Finisterra White 2019,

Jean-Marc Dreyer

Aromatic and floral, full of citrus peel and tropical fruits, Finisterra is a sort of quintessential Alsace wine, a rare and refined vintage of captivating complexity. Lychee, passion fruit, white flowers, ginger, and yellow rose, on an aromatic background of beeswax. This wine has balsamic accents of waxed old wood and yellow fruits (peach), spices, on a delicate mineral framework of tannins reminiscent of Chinese oolong tea. The secret? Jean-Marc Dreyer blended five grape varieties—Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois, and Gewurztraminer—to create this skin-macerated cuvée with structure, oxidative notes, and a deep amber color. It will pair very well with roast poultry, game, and anything related to duck or goose: duck breasts, duck with blood, roast duckling, confit, and foie gras. We also imagine it with well-simmered wild mushrooms. A wine to enjoy after an autumn walk. Biodynamic method, fermentation using indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, with no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

"Maceration is a tradition in Alsace!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, people 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 remainder consisting of direct-pressed whites, often aged using controlled oxidation. Jean-Marc succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, established 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 first, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then came the sweet period: all his wines contained 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.

Magnum Charpenay White 2017

Domaine de La Gapette

One of those pure (and all too rare) Beaujolais whites! A 100% Chardonnay from vines planted on the granite and sandy soils around Mont Brouilly. On both the nose and palate, the Charpenay cuvée captivates with beautiful notes of freshly picked white fruits and a slightly honeyed finish.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Variette Rouge 2018, Domaine Fond Cyprès
A blend of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault: a full-bodied red with aromas of garrigue, blackcurrant and blackberry. Pairs well with red wine stews: beef stew, gardianne, bourguignon, coq au vin, as well as roast red meats. Ideal with poached pears.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Le Blouge à Nestor Rouge 2022

Domaine Bélicard

Avec Le Blouge à Nestor 2022, le Domaine Bélicard nous offre une cuvée à part, résolument naturelle, libre et décalée. Le nom en dit long : un "blouge", contraction joyeuse de blanc et rouge, élaboré à partir d’un assemblage de Gamay et de Chardonnay, tous deux issus de l’agriculture biologique dans le Beaujolais. Un vin sans artifice, à partager sans hésitation.

Ici, on joue la carte de l’infusion : les raisins, vendangés manuellement, sont vinifiés en grappes entières, avec une fermentation semi-carbonique qui préserve toute la fraîcheur du fruit. La macération est courte (environ un mois), puis le vin est élevé en cuve bois, dans le respect total du jus, sans aucun intrant œnologique, avec levures indigènes et un sulfitage très réduit, voire absent.

Dans le verre, Le Blouge à Nestor séduit par sa robe rubis légère, presque trouble. Le nez évoque les fruits rouges frais, la cerise kirschée, des notes épicées et une touche florale. La bouche est souple, fluide, ultra glouglou mais pas simpliste. On retrouve une belle vivacité, une matière légère, des tanins fondus, et une finale légèrement épicée.

C’est un vin fait pour les apéros entre amis, les charcuteries fines, une salade tiède, des tapas, ou simplement pour ouvrir une bonne bouteille sans occasion précise. Le Blouge, c’est du plaisir pur en bouteille, avec cette touche artisanale et sincère qu’on attend d’un vin naturel bien fait.

Cuvée YARD x Einhart Blanc Orange 2023

Domaine Einhart 

Un vin orange d’Alsace éclatant, libre et gourmand

Avec cette Cuvée YARD x Einhart 2023, le Domaine Einhart sort des sentiers battus et propose un blanc de macération haut en couleur et en expression. Réalisée en collaboration avec YARD, cette cuvée en édition limitée conjugue l’énergie de la jeune scène gastronomique et le savoir-faire d’un vigneron engagé en agriculture biologique au cœur de l’Alsace.

L’assemblage de Pinot Gris et Gewurztraminer, deux cépages traditionnellement aromatiques, a été travaillé en macération de quelques jours pour en extraire matière, couleur et caractère. Le vin a ensuite été élevé 6 mois en cuve inox, sur lies, pour conserver une trame fraîche et éclatante. Le terroir calcaire renforce cette tension minérale qui équilibre parfaitement la richesse naturelle des cépages.

