Le Cordières des Andes, Rouge 2022
Fond Cyprès
Avec cette cuvée au nom évocateur, Fond Cyprès livre un rouge d’exception, structuré et vivant, qui célèbre la richesse du sud du Languedoc. Issu de vieilles vignes de Carignan, Grenache et Syrah, ce vin rouge nature et bio reflète la complexité des terroirs argilo-calcaires du domaine et la finesse d’un élevage en foudre.
Une vinification respectueuse et précise
Les raisins sont vinifiés séparément après une courte macération d’une semaine, en levures indigènes, sans ajout de sulfites ni d’intrants œnologiques. L’assemblage se fait ensuite avant un élevage de 10 mois en foudre, qui arrondit la matière sans masquer l’identité de chaque cépage. Le résultat : un vin naturel, profond, à la fois solaire et frais.
Complexité, finesse et longueur
À l’ouverture, le vin séduit par un nez expressif mêlant fruits rouges mûrs, fruit noir (cassis, mûre), épices douces, et une pointe réglissée. La bouche est ample, structurée mais souple, avec des tanins fins et une fraîcheur maîtrisée qui équilibre l'ensemble. La finale, longue et élégante, révèle un beau potentiel de garde.
Un rouge méditerranéen de gastronomie
À déguster entre 16 et 18 °C, Le Cordières des Andes accompagnera parfaitement les viandes rôties, grillades, cuisines méditerranéennes, ou un barbecue raffiné. Il peut être savouré dès maintenant, mais atteindra sa pleine maturité dans 5 à 10 ans et plus. Une cuvée sérieuse, engagée, mais toujours pleine de charme.

Frédéric Cossard
An elegant and delicious rosé, Super Pink embodies the pure expression of Cinsault.

The Altesse grapes, grown on mica schist terraces near Albertville, are harvested at the most ripeness possible. They then undergo two weeks of carbonic maceration and two months of punching down in vats. After devatting, the wine is aged for at least a year in 300-liter barrels.
Tasting
La Grande Journée is a magnificent polyphonic maceration white, a distinguished orange structured in layers. It evokes white fruits, flowers, with a spicy and mineral dimension. Beautiful controlled oxidation that will enhance Alpine cheeses, or white meats or roasted poultry, stuffed or not.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron talentedly embodies the organic, biodynamic and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and many 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. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italo-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.
Champ Levat Red 022
Champ Levat is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine from Savoie produced by Jean-Yves Péron using Mondeuse grapes. This vintage, vinified without additives, is classified as a Vin de France.
Vinification
Champ Levat comes from two plots: mica schist in Albertville (the Pas de l'Ours plot) and limestone scree in Fréterive (the Côté pelée plot). The former gives a mineral and floral accent, and the latter favors a rustic side. The harvest, entirely manual, is vatted in whole bunches and undergoes two weeks of carbonic maceration. Aged for one year in barrels used for several wines (between three and ten years old), the wood of which does not overpower the fruitiness of the wine. No filtration, fining, or addition of sulfites.
Tasting
In Champ Lervat, two terroirs balance each other. This is a tender and balanced red wine, taut and straightforward, with a peppery note and plenty of spice. On the palate, it offers a profusion of fresh and intense fruit and balsamic notes. Pleasant, fresh, and dense on the palate. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long. This 100% Mondeuse can be kept for a long time, and will pair very well with cured meats and all mountain cuisine.

Pastiche
Distillerie du Viaduc
Pastiche est tout sauf une imitation. Avec cette création, la Distillerie du Viaduc affirme une vision artisanale et végétale du pastis, loin des versions industrielles saturées en sucre et arômes. Ce spiritueux anisé biologique est conçu dans un esprit de pureté, en macérant lentement des plantes entières dans de l’alcool neutre, selon un processus doux et maîtrisé qui révèle la complexité naturelle des botaniques.
