La Senda
La Bodega La Senda is the creation of Diego Losada, a native of Bierzo, a region in the northwest of the province of León, bordered to the north by Asturias and to the west by Galicia. Pilgrims traveling to Compostela via the Camino Francés or the Camino de Invierno can admire its magnificent landscapes, where ancient vineyards cover the hilltops. Viticulture dates back to Roman times, but the region was so traumatized by the phylloxera crisis that vines were not replanted until the mid-20th century, without massive uprooting, giving these vines an average age of forty to seventy years. Born in Ponferrada, in the northern Bierzo, Diego has never been one for compromise. Resolutely radical, with a passion for freedom and rigor, he first applied this disposition to music in the heavy metal band he formed with his high school friends. It was later to wine that he would devote this same passion, studying organic chemistry at university and learning the scientific aspects of viticulture. But the scientific rigidity and conventional methods he discovered on some of the estates where he worked did not satisfy him. Attracted to a viticulture closer to the land, Diego reclaimed a few plots to showcase the Bierzo terroir as naturally as possible. In 2012, he created the La Senda estate, whose name means "the path," on the outskirts of his hometown. His wines would be like him: honest, frank, natural, and expressive. Not awarded the designation of origin, they are the pure reflection of their soils and their climate, of the personality and energy of their creator.
This very pretty, dense, homogeneous and balanced red, with a beautiful dark color, is composed of Mencia (90%), a grape variety from the Trousseau, and 10% Doña Blanca and Palomino. Unfiltered and unsulfured, it comes from seventy to ninety-year-old vines grown in the north of Bierzo on a homogeneous plot with clay-limestone soils very rich in quartz, at an altitude of 550 meters. The grapes macerate for three to four days in old, unsealed chestnut vats; the wines are aged in French oak barrels for eleven months. This is a magnificent red typical of the earthy style of Bierzo: both dense and fresh, powerful and fruity (red and black fruits), crossed by a breath of smoke, violets and spices. Velvety and fleshy on the palate. For stews and black truffles... This is also an excellent bottle to introduce you to the La Senda style; it will be even more eloquent in a carafe.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Magnum Feu III Blanc 2019,

La Sorga
Anthony Tortul loves old vineyards: he devotes his life to finding and vinifying them. Just as there are landless shepherds, he can be defined as a landless winegrower, in other words, a wine merchant whose scope extends throughout Languedoc and, eastward, as far as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in search of the best terroirs. Born in Foix, with six years of experience as a viticultural technician and oenologist in various vineyards in the south of France, he founded La Sorga in 2008. His enthusiasm leads him on a path filled with love at first sight, and each of these loves is a vineyard. The result is a stunning mosaic of natural, lively, and spirited wines, reinvented each year with around thirty cuvées per vintage. Few winemakers can include such a variety of grape varieties: the entire south of France is included, with muscats, grenaches, picpoul, mauzac, carignan, cinsault, marsanne, alicante, braucol, duras, viognier, len-de-l’el, and all the rest. Two terroirs contributed to this very southern white wine: the Villafranchian limestone of Pézenas, in the Hérault valley, and the clay-limestone soils of Marseillan, on the Languedoc coast. The blend is composed of eighty percent Grenache Blanc (vines aged sixty years) and the rest Grenache Gris (vines aged twenty years). The two Grenaches are vinified separately in "dip" (maceration of berries or whole bunches in the must obtained by direct pressing), twenty days for the white Grenache and fifteen days for the gray Grenache. Aging is seven months in vats. With a nose of pear, slightly fennel, a hint of camphor, with the delicious notes of the infusion, we feel that this wine is made for grilled fish and seafood dishes from the Languedoc coast. The palate is full, round, very energetic, aromatic, also carried on white fruits.
Natural wine without added sulfites.

La Tour Sarazine Blanc 2021

Jean Yves Peron
La Tour Sarazine is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron, produced from a micro-plot of schist in his Albertville vineyard. Made from Muscat à Petit Grain, this macerated white is sometimes blended with Jacquère when the vintage is low-yielding.

Vinification
The La Tour Sarazine harvest is fermented using carbonic maceration for fifteen days. After pressing, it is aged for one year in 400-liter barrels. Unfiltered, unfined, no added sulfites.

Tasting
The Tour Sarazine has a very muscat profile – musky, floral, aromatic, exotic – reinforced by the mineral clarity of the Savoyard schist. For pairings, it’s a call to the imagination, between cheeses and cuisines from elsewhere: for the former, we recommend the ultra-creamy goudas from Maison Maris. To make the latter, don't hesitate to delve into the directory of spices from around the world collected by Épices Shira or in Cambodia by La Plantation.

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 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 slopes, his hand-worked mountain vines in micro-plots receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semi-carbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then transferred to two- or three-wine barrels for twelve months of aging on lees, before blending and resting in the vat. 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 from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.