Un orange accessible, floral et légèrement épicé

La robe cuivrée brillante évoque déjà la gourmandise. Le nez est charmeur, très expressif : rose fraîche, zeste d’agrumes, pointe de caramel blond et épices douces. En bouche, le vin dévoile une texture soyeuse, avec une belle acidité et une fine structure tannique typique des vins oranges, mais ici très mesurée. L’ensemble est fluide, vivant, presque joyeux.

Cette cuvée se boit à 10-12°C, sans carafage, en toute simplicité mais avec du fond. Elle accompagne avec brio un barbecue estival, une cuisine asiatique parfumée, ou même des fromages à croûte lavée. À boire dès aujourd’hui ou dans les deux ans, pour profiter de sa fraîcheur vibrante.

Gewurztraminer Origin White 2022,

Jean-Marc Dreyer

Jean-Marc Dreyer's Gewurztraminer Origin is an organic (AB label), biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Alsace, made with maceration (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), macerated on the skins with a touch of controlled oxidation, which gives a multidimensional nature to the Gewurztraminer grape variety, thus proving that it has never had its last word.

Vinification

The organically and biodynamically grown Gewurztraminer is harvested by hand and macerated for seven days in whole bunches. After pressing and fermentation, the wine is aged for ten to eleven months in the Alsatian style, in foudres and demi-muids, without topping up. Biodynamic method, fermentation by indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or in the cellar.

Tasting

Fragrant, powerful, sumptuous, disconcerting, addictive, structured in layers and of a surprising complexity, Gewurztraminer Origin is the gewurztraminer that you no longer expected, with an overpowering aromatic, without the sugar commonly associated with this grape variety. All the sugars have been eaten, what remains is an extraordinary richness of aromas, naked and unvarnished. Notes of mango, lychee, ylang-ylang, the bouquet of flowers and exotic fruits is there, sublimated by a dry and straight frame. This wine screams for foie gras, with or without truffle, but it can be drunk with everything from seafood to land.

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.

Muscana Blanc 2020,

Domaine Einhart
Beautiful orange color with amber highlights, the initial nose displays typical aromas of overripe, slightly smoky Muscat berries. The second, very refined nose is accompanied by a hint of citrus, inviting further tasting. The attack, straightforward and very full, is marked by acidity blended into beautiful aromas of candied quince. The finish is invigorating, still with the melted tannins produced by maceration. Muscana, as its name suggests, is a Vin de France made from 100% Muscat grapes grown on the estate on oolitic limestone terroirs of the Muschelkalk type (plots located in Fleckenstein, Westerberg, and Meyen). The average age of the vines is 25 years. The harvest is manual and the grapes are destemmed. Maceration lasts four to six days with indigenous yeasts and aging takes place in stainless steel vats on fine lees, without filtration.

Located in the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, horizontally above Strasbourg, the Einhart estate is a ten-hectare family property whose vines are located on the hillsides that rise between the Alsace plain and the Vosges mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, i.e. shell limestone and oolitic limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone). Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is a co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking to protecting the land and biodiversity, making wine without additives, refusing harmful phytosanitary products, and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic since 2011. Like Jean-Marc Dreyer, he is firmly focused on skin maceration and produces white maceration wines (orange wines) in addition to a Pinot Noir red. Entirely manual harvests, destemming of the grapes, light punching down, and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees, and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are made from pure grapes, lively, powerful, invigorating, and reflect the minerality of the beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.

Tannat Rouge 2020,

Domaine Capmartin
Tannat, as its name suggests, is made entirely from the emblematic grape variety of the Madiran appellation. With no additives or sulfites, it is the natural counterpart to the estate's fine Madirans. The Tannats from which it is made, with an average age of fifteen years and harvested when fully ripe, grow on clay-gravel soils on north-facing plots. The use of cover crops helps loosen the soil and provides nutritional support, alternating with natural grass cover. The harvest is destemmed. Maceration is entirely semicarbonic, followed by pressing in the first third of fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation ends in the liquid phase. Aging is six months in stainless steel vats. This Tannat is already a classic. Simon Capmartin's goal was to create a pure fruit cuvée, to capture the intensity of the grape variety: it is Tannat, picked and bottled. "As little extraction as possible is used; we try to capture the fruit." The profile is quite fresh, but the wine remains quite fleshy and even easy to drink. It is a wine of character, for the table, for eating. A gastronomic wine.