Parmi les ingrédients, tous issus de l’agriculture biologique : graines d’anis vert, fenouil, réglisse, aneth et thym citronné. La macération dure un mois, suivie de dilutions progressives sans aucun ajout de sucre, de colorant ni d’additif. C’est cette lente réduction qui confère à Pastiche sa texture onctueuse et son équilibre en bouche.
Le nez s’ouvre sur une trame anisée franche, soutenue par le fenouil et une touche fraîche de thym citronné. En bouche, l’attaque est nette, herbacée, structurée par une belle présence de réglisse et l’élégance anisée de l’aneth. La finale est longue, persistante, et évoque les bonbons naturels à la réglisse, sans aucune lourdeur.
Ce pastis nouvelle génération se savoure pur ou légèrement dilué, selon l’intensité souhaitée. Il est conçu pour les amateurs d’amers, de plantes et de fraîcheur. Plus qu’un simple apéritif, Pastiche est une infusion vivante du jardin méditerranéen dans un flacon, à la fois intense, sec et digeste.
Cathédrale Rouge 2020
Danis dans la Vigne
Une cuvée monumentale, entre verticalité et finesse
Avec Cathédral 2020, le domaine Danis dans la vigne signe un vin puissant, complexe et méditatif, à l’image de son nom évocateur. Cette cuvée d’exception associe Malbec et Cabernet Franc, deux cépages nobles du Sud-Ouest, sur un terroir argilo-calcaire travaillé en agriculture biologique. Un vin naturel, vivant, sans intrants œnologiques, qui fait le pari du temps long : 3 ans d’élevage en barriques, ouillées une seule fois par an, dans une approche oxydative volontaire, suivis d’un an de repos en cuve inox, puis d’un affinage d’un an en bouteille.
Un processus rare et exigeant, qui donne naissance à un vin au profil aromatique profond, à la texture soyeuse, et à la complexité remarquable, capable de traverser les années avec grâce.
Un vin noble, ample, patiné
Dès le premier regard, la robe sombre aux reflets grenat annonce la richesse du vin. Le nez s’ouvre sur des fruits noirs et rouges compotés, évoluant vers des notes d’amande grillée, de cacao, d’épices douces et de sous-bois. En bouche, la matière est dense, veloutée, mais jamais lourde. Le Cabernet Franc apporte une fraîcheur bienvenue, qui équilibre la puissance du Malbec. La finale, longue et harmonieuse, laisse apparaître une touche saline et légèrement fumée.
Cathédral 2020 est une cuvée de gastronomie par excellence, taillée pour des accords ambitieux : viandes rouges, gibiers à plume, plats à la truffe, ou même certains fromages affinés. À servir entre 16 et 18°C, sans besoin de carafage. Ce vin peut être bu dès maintenant ou conservé 10 ans et plus.
Harmonie Blanc Champagne Brut,
Eric Collinet
The Harmonie cuvée from Maison Collinet is an organic, biodynamic, and natural brut white champagne (Ecocert, AB, and Eurofeuille certifications) from the vines of the Éric Collinet estate, in Côte des Bar, the southernmost region of Champagne. Since 2014, this estate has been fully certified organic. The blend is 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Blanc.
The Mark of Limestone
The Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc vines grow on Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soils, bringing minerality and tension to the wines. The wines are from the 2018 harvest. Hand-picked. Dosage: 3.5 g/l.
A champagne for all occasions
A beautiful straw-gold color and fine, persistent bubbles characterize this champagne dominated by Chardonnay. The minerality is marked, with siliceous and iodized notes giving way to white fruits (peach, melon, candied citron). The evolution of the champagne in the glass is fascinating, the wine successively offering changing profiles. Pair it with anything you like, knowing that it will be very comfortable with bottarga, smoked salmon and all smoked fish, as well as grilled oily fish, smoked mackerel for example. It will make an ideal companion for high-end sushi.
Learn more about Éric Collinet champagnes
Limousin established in Southern Champagne "for the love of the land and the king of wines", Éric Collinet devotes himself to viticulture on this land of Riceys, in Côte des Bar, doubling it with a truffle cultivation activity (Burgundy truffle, Tuber uncinatum). Whether it is vines or mycorrhizal trees, it is the same love of nature and biodiversity that Éric and his wife Martine lavish on their estate.
