Morgon Terrain, Red 2022
Domaine Bélicard
Terrain Rouge is where the tradition of a great Beaujolais terroir meets the freedom of natural wine. In the Morgon appellation, one of the region's most renowned, Domaine Bélicard presents a 100% Gamay noir cuvée from organic farming, vinified without inputs, which reveals the full depth of the region's volcanic soils.
A unique terroir, precise winemaking
The vines are planted on rare basalt soils, offering a unique structure and minerality to the grapes. The clusters are hand-harvested, then undergo whole-bunch maceration according to the traditional Beaujolais method, without destemming. Fermentation occurs naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts, with no added oenological products. Five months of aging in stainless steel tanks preserves the frankness of the fruit and the wine's mineral tension.
A clear expression of Gamay
The color is brilliant ruby red. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of fresh red fruits (cherry, raspberry), with a floral hint. On the palate, it's juicy, straightforward, with a beautiful liveliness. The texture is fluid yet structured, with a precise finish, marked by the energy of the basalt. A Morgon that is both serious and free, true to its soil yet emancipated from standards.
To enjoy now or to keep
Serve between 14 and 16 °C, without decanting, with simple and honest dishes: artisanal charcuterie, roasted poultry, grilled vegetables. Terrain Rouge can be enjoyed now but will evolve harmoniously over 5 years.
Unicorn Toad, Red 2024
Danis dans la vigne
Behind this playful name lies a seriously inspired cuvée: Crapaud Licorne (Unicorn Toad) is the free and natural vision of a modern Cahors, full of brilliance and sincerity. Produced by "Danis dans la vigne," a committed artisan winemaker, this 100% Malbec challenges the norms of an appellation often associated with power. Here, the focus is on finesse, fruit vibrancy, and freedom of expression.
A pure Malbec, precise winemaking
The grapes come from clay-limestone soils typical of the Lot region, cultivated according to organic farming principles (AB certified). After a gentle two-week maceration, fermentation occurs naturally, without oenological inputs or added yeasts. Nine months of aging in stainless steel tanks preserves all the freshness and energy of the grape, resulting in a lively, digestible, and deeply sincere wine.
An elegant and distinctive profile
Upon tasting, Crapaud Licorne reveals a dark color with purplish reflections. The nose opens with aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), pepper, and subtly herbaceous notes. On the palate, the texture is fine, almost silky, with beautiful ripeness and a fresh, spicy finish. The tannins are present but delicate, perfectly balancing the fruit's richness.
A companion for fine dining
Decanted one hour before serving, between 14 and 16°C, this wine brilliantly accompanies stews, grilled meats, or artisanal charcuterie. It can also age for 5 to 10 years in the cellar, gaining complexity while retaining its free spirit.
La Grande Chaude, Blanc 2023
Philippe Chatillon
With La Grande Chaude 2023, Philippe Chatillon delivers an artisanal cuvée where Chardonnay, the noble grape of the Jura, finds a chiseled and deeply mineral expression. This organically certified cuvée, classified as AOC Côtes du Jura, comes from a rare and complex terroir: red Lias marls enriched with a dolomite bank – a soft limestone rock – which structures the top of the plot. This unique composition, located in Passenans, gives the wine a natural tension and great aromatic precision.
The 60-year-old vines yield concentrated fruit, which Philippe Chatillon vinifies by direct pressing, without artifice, before two years of aging in old barrels, where the wine slowly builds itself, sheltered from new wood, in a pure logic of respect for life.
The nose opens elegantly with zesty citrus, white flowers, discreet brioche notes, all carried by a prominent chalky minerality. On the palate, the texture is straight, taut, precise, almost saline, with a length that leaves a striking sensation of purity. It is a gastronomic white wine, intense but never heavy, combining the freshness of the Jura with the depth of great Chardonnay.
At the table, La Grande Chaude will enhance grilled fish, creamy poultry, or mushroom risotto. Decant it to allow it time to breathe, serve it between 10 and 12°C, and it can evolve over 5 years.
A great terroir wine, sensitive, lively, which reveals all of Philippe Chatillon's talent in the fine and luminous interpretation of his Jura soils.
Alsace Blanc 2024
Domaine Einhart
Domaine Einhart, a long-time organic farming advocate, presents a white wine that captures all the freshness and lusciousness of great Alsace whites, without ever sacrificing their finesse. This 2024 vintage, just bottled, is the result of a classic regional blend: predominantly Auxerrois, with Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. An Alsatian quartet vinified by direct pressing, without embellishments or over-extraction, and aged for 7 months in large oak casks on fine lees to preserve the wine's aromatic purity and tension.
