se garder 5 à 10 ans en cave pour gagner encore en complexité. Un Cahors moderne et vivant, comme une passerelle entre tradition et liberté.
Côte Pelée Red 2019
This splendid Côte Pelée cuvée, produced in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron, is a red wine classified as a Vin de France. A rare and precious bottle.
Vinification
Côte Pelée is made from century-old Mondeuse vines growing on mica-schist soils in Albertville. Only the finest grapes are selected to make this cuvée. The cap is punched down for two months and the grapes are aged for two years in barrels.
Tasting
A powerful, deep, and robust wine with notes of leather, black fruits, cherry, raspberry, and blackberry. A vintage that you will pair with the finest red meats and regional cuisine.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies the 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 surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, 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.
Italian-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 in Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his winemaking and aging experiences.
Borgonon Granate Red 2006,
Borgoñón Granate is an organic and natural red wine from Andalusia made from Pinot Noir. Classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), it is vinified by Cortijo Barranco Oscuro. As its name suggests, it draws inspiration from Burgundy. This 2006, which has had time to reflect, is one of the best vintages of this cuvée.
Vinification
This wine comes from Pinot Noir vines planted at an altitude of 1,280 meters on schist soils. The wine is aged for one year in old barrels.
Tasting
Borgoñón Granate is a beautifully atypical wine that displays remarkable density while being relatively clear and not very concentrated (a reference to Burgundy). Intense red fruits, cherries, melted and velvety tannins, and a long and seductive smoky finish. It ages well. Great balance, melted tannins, pair it with a beautiful grilled prime rib or Spanish canned fish. A pata negra ham? Certainly, it's a compatriot.
Learn more about Cortijo Barranco Oscuro
Manuel Valenzuela cultivates the highest vines in the world (1,368 meters), in Andalusia, on the Sierra Contraviesa. Barranco oscuro means "dark valley," a reminder of the original site of the property, which was moved at the end of the 19th century after the phylloxera crisis. In 1979, the estate was taken over by Manuel, who decided to use natural methods in preference to those of modern oenology.
A drop of 1,400 meters
At first, he bought grapes, but his goal was to replant vines. Currently, the twelve hectares of Cortijo Barranco Oscuro extend over a drop of almost 1,400 meters. On a poor, dry, schistose terroir, two localities concentrate the plots: Cerro Las Monjas at the very top and Hoyo y Cerro de Las Gayumbas lower down, near the winery buildings.
High-altitude wines
Strong thermal contrasts explain the freshness of the wines, produced without the addition of exogenous yeasts and without inputs in the vineyard or cellar. Although the estate is not certified organic due to the disillusionment that fraud in this area has brought Manuel, his estate is a member of the Spanish Association of Natural Wine Producers. His wines are straightforward and clean, without compromise: they give joy through the seriousness of the work that was necessary to produce them.
Auxerrois Origin White 2022,
Auxerrois Origin by Jean-Marc Dreyer is an organic (AB label), biodynamic, and natural dry white Alsatian maceration wine (orange wine), with no added sulfites. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range consists of single-varietal cuvées based on six Alsatian grape varieties (Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Muscat), enhanced by skin-contact maceration with a touch of controlled oxidation. The discovery of each Origin vintage is always a pleasant surprise.
Vinification
Auxerrois, or Pinot Auxerrois, is a typically Alsatian grape variety with floral and spicy notes. The harvest, done by hand, is macerated for seven days in whole bunches. After pressing and fermentation, the wine is aged for ten to eleven months in Alsatian style, in tuns and demi-muids, without topping up. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.
Tasting
Floral, fresh, seductive, slightly smoky, Auxerrois Origin by Jean-Marc Dreyer is both atypical and delicious. The maceration gives it a distinguished chew on very fine tannins. With its amber color, floral notes, seductive bitters, delicious salinity, hints of white peach and citrus, and perfect straightness, it is ready for any pairing. A bellota Iberico ham would melt with happiness next to it, but it will also be a delight alongside smoked fish, seafood platters, mature cheeses, or white meats. We will enjoy it, for our part, with a beautiful roasted poultry.
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 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.
Tri-Aux White 2022,
Tri-Aux is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Alsace (AB label) produced by Jean-Marc Dreyer without added sulfites. Its name is a play on words based on its composition: three successive vintages of the Auxerrois grape variety.
Vinification
Auxerrois or Pinot Auxerrois is a typically Alsatian white grape variety. For all three vintages, the harvest is vinified using direct pressing, fermented, and then aged in barrels for one to three years. The resulting wines are blended to create this cuvée. Biodynamic viticulture method, fermentation by indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or in the cellar.
Tasting
Tri-Aux is a lovely, seductive and fresh wine, aromatic and floral, delicious and dry at the same time. It offers spicy notes (cinnamon, dried fruits), a round and complex, saline body, and a finish of white fruits. Lots of energy and character. For all occasions, from the most relaxed to the most distinguished. Offer it roasted white meats, pata negra ham and other high-end cured meats. It will also be very comfortable with shellfish and oysters.
