Coeur brisé (Culinaries exclusive) Rosé 2022
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Watch out, this is a gem! We're talking about a micro-juice, born from a tiny plot (barely 20 ares tucked away in the Auvergne region). Pure Gamay d'Auvergne, young, vibrant, and above all… you won't find it anywhere else. Because this cuvée was created especially for you with Aurélien Lefort, exclusively for Culinaries. Yes, it's a BIG DEAL.
Aurélien isn't just a winemaker, he's a poet-artisan. A former visual artist, he now paints with the vine: no chemicals, no recipes, just life, from the soil to the stars. He observes, guides, and lets nature take its course. 2022? A hot summer, hand-harvested, harvested at precisely the right moment to preserve freshness and floral notes. The result: a vibrant, crisp, and energetic wine.
Tasting & pairings
Cœur Brisé is a free-spirited rosé, pure poetry. It opens with white flowers, crisp red berries, a citrus twist, and a saline touch that grooves on the finish. On the palate, it's straightforward, with pure energy and a velvety texture that makes you want to come back for more.
Note that this wine is not ready to be opened today: it needs time to reveal its full depth and brilliance. Let it rest for a while in the cellar, and you will discover a rosé for connoisseurs, capable of pairing equally well with refined Mediterranean cuisine, a generous barbecue with friends, a tangy ceviche, fragrant grilled meats, or even a selection of aged cheeses. Patience will be rewarded with a vibrant and singular rarity.
Rare, exclusive, vibrant. A winemaker's wine, a wine for friends, a wine that breaks the mold. Cœur Brisé 2022: the rosé bombshell by Aurélien Lefort, exclusively at Culinaries.
Mensonge à Papa Red 2020,
Here is a light, fresh, supple, and fruity red that proudly bears the banner of Gamay from two regions: Auvergne and Beaujolais. It is the result of a blend of equal parts of these two origins of the same grape variety, neither entirely identical nor entirely different. An ode to Gamay, in a way. These Gamays from Auvergne and Beaujolais are first slowly pressed, then their must is added to whole bunches for a fifteen-day carbonic maceration. Aging takes place in fiberglass vats. Classified as a Vin de France and with an alcohol content of 13.5%, it will be wonderful as an aperitif or with a meal, or just to have a good time.

Founded and run by Claire Sage and Aimé Duveau, located in Chanteuges (Haute-Loire), Belly Wine Experiment is as much an experience as a winemaking business. The creative duo has it in spades: Claire is the sister of Adrien 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 or Jura grape varieties, readily in the same bottle. Aimé is the son of Manu Duveau, a winemaker-poet from Auvergne, a former stonemason and a great winemaker of local Gamays at his Domaine de l'Égrappille. The uniqueness 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 semi-carbonic maceration, without the addition of chemical inputs or excessive manipulation in the cellar. The house is also known for its very high-quality, vinous perries.

SéRuM Rouge 2019,
Aurélien Lefort
Ready for the most advanced experiments, Aurélien Lefort has produced a small quantity of a sweet Gamay red (100% Auvergne Gamay) using a late harvest. The vines are over a hundred years old, planted in 1904 on red clay soils rich in quartz and granite sand (Lamouret location). The harvest takes place in November, with an alcohol content between 18 and 21%. Vinification is traditional: destemming, three months of maceration in vats, and three years of aging in barrels. Bottling was carried out at the end of October 2021.

Established since 2011 in Madriat, near Boudes, in the southern part of Puy-de-Dôme, Aurélien Lefort is an artist (graduate of Fine Arts) passionate about wine and nature. After training with Michel Auger (Loire) and Patrick Bouju, he decided on Auvergne and took over the lease of abandoned vineyards. The Boudes region is an ancient wine-growing region, an exceptional volcanic terroir, warm and vibrant, exploited for nearly two thousand years. Aurélien's approach is to encourage the rebirth of this magnificent vineyard. He does so on small areas of stunning pedological diversity: basalt, granite, calcareous red clay, sandy and gravelly clay on quartz flows, and, at the foot of the hill, white marl clay. On this substrate, the Auvergne trilogy (gamay, pinot noir and chardonnay) takes my lion's share. In Aurélien's hands, the singular talent of Auvergne gamay, an ancient grape variety as dense and powerful as it is spicy, which finds a particular expression on these volcanic soils. His plots are grassed but mowed to control humidity, and the vine stocks are worked with a pickaxe to avoid suffocating the root system. The harvest, always manual, can last up to three weeks due to the meticulous sorting of the berries. It is at this price that Aurélien Lefort creates his rare and sought-after vintages, resulting from macerations that tend to be long (up to three months). Mostly red, sometimes sparkling, sometimes also mellow (late harvest reds), they always leave a lasting, even unforgettable, sensation.
Aubunite Sparkling Red 2016
La Sorga
A blend of 80% Aubunite and about 20% Aramon, with a little Auvergne Gamay and Carignan, grape varieties sourced mostly from the limestone sands around Carcassonne and the rest from the basalt soils of Auvergne. The Aubunite macerates in whole bunches; the other grape varieties are destemmed. The wine is bottled by hand, and disgorgement is performed by Antony himself. Its notes of red fruits and spices will complement an aperitif and will not disappoint a chocolate mousse. Aging potential: five years.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Cailloux Rouge 2022
Patrick Bouju
Cailloux is an organic and natural red wine from Patrick Bouju, with no added sulfites and sourced from the Auvergne terroir. Classified as a Vin de France, it is a wine extremely representative of its terroir and a fine example of the winemaker's refined expertise. The magnum format amplifies its natural character and further accentuates its depth.
Vinification
Cailloux comes from Patrick Bouju's old Pinot Noir vines located in Madargue, near Riom, in Limagne. The terroir is basaltic, clay-limestone, marl-limestone, and sandy. The grapes macerate in whole bunches, and during fermentation, 1% of the estate's Chardonnay press juice is added. The wine is aged for a year in sandstone amphorae and barrels.
Tasting
Cailloux lives up to its name: wild, smoky, long, and stony, with great aromatic persistence. Marked by intensely mineral notes: stone, metal. The fruit is present and juicy. The overall impression is dense and concentrated; the wine can be drunk now but will still have a few years to drink. Serving temperature: 14-16 °C. Open twenty minutes before tasting or decant. You can pair it with charcuterie, salted meats, beef and all kinds of local cuisine.

A winemaker who lends a helping hand
The current renaissance of the Auvergne vineyard (which was once the third largest in France) owes a lot to Patrick. The fact that he likes to lend a hand to his winemaker friends in France and elsewhere only confirms his image as a role model, a leader. Its noble, chiseled, distinguished, never trivial wines are immediately recognizable in the glass.
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.