The clay-limestone soil, typical of the Alsace plain, gives this wine both roundness and verticality. No oenological inputs, exclusively native yeasts, and a vinification that respects natural balances: a lively, expressive, and absolutely digestible white.
Floral vivacity and ripe fruit lusciousness
From the moment it's served, the pale, brilliant color hints at the wine's freshness. The nose is very aromatic, dominated by yellow lemon, delicate floral notes (linden, jasmine), and a touch of very ripe exotic fruit (lychee, fresh mango). On the palate, it's an explosion of freshness: a lively attack, a supple mid-palate thanks to the Auxerrois, and a taut finish driven by the Riesling's character. The balance is perfectly mastered.
To be enjoyed now, at 10-12°C, with shellfish, fish cooked with citrus, or even pressed cheeses. A wine for immediate pleasure, to be drunk within the next two years.
Cathédrale Rouge 2020
Danis dans la Vigne
A monumental cuvée, balancing verticality and finesse
With Cathédrale 2020, Danis dans la vigne has created a powerful, complex, and meditative wine, reflecting its evocative name. This exceptional cuvée blends Malbec and Cabernet Franc, two noble grape varieties from the Southwest, grown in clay-limestone soil cultivated organically. A natural, lively wine, free of oenological additives, that embraces the long haul: 3 years of aging in barrels, topped up only once a year, in a deliberate oxidative approach, followed by a year of rest in stainless steel tanks, then a year of refinement in the bottle.
A rare and demanding process that gives birth to a wine with a deep aromatic profile, a silky texture, and remarkable complexity, capable of gracefully enduring through the years.
A noble, ample, patinated wine
From the first glance, the dark robe with garnet reflections announces the wine's richness. The nose opens with stewed black and red fruits, evolving into notes of toasted almond, cocoa, sweet spices, and undergrowth. On the palate, the texture is dense, velvety, but never heavy. The Cabernet Franc brings a welcome freshness that balances the power of the Malbec. The long and harmonious finish reveals a saline and slightly smoky touch.
Cathédrale 2020 is a gastronomic cuvée par excellence, designed for ambitious pairings: red meats, feathered game, truffle dishes, or even certain aged cheeses. Serve between 16 and 18°C, with no need for decanting. This wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for 10 years or more.

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.
Pinot Noir Red 2021
Domaine Einhart
The deep, purplish color of this Pinot Noir from Domaine Einhart evokes black cherry: this is a velvety, ripe red, 100% Pinot Noir from the estate, with an intense, fragrant, and gently fruity aroma. The first 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 small fruits are still present, supported by present but well-melted tannins, and lead 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, on indigenous yeasts, takes between ten and twelve days. Aging for one year on fine lees, in demi-muids, precedes bottling without filtration. From the vineyard to the cellar, this wine was made without any chemical additives or added sulfites. Decanting is recommended so that it fully expresses all its finesse and grace. The magnum format is only good for it, accentuating its velvety texture and depth.
To find out more
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 inputs, refusing harmful phytosanitary products, and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic since 2011. Like Jean-Marc Dreyer [link], 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 pure grapes, lively, powerful, and tonic, and transcribe the minerality of the very beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.
Muscanna Blanc 2021
Domaine Einhart
The magnum format will amplify the richness of its aromas and the smooth tannins of this Muscanna, whose color is a beautiful orange-amber, with superb brightness. The initial nose offers the rich aromas typical of overripe Muscat berries, slightly smoky. A second, very refined nose brings a hint of citrus that invites tasting. On the palate, the attack is very straightforward and ample, accompanied by a smooth acidity expressed through notes of candied quince. The finish is invigorating, with smooth tannins linked to maceration. Magnificently complex, this dry white is Domaine Einhart's homage to the Muscat grape variety, as the name of the cuvée indicates. Muscanna is indeed a 100% Alsace Muscat, grown on the estate and harvested by hand when overripe. The vines are around 25 years old and grow on the splendid oolitic limestone (muschelkalk) terroirs in the Fleckenstein, Westerberg, and Meyen areas. The harvest is destemmed, maceration in vats lasts four to six days, and fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees and is unfiltered at bottling. We recommend decanting Muscanna to help it develop its splendid aromas.

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.
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.
Retour de Milan, White 2023
Fond Cyprès
With Retour de Milan, Fond Cyprès unveils a brilliant and unprecedented interpretation of Muscat Petit Grain, vinified as a macerated white. This organic orange wine from Languedoc, as elegant as it is expressive, breaks new ground to offer a unique, fresh, and gourmet sensory experience.
A subtle maceration
Here, whole Muscat grapes are macerated for a few days to provide texture and complexity without losing the delicacy of the varietal. Fermentation is spontaneous, using indigenous yeasts, without oenological additives, followed by 5 months of aging in concrete egg, which promotes the wine's natural movement and gentle contact with the lees. The result: a lively, textured juice, yet with exemplary freshness.
