Yoga Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
It is in the heart of the Rhône Valley, on a terroir freely interpreted under the "Vin de France" label, that Justine Vigne crafts Yoga 2021. A 100% Syrah cuvée, cultivated with passion on sun-drenched soils, where the vines draw their strength from the rock and time. This choice of a free appellation allows the winemaker to express, without constraint, the full richness of her grapes, remaining true to the identity of her vineyard and her artisanal vision of winemaking.
Cultivation methods
At Justine Vigne, the vines are cultivated with the utmost respect for life. Using certified organic farming methods, each vine is tended by hand, with a gentle and intuitive approach. The harvest is exclusively manual, selecting only the finest grapes at perfect ripeness. Fermentation occurs naturally, thanks to the indigenous yeasts present on the berries, without the addition of sulfites, fining, or filtration: a radically pure approach that allows the fruit and the vintage to speak for themselves. Yoga is a living, authentic wine that reflects, without artifice, the work in the soil and the soul of the place.
Tasting & pairings
Dense and structured, Yoga 2021 presents a deep, velvety robe. From the first sniff, the wine seduces with enveloping aromas of ripe black fruits – blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant – followed by a touch of toasted almond and subtle roasted notes reminiscent of cocoa or coffee. On the palate, the attack is ample, the texture generous, supported by smooth tannins and a beautiful tension that balances the richness of the fruit. The finish, persistent and warm, leaves an impression of harmony and fullness.
This characterful red wine pairs beautifully with regional cuisine: beef stew with olives, roast leg of lamb, mushroom gratin, or a selection of mature cheeses. For those with more patience, a few years of cellaring will allow it to gain complexity and depth. Yoga is a wine that is both grounded and vibrant, inviting you to disconnect and enjoy yourself, in a perfect balance between power and elegance.
Ultreia Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
In the heart of the Rhône Valley, in an area untouched by conventional classifications, Justine Vigne is forging her own path. Labeled "Vin de France," but bearing a strong identity, Ultreia Rouge 2021 tells the story of a terroir shaped by sun, stone, and the spirit of the land. The grapes come from carefully selected plots, where Grenache and Cinsault, both derived from biodynamically cultivated Syrah vines, find their natural balance. This unique blend gives Ultreia its distinctive character, a harmonious blend of generous fruit and vibrant energy.
Cultivation methods
Justine Vigne cultivates much more than just vines: she embodies a philosophy. Every action in the vineyard is deliberate, respectful, and in harmony with the lunar cycles and the energies of life. Organic certification (AB) is just the starting point: her plots thrive biodynamically, without synthetic products, using homemade compost and plant infusions. This artisanal, patient, and sincere approach is reflected in every drop of wine, like a subtle echo of the slow pace of pilgrims.
Tasting & pairings
Ultreia Rouge 2021 opens like a whispered promise: a deep, almost velvety red robe already hints at the generosity of the fruit. The nose is a stroll through the hills: ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, black fig, enhanced by notes of garrigue, sweet spices, and a touch of toasted almond. A saline minerality aerates the whole, like a breath on the skin.
On the palate, the magic happens. The tannins are fine, silky, almost caressing. The wine glides smoothly, juicy, easy to drink, carried by a mouthwatering freshness that invites a second glass. Here, you find all of Justine's sincerity, her desire to let the land speak for itself, without artifice.
Ultreia is a wine for sharing, for a table set under the stars, for laughter around grilled meats, plates of charcuterie, for moments where life is enjoyed without haste.
"Ultreia," the pilgrims used to say: beyond, ever further. This wine is an encouragement to continue, to marvel, to celebrate what unites us. A handcrafted, poetic, and joyfully human vintage.
Amagalmay Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
From the vibrant soils of Burgundy, Domaine Athénaïs' "Amagalmay" 2021 is a cuvée as original as it is expressive, born from the unique union of two grape varieties: Gamay, the emblematic red wine of indulgence, and Aligoté, usually white, here vinified to enrich the whole with a beautiful freshness. Classified as a Vin de France, this free and creative wine plays with conventions to offer a spontaneous and sincere interpretation of the Burgundian terroir. The result is a wine of pleasure, at once fruity, slightly tannic, and delightfully approachable.