La Grande Journee Blanc 2020,

Jean-Yves Péron


La Grande Journée is a magnificent "polyphonic" maceration white, a distinguished orange with a layered structure. It will be perfect for any occasion. This cuvée is produced entirely from Jean-Yves's terraced Altesse plot, on mica schist soils. The grapes are harvested at the peak of ripeness (towards the end of September, Altesse being an early-ripening grape variety). They then undergo two weeks of carbonic skin maceration and three months of punching down, until the end of alcoholic fermentation. After racking around the end of December or beginning of January, the wine is aged for at least a year in 300-liter barrels.

Jean-Yves Péron embodies the natural renaissance of the beautiful Savoyard vineyard, which has long suffered from a somewhat flimsy image, not taken seriously enough. Yet, what treasures its varied soils and numerous ancient grape varieties produce!
Near Conflans, in Albertville (Savoie), Jean-Yves Péron skillfully combines committed viticulture and merchant winemaking, both under the banner of nature and high-altitude organic vines. Initially destined for a career in biochemistry, he quickly became drawn to the vine and trained as an oenologist in Bordeaux. He learned his trade as a winemaker with Thierry Allemand in Cornas, then with Bruno Schueller in Alsace, before spending some time in New Zealand and the United States. Jean-Yves' current vineyard, one and a half hectares biodynamic since the beginning, is divided between Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, a little further down in the Isère Valley. Made up of micro-plots of vines, it is staggered between 350 m and 550 m above sea level and is worked entirely by hand. His trading activity, which he began in 2011, allows him to buy the harvest from organic winemakers close to his home (such as Raphaël Marin and Adrien Dacquin). Also, the construction of a new winery in 2017 allows him to increase production and collaborate with winemakers from Northern Italy: Paolo Angelino in Casale Monferrato (Turin), Giorgio Barbero in Asti. This is a new dimension given to his work as a winemaker, allowing him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging. Jean-Yves Péron's winemaking follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow and steep surfaces, his mountain vines receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. The surrounding vegetation is very rich: it protects the vines and helps to strengthen them. The soils are grassed, mown and reworked with a pickaxe and winch. The harvest is entirely manual. Once vatted in whole bunches, the grapes, both red and white, undergo a semi-carbonic maceration which allows the extraction of fresh fruit aromas. This maceration time varies between five days and nine weeks depending on the vintage. The day before or two days before pressing, Jean-Yves performs foot-treading directly in the vat. After this fermentation, the musts are sent to barrels for aging on lees for twelve months in five hundred liter barrels of two or three wines (to limit the oaky sensation), followed by blending and resting in vats. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.

Côtillon des Dames Magnum White 2022,

Jean-Yves Péron
Here in magnum format, Côtillon des Dames is a dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron, organic and natural, from Savoie. In Vin de France, it is one of this winemaker's flagship vintages, made from several grape varieties in order to precisely control the evolution of the juice for each vintage and balance the wine according to each variety.

Vinification
Jean-Yves Péron's Côtillon des Dames is made with a majority of Jacquère, harvested at peak maturity, with Altesse and Roussanne as complementary grape varieties. All these vines grow on different terroirs: schist and limestone, limestone scree in Fréterive, mica schist in Albertville. The grapes are vinified separately and blended approximately two months before bottling. Depending on the variety, the maceration will be carbonic or not and of different durations. The average punching down is two weeks to two months. The aging is one year in 300-liter barrels.

Tasting
Great finesse, further accentuated and polished by the magnum format, characterizes Côtillon des Dames. The wine is of great aromatic complexity, elegant and fruity, with a superb length on the palate. The winemaker has done everything to preserve the aroma and typicity of the Jacquère grape variety and the length and maturity of the Altesse-Roussanne duo.

Pierra Menta Blanc 2020

Jean Yves Peron
This is an exceptional dry white wine from Savoie made by Jean-Yves Péron. Produced organically, biodynamically, and from scratch on schist plots near Albertville, Pierra Menta is made from the Gringet grape variety. The winemaker plans to plant more vines of this ancient variety until he reaches half a hectare.

Vinification
Gringet, which makes up 100% of Pierra Menta, is a white grape variety native to Haute-Savoie, historically linked to the commune of Ayse, near Bonneville. Jean-Yves Péron's vines are planted near Albertville, on a south-facing mica-schist plot. Gringet has long been confined to the Bonneville region and traditionally produces low-alcohol, high-yield sparkling wines. It's an interesting grape variety that produces fruity, low-alcohol wines with quince notes and strong minerality. Pierra Menta's gringets are macerated for 15 days in carbonic acid with punching down, and aged for one year in new 300-liter barrels, some new and the rest from two wines.

Tasting
The quince is felt from the start, and the minerality superbly supports this note. White fruits, florality, lots of structure, and beautiful acidity. Incredible length, too... "One of the most beautiful wines I've made this year," says Jean-Yves. We thank him for this and move on to the food and wine pairings: fish, seafood, oysters, or the delicious spreads from Olio di Serra. Not forgetting the hummus and baba ghanouj from Terroirs du Liban.