A luminous and aromatic orange wine
The nose is vibrant, with notes of bergamot, citrus zest, orange blossom, and fresh lychee. On the palate, the wine balances tension and sweetness, with very fine tannins and a delicately bitter finish that prolongs the pleasure. It is a digestible, chiseled orange wine, both floral and citrusy.
Bold pairings, immediate pleasure
Serve between 10 and 12 °C, without decanting. This wine pairs ideally with Asian cuisines (mild spices, Thai curry, sashimi), aged cheeses (blue cheese, long-aged tommes) or even a lightly sweetened fruit dessert. It can age in the cellar for 5 to 10 years.
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.
Amphore Rouge, 2023
Philippe Chatillon
With Amphore 2023, Philippe Chatillon delivers a rare and unique red cuvée, blending the typicality of the Jura with an ancestral aging method. This certified organic natural wine, classified as Vin de France, comes from a subtle blend of Pinot Noir and Trousseau, two emblematic grape varieties of the Jura, grown on clay-limestone soils and vinified with a spirit of purity and respect for the fruit.
After a short one-week maceration, the wine is aged for two years in amphorae (qvevris), these terracotta jars traditionally used in Georgia. This aging choice allows for slow and natural oxygenation, without the transfer of woody aromas, thus preserving the frankness of the fruit, the floral delicacy, and the complexity of the wine.
On the nose, Amphore 2023 immediately captivates: crisp red fruits, violet, a fresh herbaceous note, and a slightly earthy touch that recalls the very material of the amphora. On the palate, it is a light, fluid, yet structured wine, with a natural tension and a beautiful aromatic persistence. The balance between the finesse of Pinot Noir and the vitality of Trousseau is remarkable, supported by an aging process that acts as a revealer rather than a disguise.
At the table, this vibrant red will accompany grilled red meats, root vegetable dishes, or fine charcuterie. It will express itself fully at around 12 to 14°C, after decanting, and can be kept for 5 to 10 years.
With this cuvée, Philippe Chatillon creates an author's red wine, free and inspired, where the terroir of the Jura meets the millennial wisdom of amphora winemaking.
Le Sage Vagnin, White 2023
Philippe Chatillon
Le Sage Vagnin 2023 is a precious, exclusive, and wise vintage. Only 800 bottles are produced each year, all from a small walled vineyard (clos) planted with 65-year-old Savagnin vines, deeply rooted in the grey Jurassic marl. This rarity is the result of the precise and inspired work of Philippe Chatillon, a winemaker sensitive to living things, whose estate is certified organic and located in Arbois, the birthplace of the grape variety.
Vinified with direct pressing and then aged for two years in old barrels, this AOC Arbois white wine stands out for its aromatic purity and balanced roundness. No new wood, no additives: just the grapes, time, and the winemaker's care. The result is a nuanced Savagnin, with a mineral roundness, between tension and sweetness.
The nose is both expressive and delicate: fresh citrus, white peach, acacia blossom, with a subtle mineral touch. On the palate, the texture is round yet taut, with a beautiful length, an elegant saline sensation, and a fresh, floral finish. The wine avoids any heaviness, playing on the perfect balance between the natural richness of the grape variety and the finesse of the terroir.
Le Sage Vagnin will gracefully accompany seafood, aged cheeses like Comté or Bleu de Gex, but also more spicy, oriental, or vegetarian cuisine. Serve between 10 and 12°C, with light decanting, and enjoy now or keep for up to 5 years.
A rare wine, for lovers of finesse and Jura's unique character.
Puits Saint Pierre, White 2023
Philippe Chatillon
The Puits Saint Pierre 2023 cuvée by Philippe Chatillon is a magnificent tribute to Savagnin, the iconic grape variety of the Jura, meticulously crafted with remarkable precision. Sourced from the estate's finest parcel, planted on typical Côtes du Jura marl soils, this natural white wine, certified organic, embodies Jura tradition while asserting a pure, clean, and vibrant style.
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness then pressed directly, without maceration, to preserve freshness and varietal expression. The wine is then aged for two years in old barrels, without oenological intervention or new wood, allowing for subtle micro-oxygenation that refines the structure and develops aromatic complexity.
On the nose, it's a festival of sensations: dried apricot, delicate honey, a hint of brioche, alpine herbs, and a chalky minerality that hints at the tension on the palate. The palate is direct, dry, taut, with superb acidity that carries the flavors to a long, saline finish. The balance between the subtle richness of the aging and the natural straightforwardness of the grape makes it an excellent gastronomic wine.