Cultivation methods
Domaine Athénaïs is guided by a philosophy of craftsmanship and respect for all living things. Certified organic, the vineyard is cultivated with care, using a gentle and natural approach. The soils are plowed with care, treatments are limited to products of natural origin, and each vine is nurtured throughout its growth cycle without ever being forced. In the cellar, vinification in stainless steel tanks enhances the freshness and crispness of the fruit, without artifice, to deliver a pure, joyful, and authentic wine.
Tasting & pairings
"Amagalmay" 2021 charms from the first sip with its pure aromas of juicy cherry and vibrant raspberry, enhanced by a delicate touch of sweet spice. On the palate, the texture is supple, the tannins well-integrated, with a lovely vivacity that prolongs the pleasure. This is a wine for friends, for impromptu aperitifs, for casual dinners. It pairs wonderfully with everyday dishes: savory tarts, composed salads, homemade gratins, rustic pizza, or even a roast chicken with herbs. Slightly chilled, it becomes even more digestible and easy-drinking.
Delicious, natural, and convivial, "Amagalmay" is an invitation to joyful simplicity, the kind that comes from good times shared around an unpretentious yet charming bottle. A vintage that proudly upholds the values of a living, organic, and Burgundian wine.
Les Dorrées White 2020
Les Dorrées (the name of the plot) is a dry white wine from the Coteaux du Loir, organic and natural (Ecocert), classified Vin de France. Its creator, Renaud Guettier of La Grapperie, made it entirely from Chenin. Depending on the vintage, it may or may not offer slightly overripe notes.
Vinification
Les Dorrées comes from the oldest Chenin Blanc vines on the estate (117 years old), planted on soils dominated by clay and flint over a limestone substrate. Hand-picked, organic and additive-free work in the vineyard and cellar, and aged for 24 months to refine and polish the wine.
Tasting
Les Dorrées is an exceptional white wine that bears the signature of La Grapperie Chenins: pure and enchanting, offering slightly oxidative, smoky, and mineral notes on the nose, and white fruits, quince, walnuts, and almonds on the palate with a saline finish of impressive length. It is a white wine with body and density, capable of supporting all taste pairings. We see it pairing well with a beautiful roast poultry, a rack of oven-roasted pork, or grilled lamb. It will also pair well with seafood: smoked salmon, oysters and shellfish, or goat cheese and rillettes from the Loire Valley.
Learn more about Renaud Guettier and La Grapperie
In the Coteaux du Loir appellation, La Grapperie is the name of the estate of Renaud Guettier, who can be described as a master of Chenin, but also of Pineau d'Aunis, which is one of the oldest grape varieties in the Loire Valley.
The estate
Renaud's 60 hectares of vines, on the hillside, are protected from the north winds by the Bercé forest. Depending on the altitude, the terroirs are predominantly clay, flint or sand. The grape varieties are the two traditionally authorized in the appellation: Chenin for the whites and Pineau d'Aunis for 90% of the reds, the rest consisting of a few ares of Côt, Gamay and Grolleau. Some vines are more than a hundred years old.
In the vineyard and the winery
The entire estate is cultivated organically. The soils are worked and all viticultural interventions are manual, including the harvest, carried out at full maturity, which is reflected in the fullness and smoothness of the wines. For the reds, the Pineau d'Aunis is partially destemmed (depending on the plot) and the macerations are quite long, three to four weeks, with punching down, to promote aging potential. The wines are aged in barrels for between twelve and twenty-four months, then racked, blended and bottled without filtration. For the whites, the Chenins are pressed directly at low pressure then put into barrels with complete malolactic fermentation, for at least eighteen months, malolactic included, and sometimes up to thirty-six months.
Le Serret 1826 Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
In the sun-drenched heart of the Southern Rhône Valley, where the rounded pebbles hold the memory of warm days and cool nights, Le Serret 1826 is born , a red wine with a name steeped in emotion and history. Behind this 100% Carignan cuvée lies much more than a simple vintage: a vibrant tribute to the family roots of Justine Vigne, a passionate winemaker who has crafted a profound, deeply rooted, and sincere wine. The name “1826” evokes the year the Vigne family settled in Richerenches , while “Le Serret” designates the very first plot of the estate, planted in 1955 by Justine’s grandfather, as an act of faith in the land and in time.