Vin de Lies Blanc 2019/20

Jean Yves Peron
Vin de Lies is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine that Jean-Yves Péron makes every two vintages in his Savoyard cellars. It is based on a viticultural practice that is little known outside the profession, but which produces a highly appreciated wine. It is not normally sold commercially but reserved for the cellar team. Classified as a Vin de France, it is therefore a treat bestowed upon us by the winemaker.

Vinification
The Vin de Lies method consists of, after racking the barrels or aging vats, collecting all the lees in a single vat. These lees are suspended in a small quantity of wine, which is decanted again and collected once or twice. Nourished by the lees, the red obtained in this way is smoother, softer, and the white is less tense, rounder. To create this vintage, Jean-Yves Péron combined the lees from all his 2019 whites and some of those from 2020 (thus bringing together all his terroirs, both Savoyard and Italian). The grape varieties include Jacquère, Muscat, Altesse, Mondeuse, Favorita (Vermentino), Muscat à Petit Grain, Roussanne…

Tasting
This is the true “house cuvée,” generally very popular. “It’s a wine for pleasure,” says Jean-Yves Péron. “It can be drunk anytime, from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.!” "We can predict this moment of grace for next winter, which is upon us as this vintage is released. Pairings: it goes with everything. Beautifulpoultry, fine fish, seafood and shellfish…

Cotillon des Dames Blanc 2020,

Jean-Yves Péron
Côtillon des Dames 2020 is a very refined, fruity wine to be savored. It is a white wine of great aromatic complexity, elegant and fruity, with a superb length on the palate. The winemaker has done everything possible to preserve the aroma and character of the Jacquère grape variety, present in the majority here, and the length and maturity of the Altesse and Roussanne. This is one of Jean-Yves Péron's flagship cuvées. For this vintage, the wine is therefore made from 50 to 60% Jacquère, with Altesse and Roussanne as complementary grape varieties. All these vines grow on different terroirs: schist and limestone, limestone scree in Fréterie, mica schist in Albertville. The grapes are vinified separately and blended approximately two months before bottling. The idea is to be able to precisely control the evolution of the juice and balance the wine according to the behavior of each grape variety. The Jacquères are harvested very ripe and macerated for two to three months with punching down. The Altesses and Roussannes macerate for two to three weeks in carbonic fermentation with some punching down. Aging is one year in 300-liter barrels.

i Vicini Pinot Nero Red 2018,

Jean-Yves Peron

Jean-Yves Péron, an iconic figure in Savoie's natural wine scene, is expanding his horizons with his I Vicini range, made from organic grapes carefully selected in Northern Italy and expertly vinified in Savoie. This cuvée Pinot Nero Rouge 2018, 100% Pinot Noir, captures the essence of the Burgundy grape variety while adding a surprising and characterful Alpine touch.

A Pinot Noir between Piedmont and Savoie

Made from organic grapes harvested by hand in the heart of Piedmont, Italy, this wine is then vinified with the same rigor as the estate's other cuvées. A semi-carbonic maceration of whole bunches extracts finesse and freshness, while aging on lees for twelve months in old barrels refines its texture. Unfined or filtered, with minimal intervention, this Pinot Noir expresses exceptional purity.

Tasting: finesse and drinkability

The color is light and bright, heralding an airy wine. On the nose, aromas of small red fruits—cherry, raspberry, redcurrant—intertwine with floral and slightly spicy touches. On the palate, the attack is delicate, with fine tannins and a refreshing acidity that draws the wine towards a savory and persistent finish. A perfect balance between elegance and indulgence.

Food Pairings and Service

Ideal around 16-18°C, it pairs well with white meats, roast poultry, or mushroom risotto. Its remarkable drinkability also makes it an excellent companion for aperitifs with friends. With an aging potential of 5 to 10 years, this natural wine will evolve gracefully while retaining its liveliness.

Feel Good Savagnin Qvevris Blanc 2020,

Frédéric Cossard


The particular energy of Savagnin, a typical white grape variety from the Jura, is expressed through this Feel Good from the Qvevris series, beautifully taut and aromatic. By combining fifty-year-old vines grown on a Jurassic marl plot in Rotalier (Jura), direct pressing and ten months of ageing in qvevri (a buried Georgian-style terracotta jar, which deepens and smooths the wines), we obtain this Feel Good Savagnin, a sublime and complex expression of this wonderful grape variety, with a slight bite, freshness, tension and plenty of spice. Note: since the name of the grape variety cannot be mentioned on the label if the grapes are vinified outside the Jura region, Frédéric Cossard has substituted “Feel Good” because “savagnin is fine”.
To find out more
Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undistorted by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful wine-growing practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice which are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for a time as a wine broker before creating the Chassorney estate with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne-Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine merchant company and purchased organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais vintages. The practice is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura, Languedoc and elsewhere. At his place, the work of the soil and the vines is done as naturally as possible: regular plowing by horse, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to the principles of biodynamics: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Red or white, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.