Champagne agroforestry
On sloping land, planting trees in the vines helps to anchor them and compensate for water loss during increasingly hot summers. The dominant grape variety is Pinot Noir, — a regional tradition — with Chardonnay making up 20%. The entire estate (2.5 hectares of vines) has been managed organically (AB, Eurofeuille, Ecocert) and biodynamically since 2014.
The charm of the Côte des Bar
A remarkable freshness and salinity, a well-known signature of the Kimmeridgian limestone of the Côte des Bar, the "emerging" region of Champagne. The champagnes from Domaine Collinet are unanimously described as lively and fruity. These are tangy but not unrounded wines, with a lively bubble. A perfect accompaniment to all dishes, a great opportunity to have champagne meals without having to worry too much about the pairings.
Terre Mere Red 2021,
Equipped with the Écocert organic label, Terre Mère is a natural red wine, with no added sulfites, from the Clos des B estate, located in the Bay of Saint-Tropez. Red and especially black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry) abound on the nose and palate. The wine is structured and tannic, but the tannins are supple and well-integrated, and the finish includes a very seductive note of bitter almond. It resembles an Amarone, but without the cooking note, with much more fresh fruit and freshness despite its overripeness. Terre Mère presents a beautiful liveliness upon opening, but we do not recommend decanting. It gains dimension and breadth at the end of the bottle. It comes from the finest grapes, plot by plot and vine by vine, which have been isolated vine by vine to be brought to this overripeness.
Why “Mother Earth”?
The name Mother Earth is a tribute, through the terroir, to Pacha Mama, the great earthly divinity. One clearly perceives through the tasting the producer’s desire to stick to the terroir, to extract its quintessence, in addition to the resolution to add no input to the vineyard or the cellar. This mature and evolved typicity (15% alcohol) results from particular winemaking methods: Mother Earth, a red wine in AOP Côtes-de-Provence, is composed of 50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 30% Mourvèdre harvested overripe in September. Vinification is carried out 90% in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and 10% in open barrels. Foot-punching is performed, as well as a few small pumping overs. Malolactic fermentation is complete. The wine is aged in 600-liter barrels and in 228-liter barrels previously used for several wines. No sulfites are added, neither in the vineyard, nor during vinification, nor at bottling. To discover other wines from the terroirs of Provence, also explore the Domaine des Grandes Serres, in the Southern Côtes-du-Rhône. And to accompany this beautiful wine, why not slice a beautiful sausage from Maison Montalet?
Learn more about Clos des B
Clos des B (initials of the two owners) is an organic and natural wine estate located in Grimaud, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Gwendolyn Berger and Jean-Jacques Branger are the proud producers of the very first natural cuvées from this geographical area. Before the two Bs bought these three hectares of vines, all these wines went to the cooperative cellar of the Vignerons de Saint-Tropez. Driven by a "thirst for vines," as they say, Gwendolyn and Jean-Jacques overcame administrative difficulties, restored the vineyard, and soon produced reds, rosés, and even a blanc de noirs. Their grape varieties are typical of the region: Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, growing on schist sands crisscrossed by quartz veins. The property benefits from a microclimate that protects the vines from humidity, disease, and frost. The viticulture and winemaking approach resolutely embraces organic (the estate is under the Écocert label, applied for in 2020), biodynamics, and natural methods. The wines are made without added sulfites, fining, or filtration. The wines of Clos des B are a true reflection of their terroir and climate: fresh, fruity, and very pleasant to drink, beautiful natural wines from the terroir of Provence.