Guy Capmartin settled in 1985 in the former convent of Maumusson-Laguian, in the Gers, to exploit the magnificent surrounding soils, from which he would soon produce highly acclaimed wines in the Madiran and Pacherenc-du-Vic-Bilh appellations. In 1987, Tradition, his first cuvée, was born. Since the 2000s, he has decided to work exclusively in organic and biodynamic agriculture, a decision reinforced and rooted by his son Simon, who took over. The wines have been noted and have received numerous awards. Certification was obtained in 2013, and the Demeter label is in progress. Taking advantage of his most specific plots of the estate, Simon also undertakes to produce natural cuvées, without inputs and according to the principle of minimal interventionism. Labeled Vin de France or Côtes-de-Gascogne, these are the cuvées that we offer you at Culinaries.
The estate's grape varieties are organized around Tannat, the king of Madiran, surrounded by a palette as rich and diverse as the estate's soils: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, a little Syrah and Grenache Noir, plus a few old red vines currently being identified. A plot of tannat, located on a very fine and very supple clay-marl soil with gravel, is pre-phylloxera. For the white, Petit Manseng, Gros Manseng and Petit Courbu, as well as, for the Côtes-de-Gascogne, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Viognier.
The main objective of the Capmartin estate is to make frank, fruity, authentic and honest wines, perfectly reflecting their terroir, which explains the parcel-based nature of the wines under the appellation: one parcel corresponds to one vintage, and vice versa. This also explains the number and variety of vintages.

Organic Pass’Ange Old Reserve Cognac, Alain Chadutaud

Alain Chadutaud
Aging for eighteen years in oak barrels has given this cognac a powerful yet delicate character, with powerful notes of cinnamon, hazelnut, rancio, and exotic wood. Round and delicate, it deserves to be enjoyed as a digestif.

Albermohn Red 2023

Einhart Estate

The intensity of a great Pinot Noir from Alsace, distinguished and delicious

With Albermohn 2023, Domaine Einhart offers us a more ambitious, deeper vision of Alsatian Pinot Noir. Coming from a remarkable plot, cultivated organically on a clay-limestone terroir, this red wine is vinified with extreme care, with a short but precise maceration, then aged slowly in tuns to preserve the purity of the fruit while gaining structure.

This 2023 already displays beautiful aromatic density and impressive length on the palate, while maintaining the fresh and elegant structure typical of the estate's reds. Albermohn is aimed at lovers of structured Pinots, but without excess oak or extraction: here, it's all about balance and harmony.

Elegance, substance and aromatic complexity

The intense ruby color suggests a wine of character. The nose is subtle yet profound, with aromas of ripe strawberry, stewed raspberry, a hint of pepper, and a lovely note of fresh almond that adds complexity. On the palate, the body is ample and velvety, with fine, melted tannins, supported by a beautiful acidity that lengthens the finish.

Albermohn is best enjoyed at 16-18°C, without the need for decanting, now or within the next 5 to 10 years. It will be at home with grilled meats, mushroom dishes, and characterful cuisine, but can also enhance an autumn barbecue or a beautiful piece of aged beef.

A great red wine from Alsace, sincere, precise, and promising a beautiful development.

Fleurie Red 2022,

Domaine Bélicard

Within the Fleurie AOP, an emblematic terroir of Beaujolais, Domaine Bélicard produces wines of great elegance, faithful to the expression of Gamay Noir. Certified organic (AB, Eurofeuille), this cuvée comes from 39-year-old vines planted on granite soils, providing both finesse and structure.

A powerful and structured Fleurie

Vinified according to Beaujolais tradition, with whole-bunch maceration, this wine benefits from 10 months of barrel aging, which refines its tannins and enriches its aromatic palette. This meticulous work gives the 2022 vintage a beautiful tannic structure, while respecting the purity of the fruit.

An expressive nose and a fleshy palate

On the nose, this organic Fleurie reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits, accompanied by a subtle woody touch. On the palate, the attack is ample, the tannins very present, bringing a beautiful body and a persistent finish. This balance between fruit and structure makes it a wine of character, made for aging.

Served at 14-16°C, this Fleurie AOP is ideal with grilled red meats, game birds or even roast veal. Its structure also allows it to be enjoyed as an aperitif, alongside fine charcuterie. With an aging potential of 5 years, it will gain in complexity and finesse over time.

Oolithe Blanc 2022

Domaine Einhart
Oolithe is a dry, organic (Ecocert) and natural maceration wine from the Alsace terroir, produced without additives or sulfites by Domaine Einhart. This blended wine in the Vin de France category is named in homage to its shell limestone soil (oolitic limestone).