This Carignan, an often-overlooked grape variety, regains its full nobility here, magnified by a sunny and windy terroir, conducive to a pure and structured expression. The soil, nourished by history and silence, allows the fruit to speak with intensity.
Cultivation methods
True to an artisanal approach and respect for all living things, Justine Vigne cultivates her vines organically , with meticulous attention to every detail. Soil work is gentle, interventions measured, allowing the vines to express themselves freely. In the vineyard as in the cellar, the philosophy is clear: do not rush anything, work with the natural elements, preserve their identity. The winemaking, precise and unadorned, aims for accuracy, sincerity, and the inner light of the fruit. Thus, Le Serret 1826 stands as an ode to patience and fidelity to its origins.
Tasting & pairings
From the moment it's opened, Le Serret 1826 – vintage 2021 – unfolds a dense and captivating nose: patinated leather , ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, and a spicy undertone reminiscent of garrigue after the rain. On the palate, the wine asserts its structure , without heaviness, with a mouthwatering freshness that lengthens the finish and invites indulgence. The wine is clean, taut, and precise, revealing a rare balance between intensity and elegance.
This wine calls for generous and characterful dishes: grilled meats , artisanal charcuterie , mature cheeses , and juicy red meats . It pairs wonderfully with a wood-fired ribeye steak or a plate of well-aged tomme cheese, revealing all its nuances in dialogue with the dish.
With Le Serret 1826 , Justine Vigne delivers a wine of memory and conviction, a wine of lineage and place, which touches the heart with its sincerity as much as its mastery. A bottle that doesn't just tell a story: it brings it to life, sip after sip.
Ti'Blanc Blanc 2021,
Paul Estève
It's good, it's white, it's aromatic, it's light, it's fresh, and it's easy to drink, to say the least. The color is distinct, tending toward orange, due to a brief maceration of one of the grape varieties. Ti'blanc stands out as an ampelographic synthesis of the Domaine des Miquettes for the simple reason that it brings together all of its white grape varieties. 2021 was, in fact, a very rainy vintage with a heavy harvest: the resulting wines had low alcohol content. Chrystelle and Paul therefore gathered all their Viogniers, Marsannes, and Chasselas and made Ti'blanc instead of making their usual cuvées. It is therefore a unique wine, exclusive to this vintage. Only the Chasselas is macerated for two days, which gives it a distinct orange color and a certain structure. The Viogniers and Chasselas were pressed directly. Ti’blanc has a low alcohol content (10.5°) but a nice acidity; it will therefore keep a little, but we recommend enjoying it young.
To find out more
Paul Estève and Chrystelle Vareille are the creators of the Domaine des Miquettes, whose great specificity is the use of Georgian techniques. They are passionate about this country in the Caucasus, the cradle of wine, where eight-thousand-year-old winemaking techniques are still used. At the heart of this viticulture is the qvevri, the buried jar where all the winemaking takes place: fermentation with skin maceration and aging. They set out to discover this country and returned with the decision to age all their wines in buried jars. They have twenty-six, but distinguish between tinajas (Spanish jars) for fermentation-maceration and buried "amphorae" for aging. No sulfur is added. For both reds and whites, the terracotta erases astringency and transmutes it into a velvety texture, a fruity and supple material.
The estate, located in Ardèche, is south of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Paul trained with René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, two great figures of natural wine in the Rhône Valley. With Chrystelle, he began by taking over Paul's family farm with two ares of vines, then in 2004 the entire estate, which now covers 4.3 hectares. The white grape varieties are located around the house, the red grape varieties are planted on steep hillsides, between 300 and 450 meters above sea level. The plots rest on a granite base with light soils: black mica granite, schist, and gneiss. Everything is grown organically (Ecocert) using biodynamic practices. The vines are cared for and fortified using plant decoctions and clay. The soils are worked by horse or winch and pickaxe. No chemical inputs are added to the vineyard work. The harvest is entirely manual.
Pineau Bio 2015 Blanc
Terroir, parcellaire et encépagement
C’est au cœur des terres calcaires de Cognac, dans cette région où le ciel et la vigne s’accordent depuis des siècles, qu’Alain Chadutaud cultive avec passion son Ugni-Blanc. Sur un sol argilo-calcaire typique, les racines puisent la fraîcheur et la minéralité nécessaires à l’expression d’un Pineau blanc tout en équilibre. Le millésime 2015, baigné de soleil et tempéré par les brises atlantiques, a permis une maturation parfaite des raisins, donnant naissance à une cuvée généreuse et précise.