Mensonge à Papa Red 2021
Fresh, supple, fruity, light, and easy-drinking, Mensonge à Papa is a delicious wine for aperitifs, sharing, thirst quenching, meals, and good company. It proudly carries the banner of Gamay from two regions: Auvergne (from Châteaugay, near Riom, on calcareous-volcanic soils) and Beaujolais (from Rivolet, on blue granite). It is the result of a blend of equal parts of these two origins of the same grape variety, with a shared family resemblance, but also a marked difference: the Gamay from Auvergne has more acidity. Lie to Dad is therefore, in a way, an ode to Gamay. The grapes are first slowly pressed, then their must is added to whole bunches (of Gamay, surprise!) for a fifteen-day carbonic maceration. The aging takes place for a year in fiberglass vats. No chemical inputs are added during the cultivation and vinification, and in particular no sulfites. Classified as a Vin de France and with an alcohol content of 13.5%, it will be wonderful as an aperitif or with food, or just to have a good time.

Founded and run by Claire Sage and Aimé Duveau, located in Chanteuges (Haute-Loire), Belly Wine Experiment is as much an experiment as a winemaking business. The creative duo has a lot to live up to: Claire is the sister of Daniel Sage, a fan of underwater wine aging but above all an importer of Catalan wines. Hence the presence of Catalan grape varieties in Belly Wine Experiment's blends, alongside Burgundy, Auvergne, and Jura grape varieties, readily found in the same bottle. Aimé is the son of Manu Duveau, a poet-winemaker from Auvergne, a former stonemason, and a great winemaker of local Gamays at his Domaine de l'Égrappille. The uniqueness of Belly Wine Experiment is the exoticism (in the literal sense) of the blends, with Xarel lo from Catalonia, for example, being able to sit alongside Gamay from Puy-de-Dôme with the utmost naturalness. The wines are made using semicarbonic maceration, without the addition of chemical additives or excessive manipulation in the cellar. The house is also known for its very high-quality, vinous perries.
Muscat Petit Grain White 2002
A liqueur muscat in the tradition of Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, the region where the estate is located. This petit grain muscat is a fortified wine, meaning a must whose fermentation has been interrupted by the addition of alcohol. This produces a delicious beverage, both sweet and fresh, with incredible aromatic complexity. You can keep it chilled almost indefinitely after opening, tightly corked: ideal for pouring a drink for friends who are visiting. Also interesting for catering, served by the glass, due to its stability once the bottle is uncorked. Almost unlimited pairings. Serve chilled.

Le Petit Domaine de Gimios is located near Saint-Jean-de-Minervois, an ancient terroir and source of sweet muscats from the Languedoc. In fact, the estate is dedicated to the region's typical small-grain muscat (in addition to a few other varieties), and Anne-Marie Lavaysse is firmly rooted in tradition by producing fine wines from this precious grape variety. In 1993, she and her son Pierre took over several old, abandoned vineyards, which she now uses to create the estate. Small, certainly, but multicultural and almost self-sufficient: the muscat from old vines shares the space with vegetable and food crops, fruit trees, and some livestock farming. None of this receives any chemical inputs, sulfur, or mechanical force, and the estate, certified by Écocert, is cultivated biodynamically. On these five hectares, viticulture and mixed farming are one. The harvest is carried out by hand in the early morning, destemmed and foot-trodden, before macerating for approximately ten days using native yeasts. No sulfites are added during bottling. The wines are universally described as "delicious," "pure and fresh," "clear and easy to drink." The house produces dry, sweet, liqueur-like, and fortified muscats, as well as very fruity reds made from traditional local grape varieties. Everywhere, the impression of biting into fresh grapes is felt.
Cuvée Expériment Rosé 2020,
Belly Wine Experiment
A rosé with a lot to tell, somehow bridging the gap between Catalonia and Auvergne. Fruit, freshness, liveliness, vivacity, and a beautiful light ruby color. Officially classified as a red wine because it contains white wine, this rosé Experiment cuvée is made from equal parts Gamay from Auvergne and Xarello from Catalonia. The Gamay undergoes semicarbonic maceration in whole bunches for fifteen days, then it is blended with crushed Xarello, along with its stems, and macerated for five days. Classified as Vin de France and with an alcohol content of 12.7%, the wine is produced without any chemical additives, either in the vineyard or in the cellar. It is aged in fiberglass vats.