Vinification
On the silty muschelkalk soil that produced Oolithe (plots located in Weingarten and Oberer Altenberg) grow the four grape varieties that compose it: Sylvaner (30%), Auxerrois (25%), Gewurztraminer (20%) and Pinot Blanc (25%), all from old massal selections. The average age of the vines is forty-five years. The harvest, entirely manual, is destemmed, before a maceration of a few days on indigenous yeasts. Aging on fine lees, in stainless steel vats, before bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives or sulfites.

Tasting
Pretty pale apricot color. Beautiful minerality on the nose, freshness and straightforwardness. The olfactory sensation is enhanced by aromas of fresh apple. The second nose opens more fully with elderflower, lily of the valley and citrus peel. On the palate, the attack is lively, fresh and mineral, leading to a spicy and persistent finish. Decanting is recommended so that Oolithe fully expresses all its floral grace. Pair it with oysters and seafood, fish in all its forms and white meats.

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. Jean-Marc Dreyer doesn't always blend grape varieties, but when he does, we take off our hats: through a fine and dense framework, beautiful notes of red fruits and spices emerge. 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.

Auxerrois Origin Blanc 2021

Jean-Marc Dreyer
Auxerrois, also known as Pinot Blanc, is a typically Alsatian grape variety that forms the basis of this Auxerrois Origin from Jean-Marc Dreyer. Floral, fresh, and seductive, it is both atypical and indulgent, well-defined by the maceration process, which gives it a distinguished texture. Its alcohol content is quite generous (14% alcohol). Whole-bunch maceration gives this dense and dry wine, with its delicious salinity, amber tones, floral notes, and sensations of perfect purity. Acorn-fed Ibérico ham would melt with joy alongside it. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range is dedicated to single-varietal wines made using skin-contact maceration based on the six white grape varieties of Alsace: Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Muscat. This wine is produced using the biodynamic method, fermented using indigenous yeasts, and is unfiltered and unclarified.

Riesling Origin Blanc 2021

Jean-Marc Dreyer
Green fruits, balanced acidity, elegance, complexity: plenty of structure and depth; Jean-Marc Dreyer's Riesling Origin is what we call a wine for meditation. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range is dedicated to single-varietal cuvées based on Alsatian varieties. Here, whole-bunch maceration exposes Riesling in a completely new light: ignoring the petrol notes (which are present, but politely wait until the finish to reveal themselves), the wine expresses a structured verticality balanced by a gentle roundness. Very mineral, but this time it's the soil you feel, not the diesel can. This wine was aged for eleven months in the Alsatian style, that is, in foudres and demi-muids. Taste pairings? Don't look, it goes with everything. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

Pastis du Zeppelin 44.8° - 70cl

Awen Nature Distillery

We first admire the magnificent label, and then we discover the bouquet. The nose of this certified organic pastis is fresh and aniseed, the palate is very fresh and delicately spiced. But pastis in Brittany? Of course. Besides, if you know how to make absinthe, you know how to make pastis, the latter being one of the spirits that replaced absinthe after it was banned in 1915. Pastis, since then, has become a product of Provence and especially Marseille, but nothing prevents the existence of a Breton pastis. This one gets its taste from a combination of thirteen distilled plants, always with a dominance of green anise and complex, spicy and herbaceous notes: fennel, star anise, angelica root, coriander, cinnamon, orange, iris, licorice, nutmeg, clove. The whole thing is very fresh, as befits a pastis. All that remains is to dilute it with fresh water.

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 devoted 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 recreate the taste of yesteryear, that of absinthes that were once given to children on a sugar cube 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.

Magnum Pinot Noir 2020

Domaine Einhart
A velvety, ripe red, 100% Pinot Noir, with an intense, fragrant, and gently fruity aroma. The deep, purplish color evokes black cherry. The initial nose is enhanced by aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry) with a hint of freshness blended into a light vanilla woodiness. The second nose is more open, with aromas of blood orange, bitter almond, and kirsch. On the palate, the berries are still present, supported by present but well-melted tannins, leading to a velvety finish resting on a lovely freshness. Plenty of persistence and length. The Pinot Noirs from which it is made, aged around thirty years, grow on the muschelkalk (shell limestone) terroirs of Dittelsberg-Albermohn and are harvested by hand, then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes between ten and twelve days. Aging for one year on fine lees, in demi-muids, precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives. Decanting is recommended so that it can fully express its finesse and grace.

The wines are pure grape, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of the very beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.