Méthodes culturales
Fidèle à une philosophie respectueuse du vivant, Alain Chadutaud travaille en biodynamie, avec une attention constante portée à la vitalité des sols et à l’équilibre de la vigne. Aucun intrant de synthèse, mais des pratiques douces, un travail du sol minutieux et des préparations naturelles pour soutenir la plante tout au long de son cycle. La vendange, réalisée à pleine maturité, précède l’assemblage subtil du jus de raisin et de l’eau-de-vie de Cognac maison, selon le savoir-faire traditionnel du Pineau des Charentes. Le vieillissement se fait lentement, en fûts, afin de développer cette complexité aromatique si caractéristique.
Dégustation & accords
Dès le premier nez, le Pineau Bio 2015 s’ouvre sur un bouquet charmeur de fruits confits, d’abricot sec et de miel d’acacia, souligné par une pointe d’amande douce. En bouche, la magie opère : l’attaque est vive, presque citronnée, puis vient une rondeur miellée qui caresse le palais, soutenue par une trame acidulée qui évite toute lourdeur. L’équilibre est parfait, la persistance remarquable, laissant en finale une sensation de fraîcheur et de gourmandise.
C’est un pineau de caractère, à la fois solaire et tonique, idéal à l’apéritif, servi frais avec des amuse-bouches aux notes iodées ou des feuilletés au fromage. Il accompagne aussi avec noblesse un foie gras mi-cuit, dont il souligne la richesse sans l’écraser. Côté dessert, il s’accorde magnifiquement avec une tarte amandine, un fondant au chocolat noir ou même un roquefort bien affiné pour une expérience sucrée-salée intense.
Le Pineau Bio 2015 d’Alain Chadutaud est bien plus qu’un apéritif : c’est une invitation à découvrir un terroir vivant, une vision artisanale et une maîtrise du temps qui s’exprime dans chaque verre.
Version Sud Rouge 2022
Fréderic Cossard
One hundred percent Grenache is the composition of Version Sud by Frédéric Cossard, an organic and natural red wine vinified in Burgundy from organic grapes harvested in the Vaucluse region.
Vinification
The Grenache grapes used to make Version Sud are harvested near Vaison-La-Romaine, in northern Provence, on clay-limestone soils. The vinification begins with a two-week maceration of whole bunches, without exogenous yeasts or added sulfur, and ends with a one-year aging in concrete eggs.
Tasting
The nose of Version Sud is intensely fruity, highlighted by garrigue plants. The ruby color is superb and silky. On the palate, red and black fruits abound and are fresh. A true Provençal Rhône wine in the hands of this Burgundian virtuoso, Frédéric Cossard.

Gabbrodo Magnum White 2022
De Vini
De Vini's (Vinilibre) Gabbrodo 2022 is an ode to the terroir of the Pays Nantais. This natural wine, made without any additives, expresses with finesse the Melon de Bourgogne, the region's emblematic grape variety. Grown in gabbro soils, a rare volcanic rock in the Loire Valley, it benefits from nine months of aging in sandstone amphorae, imparting remarkable purity and tension to this exceptional white wine.
Its pale, golden robe heralds a luminous and crystalline wine. The nose seduces with its freshness and aromatic complexity: notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white fruits (pear, peach), and a touch of iodine that recalls its maritime origins. On the palate, the attack is crisp and lively, driven by a beautiful acidity and a sharp minerality. Aging in amphorae imparts a silky texture while preserving the wine's tension and freshness. The finish is long and saline, with a delicately smoky persistence that invites further tasting.
The 2022 Gabbrodo proves to be an ideal companion for seafood. It will perfectly complement scallops with truffles, grilled lobster, sea bass baked in a salt crust, or pike-perch with beurre blanc sauce. Served between 10 and 12°C, it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant freshness or cellared for 5 to 10 years to reveal its full complexity.
La Bueilloise Blanc 2022
La Grapperie
La Bueilloise is a dry white sparkling wine from the Coteaux du Loir, classified as Vin de France, organic (Ecocert), and natural. It is produced by Renaud Guettier of La Grapperie, without the addition of sulfites or any other chemical additives. A fine example of this winemaker's expertise, with added bubbles.