Puits Saint Pierre pairs ideally with iodized seafood, aged Comté cheese, or spicy dishes with oriental flavors. Decanting is recommended for it to fully open up. It can be enjoyed now for its purity or aged 5 to 10 years to gain complexity. Serve chilled, between 10 and 12°C.
Philippe Chatillon delivers a deep and sincere wine, both rooted in its terroir and of rare elegance.
Covenant Red 2020
Danis dans la Vigne
An exceptional Malbec, matured in the silence of the cellar
Covenant 2020 embodies the philosophy of long-term patience. A truly unique cuvée by Danis dans la Vigne, crafted with rare precision. This 100% Malbec, organically grown on the clay-limestone soils of deep Cahors, is naturally vinified without unnecessary oenological intervention, with a short maceration, then aged for three years in barrels, topped up only once a year. This demanding, bold method allows the wine to concentrate, oxidize slowly, and round out in a near-oxidative dynamic, before a year in stainless steel tanks, then a year of rest in the bottle.
A mature, complex, accomplished wine that contrasts with the sometimes raw image of Malbec. Covenant lives up to its name: a true pact between time, matter, and the winemaker's craft.
Deep, enveloping, meditative
Upon serving, the wine reveals a dark color with deep garnet reflections. The nose is captivating: bitter cocoa, sweet spices, stewed black fruit, truffle, almost a hint of leather. On the palate, it's a unique experience. The texture is velvety, full-bodied, yet perfectly balanced. The length is remarkable, persistent, with a saline finish. One senses a wine in full maturity, ready to be enjoyed, but also built for aging.
Covenant 2020 is perfect for noble red meats, game, a truffle dish, or even a dark chocolate dessert for the most adventurous. Serve at 16-18°C, without decanting, in a large glass that allows it time to breathe.
Antenet Cahors Rouge 1998
Danis dans la Vigne
A cellar gem, between family heritage and the depth of time
Here is a rare, almost confidential wine, which tells a story even before it is opened. Antenet 1998 is a unique cuvée, vinified more than twenty-five years ago by Danis's father, the current winemaker of the Danis dans la Vigne estate. This Cahors from another era, made from 100% Malbec, was crafted with respect for tradition and with a philosophy already very close to natural winemaking: short maceration, aging in concrete vats for two years, no oenological "makeup."
The typical clay-limestone soil of the Cahors vineyard produces an excellent keeping wine, with tannins polished by time and incredibly rich aromatics. At only 12% alcohol, it defies modern standards with its balance, freshness, and exceptional longevity.
A deep, aged, memory-filled wine
After more than two decades of rest, Antenet 1998 reveals a brick-red garnet color, with brown reflections. The complex and captivating nose unveils aromas of stewed black fruits, prune, blond tobacco, with a hint of undergrowth. On the palate, the texture is melted, ample, with a rare smoothness. This wine evokes a bygone era, yet remains strikingly delicious, perfect with roasted meats, game, or a dish rich in umami.
Served at 16-18°C, with no need for decanting, this wine is ready to be enjoyed. It is a liquid archive, a family treasure, to be discovered like reading a letter from the past.
Lutea Gentian Liqueur
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Nestled in the heart of the volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region, Lutéa Spirits draws its inspiration from the wild hills and high-altitude meadows of this authentic area. It is here, on these living, nourishing soils, that the fresh yellow gentian, queen of bitter plants, flourishes. Hand-picked with respect for the plant's natural rhythm, this powerful root embodies the botanical and mountain identity of Lutéa liqueur, a true tribute to a preserved and untamed terroir.
Cultivation methods
True to its artisanal and committed vision, Lutéa Spirits works exclusively with certified organic ingredients. Every step, from cultivation to maceration, is designed to reveal the purity of the plants, without artifice or compromise. The gentian roots are freshly harvested and then carefully infused alongside other meticulously selected botanicals: basil, mint, licorice, anise... so many botanical touches that enrich the aromatic profile. No coloring, no superfluous additives: here, nature expresses itself in its purest form.
Tasting & pairings
Lutéa Gentian Liqueur 2024 is an ode to vegetal freshness. From the first whiff, it unfolds captivating aromas of raw gentian, crisp basil, and invigorating mint, enhanced by bursts of bright citrus and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: the gentle bitterness of gentian intertwines with anise and lemon notes, in a warm and lingering roundness.
As an aperitif, it can be enjoyed chilled, neat, or lengthened with a splash of sparkling water or dry tonic to reveal its complexity and vivacity. It also pairs brilliantly with a platter of mountain cheeses, black olives, or even a citrus and fresh herb dessert. Warm, intense, yet always elegant, this organic liqueur captivates with its aromatic purity and wild touch.