White Riesling 2020

Domaine Einhart
Riesling, the lord of Eastern grape varieties, finds here an expression worthy of its nobility. The color is a beautiful orange-yellow. The initial nose is very refined, slightly musky, with notes of grapefruit and dandelion. The second nose is fresher and mineral, with aromas of thyme, aromatic herbs, and flint. The palate begins with liveliness and beautiful verticality; the minerality is typical of limestone. Dried herbs return before a persistent finish with a remarkable salinity. Light skin maceration is successful in Riesling, and this one is no exception. The twenty-five-year-old vines grow on the muschelkalk (oolitic limestone) terroirs of Westerberg, Molsheimgass, and Fleckstein. The grapes are harvested by hand and then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes between four and eight days. Aging on fine lees is ten months in tuns, followed by bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives. Decanting is recommended so that it can spread its wings and express its mineral notes.

Gigondas Red 2022

Les Grandes Serres

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Nestled in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Gigondas terroir asserts itself with its quiet strength and raw beauty. Here, in this fiery enclave of the Southern Rhône Valley, the vines find refuge on steep, stony slopes, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the mistral wind. This poor and demanding soil, a mixture of marl and limestone, gives rise to grapes of rare intensity.
In this 2022 vintage, Les Grandes Serres presents a cuvée driven by a classic and remarkably effective duo: Grenache, the sun-drenched king of the south, which dominates the blend, and Syrah, which brings tension and depth. Together, they express the wild and sensual soul of this emblematic terroir.

Cultivation methods

True to a respectful approach to living things, Les Grandes Serres crafts this Gigondas using natural winemaking methods, without artifice, allowing the grapes to express themselves freely. The vines are cultivated in harmony with natural balances, without synthetic products, with meticulous care given to each vine. The harvest is done by hand, selecting grapes at perfect ripeness, guaranteeing healthy and concentrated raw materials. In the cellar, aging is carefully controlled with restraint, without masking the wine's personality, to preserve its original freshness and lusciousness.

Tasting & pairings

The 2022 Gigondas from Grandes Serres is a true explosion of pleasure. From the first sniff, it seduces with its intense aromas of ripe red fruits, crushed strawberry, juicy cherry, which mingle with notes of wild thyme, dark chocolate and a slightly smoky, almost meaty touch.
On the palate, it's a wave of generosity: ample, velvety, but never heavy. Natural freshness balances the richness of the fruit, and the finish lingers on melted tannins, with a touch of salinity that begs for another sip. A "bombshell of deliciousness," certainly, but also a wine of character, with depth and true elegance.

Ideal for accompanying a summer barbecue with friends, a beautiful platter of artisanal charcuterie, or a grilled piece of red meat, this Gigondas is both approachable and refined. Served slightly chilled, it will also surprise with its lightness despite its 15% alcohol content, proving that power can indeed be drinkable.

A sincere, vibrant wine that warmly and generously expresses its terroir.

Weingarten Blanc 2024

Domaine Einhart

Sous la houlette du Domaine Einhart, en Alsace, la cuvée Weingarten incarne la délicatesse d’un Sylvaner travaillé avec justesse sur un terroir d’argilo-calcaire. Vinifié en bio certifié, sans artifice œnologique, ce vin naturel blanc exprime une belle pureté de fruit, équilibrée par une trame fraîche et droite. Ici, le cépage le plus humble s’épanouit pleinement sur les sols les plus généreux.

La vinification repose sur une macération pré-fermentaire à froid (12 à 14 °C) durant 24 heures, favorisant l’expression aromatique sans extraire les composés tanniques indésirables. Le pressurage direct qui suit permet d’obtenir un jus clair et délicat, ensuite élevé en cuve inox pendant 10 mois, préservant toute la vivacité du vin. Le domaine mise sur une fermentation spontanée grâce aux levures indigènes, en respect total du raisin et de son écosystème.

À la dégustation, Weingarten 2024 dévoile une robe pâle aux reflets verts. Le nez est éclatant : fleurs blanches, notes herbacées et une pointe de fruits exotiques. En bouche, c’est l’élégance même : une matière ample mais toujours tenue par une fraîcheur verticale. Une légère amertume finale, bien maîtrisée, prolonge le plaisir et donne envie d’y revenir.

Idéal à l’apéritif, ce vin se prête aussi à des alliances plus audacieuses : cuisine thaï, plats épicés, fruits de mer ou volailles à chair tendre. Une cuvée expressive, polyvalente et sincère, à boire dès maintenant ou à oublier quelques années en cave.