Vinification
La Bueilloise is a blend of young and old Chenin Blanc (60%) and Pinot d'Aunis (40%) vines, pruned in goblet and crescent shapes on a flint-clay terroir. The oldest vines are 115 years old and the youngest 8 years old. The harvest is carried out by hand at full maturity. Spontaneous fermentation in fiberglass vats using indigenous yeasts for one month, followed by fermentation in bottles where aging continues for twelve months on the lees. Manual disgorging without the addition of preservatives, then recapping.
Tasting
The atypical blend of La Bueilloise is based on the majority of Chenin, ripe to the point, which brings its roundness, aromas and liveliness. The Pineau d'Aunis brings a slight bitterness. Dry and nuanced, sending out clouds of aromas in bursts, this wine offers lively and intense bubbles. Fresh apple, pear, minerality, dryness, straightforwardness. An aromatic and refreshing sparkling wine, which you can pair with a wide range of good things and not necessarily "white wine" products: it will go well with local charcuterie, fresh veal and pork, raw or cooked shellfish (scallops) and crustaceans, lobster or fish in sauce, and fine sweet or savory flaky pastries. It is the perfect companion to a good blanquette or salmon with beurre blanc.
Learn more about Renaud Guettier and La Grapperie
In the Coteaux du Loir appellation, La Grapperie is the name of the estate of Renaud Guettier, who can be described as a master of Chenin, but also of Pineau d'Aunis, which is one of the oldest grape varieties in the Loire Valley.
The estate
Renaud's 60 hectares of hillside vines are protected from the north winds by the Bercé forest. Depending on the altitude, the terroirs are predominantly clay, flint, or sand. The grape varieties are the two traditionally authorized in the appellation: Chenin for the whites and Pineau d'Aunis for 90% of the reds, the rest consisting of a few ares of Côt, Gamay and Grolleau. Some vines are more than a hundred years old.
In the vineyard and the winery
The entire estate is cultivated organically. The soils are worked and all viticultural interventions are manual, including the harvest, carried out at full maturity, which is reflected in the fullness and smoothness of the wines. For the reds, the Pineau d'Aunis is partially destemmed (depending on the plot) and the macerations are quite long, three to four weeks, with punching down, to promote aging potential. The wines are aged in barrels for between twelve and twenty-four months, then racked, blended and bottled without filtration. For the whites, the Chenins are pressed directly at low pressure then put into barrels with complete malolactic fermentation, for at least eighteen months, malolactic included, and sometimes up to thirty-six months.
Morgon Terrain Rouge 2021,
Domaine Bélicard
In the heart of Beaujolais, Morgon AOP is an appellation renowned for its deep, structured wines with excellent aging potential. Domaine Bélicard, certified organic (AB, Eurofeuille), delivers an exceptional cuvée from 61-year-old vines planted on schist and volcanic soils, giving the wine superb complexity.
A distinguished and delicious Morgon
Vinified using semi-carbonic maceration of whole bunches, without destemming, this 100% Gamay Noir benefits from a natural approach that fully respects the expression of the terroir. The 6-month aging in wooden vats refines its tannins and preserves all the freshness of the fruit.
A vibrant nose and an elegant palate
Upon opening, this organic Morgon seduces with a delicate nose, revealing notes of crisp red fruits, with a beautiful freshness characteristic of the vintage. On the palate, the attack is silky and juicy, offering a body full of finesse and indulgence. The finish is long, revealing a subtle minerality and a beautiful aromatic depth.
How to enjoy this wine?
Served at 14-16°C, this wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif or at a barbecue, where its supple tannins perfectly accompany grilled red meat or spicy dishes. It also pairs well with gourmet salads and dishes with Mediterranean accents. With an aging potential of 5 years, it will evolve towards more complex aromas over time.
L'Oublié Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
In the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon, between wild garrigue and sun-drenched stony soils, L'Oublié 2021 tells a story of time, sun, and memory. This still red wine, from Mas Coutelou, is born from a blend of Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsault, three grape varieties deeply rooted in the winemaking history of the South. Each contributes its voice to this Mediterranean chorus: Syrah for structure and spice, Carignan for depth and texture, and Cinsault for freshness and fruity roundness. But what makes L'Oublié unique is its patient construction: a solera, or "perpetual" system, nourished by wines from eleven different vintages, including a 2001 Carignan, the first link in a living memory.
Cultivation methods
Jeff Coutelou, a free and inspired figure in the natural wine movement, cultivates his vines according to the principles of certified organic farming. At Mas Coutelou, each vine is cared for as an individual, each soil respected as a living organism. No chemical inputs, no compromises: nature expresses itself unfiltered, and the wine becomes a companion to life. The winemaking follows this same philosophy, free from artifice. No added sulfur, no corrections. It is the fruit, time, and energy of past vintages that shape this rare cuvée. The solera system, rarely used in still red wines, brings an almost mystical complexity, where each vintage enriches the next, in an infinite loop of transmission and depth.
Tasting & pairings
L'Oublié 2021 opens like a door to a warm and enveloping elsewhere. The nose is a sensory journey: patinated leather, ripe black fruits, bursts of red berries, sweet licorice, hints of oriental spices… On the palate, it is dense, sun-drenched, and sensual, yet without heaviness. The wine's energy is palpable, almost vibrant. Its breadth is combined with a lively tension, as if the older vintages were instilling wisdom and balance in the younger ones. This is a wine that tells a story with every sip, a memory passed down from the depths of the barrels.
At the table, it pairs wonderfully with a grilled ribeye steak, a confit shoulder of lamb, or a platter of fine charcuterie. But it can also stand on its own, as a contemplative wine, to be savored slowly, in the glow of a summer evening.
L'Oublié is not just any wine. It's a sensory manifesto, a collective work of time and earth, crafted by a visionary winemaker. A rare, profound bottle that deserves to be savored… so as not to be forgotten.
Amignes White 2017
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Perched high in the sun-drenched Valais region of Switzerland, the 2017 Amignes from Domaine Julien Guillon originates from a mountain vineyard where the Amigne grape variety expresses itself with rare purity. On these steep slopes, bathed in sunshine yet cooled by alpine breezes, the vines draw their strength from a living, mineral-rich soil. This interplay of altitude, light, and rock gives rise to a chiseled, concentrated fruit character that defines the unique identity of this dry and intense white wine.
Cultivation methods
Julien Guillon, a free and inspired winemaker, cultivates his vines like a wild garden. Using biodynamic methods, with absolute respect for the ecosystem and an extreme sensitivity to nature's rhythms, he guides each vine towards its full potential. Vinification is natural, without additives or artifice, allowing the Amigne grape to reveal its full truth. The long and meticulous aging process refines the wine without ever masking its tension or transparency.
Tasting & pairings
From the first whiff, the 2017 Amignes charms with its unique aromatic profile: fresh almond, ripe lemon, juicy white fruit, wild honey, and alpine herbs intertwine delicately. On the palate, the magic unfolds: a vibrant acidity provides energy and freshness, while a noble bitterness balances the whole, culminating in a precise and persistent finish. The palate is balanced and profound, with a chalky minerality reminiscent of the high-altitude terroir.
This wine calls for subtle and precise pairings: sea bream ceviche with lime, roasted white asparagus, aged sheep's milk cheese, or lightly spiced Asian cuisine. It will elegantly complement dishes that emphasize freshness and finesse.
The 2017 Amignes is the pure breath of the Swiss mountains, captured in a vibrant, precise, and luminous wine. A rare bottle, crafted by Julien Guillon, that brilliantly combines the nobility of a terroir with the freedom of a winemaker.
Vin de Lies White 2019/20 Magnum
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 regarded 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. And I might as well tell you that the magnum format makes it an even more monumental treat... The roundness and polish of the wine are further enhanced;
Vinification
The lees wine method consists, after racking the barrels or aging tanks, of gathering all the lees in a single tank. These lees are suspended in a small quantity of wine, which is again decanted and recovered once or twice. Nourished by the lees, the red obtained in this way is smoother, softer, and the white is less tense, rounder. To make 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 cuvée is released. Pairings: it goes with everything. Beautiful poultry, fine fish, seafood and shellfish…
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.
Jaen Touriga Encruzado Red 2021,
Ladidadi/Pinheiro
It's all in the title: Jaen Touriga Encruzado is made from the red grape varieties Jaen and Touriga on the one hand, and Encruzado and Cerceal on the other, all characteristic of the Portuguese wine region of Dão where this red wine is produced. The blend, vinified by Hugo Pinheiro and Florian Tonello in Penalva do Castelo, possesses the richness of a red wine with the fluidity provided by the white grape varieties. This results in a sumptuous gurgling of a vermillion color, deliciously crisp and full of sap. On the palate, it is well balanced between body and lightness, fruitiness and acidity, offering sweet notes of red fruits and blackcurrant. The tannins are nicely melted, giving a supple and velvety texture.
Jaen, the equivalent of Mencia in Spain, is a red grape variety frequently grown in the Dão, although it is tending to fade away because it requires a lot of attention. Fragrant and fruity, it deserves to be preserved. Touriga Nacional is a quintessentially Portuguese grape variety and one of the country's main grape varieties, even playing a key role in port blending. It is a dark-colored bunch, with small grains and a low yield. It produces full-bodied and balanced wines with notes of black fruits and flowers.
These two grape varieties represent half of the blend, the other half being made up of Encruzado and Cerceal, local white grape varieties of great delicacy, known for producing exceptional white wines. They are used here to add to the fluidity of the red wine. The vines, around thirty years old, grow on granite and clay-sand plots facing south at an altitude between 420 and 460 meters. The harvest is destemmed and, depending on the color of the grapes, receives a different treatment: the red grape varieties macerate for 5 or 6 days under slow pressing in a concrete vat. The white grape varieties go through direct pressing. Fermentation, using indigenous yeasts, takes place in stainless steel vats which are blended before bottling. After malolactic fermentation, aging lasts ten months. No filtration, no chemical inputs in the vineyard or in the cellar.

The duality of the name Ladidadi/Pinheiro is simply due to the fact that this winemaking entity is the result of a friendship: that of Florian Tonello, creator of the Ladidadi Wine brand, wine merchant-DJ-globetrotter who devotes his life to making natural wines known and loved, and Hugo Pinheiro, winemaker at the head of a small estate of two and a half hectares in Penalva do Castelo, district of Viseu, Dão appellation (central Portugal). Together, they decided to produce several vintages of natural wines, obtained through organic farming, manual harvests, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, without filtration or the addition of sulfites, from the emblematic grape varieties of the appellation on an estate planted around thirty years ago, with a small part planted in the 1980s. We therefore find Touriga Nacional as the main grape variety in red, followed by Clarete, Jaen and Encruzado, and in white Malvasia, Cerceal, Bical and Terrantez. Vibrant, lively wines, and a great opportunity to discover Portugal's wine-growing region in natural mode.

The symphony is made up of the different tones of the old vintages that compose this fine and intense rum. A meditation rum, made for Havana cigars and great dark chocolates.

The Longueteau distillery, located in Capesterre-Belle-Eau (Guadeloupe), is the oldest distillery on the island still in operation. It has the distinction of being entirely self-sufficient in sugarcane production, which it uses to create its magnificent terroir-based agricultural rums. Agricultural rum, we should point out, is made from pure sugarcane juice, unlike many other Caribbean rums, which are produced from cane molasses. It is a specialty of the French Antilles. The estate is currently in the hands of François Longueteau, a distiller since 1979. Production is, as it was originally, artisanal and traditional, but the sugarcane terroirs are cultivated using plot-by-plot methods—this is Longueteau's great originality, the first distillery on the island to have adopted this approach. Two varieties of sugarcane, blue cane and red cane, are cultivated, as well as fruits from the Guadeloupe region. Longueteau rums and the resulting preparations (punches, shrubberies, etc.) are refined, aromatic, deep, and fragrant.
Cailloux Rouge 2019,
Patrick Bouju
This cuvée is made from old Pinot Noir and Gamay vines on basalt, marl-limestone, and sandy soils. Three-quarters of the harvest is destemmed, and the rest is whole bunches; the whole grapes are macerated for a month in barrels. This is a wild, smoky, long, and persistent red wine, marked by intensely mineral notes: pebbles, metal. However, the fruit is present and juicy. The overall impression is dense and concentrated; the wine can be drunk now but will keep for a few more years. Serving temperature: 14-16°C. Open twenty minutes before tasting.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
