Non Ouillé White 2022
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
It is in the heart of Beaujolais that La Tribu Alonso has dared a bold departure, a joyful risk: producing an oxidative white wine, a rarity in this region more renowned for its fruity reds. For this cuvée, named Non Ouillé 2022, the Chardonnay grape lends itself gracefully to controlled oxidation, revealing an unexpected facet of its expression. Born from a terroir at the crossroads of influences, between the granite hills of Beaujolais and the more southerly breezes of the Rhône Valley, this wine embodies a true convergence of sensations. A first foray into this style for the estate—and a promising success.
Cultivation methods
The Tribu Alonso, as its name suggests, operates as a collective, with a vision of wine resolutely focused on people and the living world. Here, there are no labels, but a clear philosophy: to work as close to nature as possible, without artifice. The vines are cultivated without chemical inputs, respecting natural rhythms, and the winery becomes a place of gentle experimentation. For this cuvée, the choice not to top up the wine—that is, not to fill the barrels during aging—allows for slow oxidation, inspired by the wines of the Jura region. A way to explore new gustatory horizons, while showcasing the grape variety and the local terroir in a new light.
Tasting & pairings
From the very first whiff, Non Ouillé 2022 intrigues and seduces. One is immersed in a disconcerting yet captivating aromatic world: notes of anise, mild curry, and above all, that touch of nuttiness typical of oxidative whites, tickle the senses. On the palate, the texture is ample yet taut, with precise minerality and a beautiful freshness that perfectly balances the wine's buttery and saline character. A subtle interplay between unabashed rusticity and profound elegance.
This wine invites the unexpected at the table: perfect as an aperitif, with green olives, aged hard cheeses, or even a delicate Comté and caramelized onion tart. It also pairs beautifully with light, exotic cuisine, such as a vegetable curry or fish marinated in mild spices. This is a wine for the curious, for those who love new sensations, for those who enjoy venturing off the beaten path and discovering what Beaujolais can offer when it embraces other influences.
With Non Ouillé 2022, La Tribu Alonso has created a vintage of character, as free as it is precise, which redefines the contours of white wine in Beaujolais and invites us to broaden our perspective, glass in hand.
Dolce & Cabanon Red 2024
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
It is in the heart of Beaujolais, in a rural corner where vines grow undisturbed, that Dolce & Cabanon 2024 is born, an atypical, vibrant, and charming red wine. This cuvée, crafted by La Tribu Alonso, defies conventions with panache: it blends no fewer than 52 hybrid grape varieties, including 30% Seibel 54/55, enhanced by the aromatic freshness of Muscat Petit Grain—a rarity in red wines, here sublimely expressed. This vegetal kaleidoscope gives rise to a free and untamed wine, like a wild garden where every plant finds its place.
Cultivation methods
The vines are cultivated with care, in harmony with nature and the seasons, without haste or dogma. Each vine is tended by hand, each bunch harvested with respect, in a profoundly artisanal approach. This attentive work in the soil, this partnership with nature, allows the grape varieties, classic or forgotten, to express themselves with precision and spontaneity. In the cellar, the same philosophy prevails: simple gestures, intuitive winemaking, to let the wine speak for itself.
Tasting & pairings
Dolce & Cabanon 2024 is a juicy, supple, and easy-drinking red wine, both generous and light. From the first sniff, it seduces with its notes of ripe red fruit, enhanced by a touch of herbaceousness and spice. Then come almost unexpected hints of citrus, which refresh the whole and give this wine a playful, slightly mischievous rhythm. On the palate, the tannins express themselves gently, creating an elegant structure, always carried by freshness.
The perfect companion for summer barbecues, flame-grilled meats, or evenings in the garden with friends, this is a wine that invites sharing and simple moments. But behind this unabashed conviviality lies true craftsmanship, a quest for balance between rusticity and finesse, between nature and culture.
Les Larmes du Soleil Red 2020
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Born in the heart of Beaujolais, but labeled a Vin de France, "Les Larmes de Damas 2020" is a singular Pinot Noir, with understated charm and a fiercely independent character. Cultivated off the beaten path, this wine draws its finesse and structure from the vibrant soils of the Rhône Valley, where the terroir, though not defined by an appellation, speaks with genuine sincerity. Here, the soils express themselves without artifice, offering Pinot Noir a delicate canvas for expression, full of tension and subtlety.
Cultivation methods
Tribu Alonso is above all a philosophy of respect and patience. Without a label, but with a deep commitment to life, the estate cultivates its vines with artisanal care, far removed from industrial standards. The vinification of this cuvée reflects this: a "Jura-style maceration" where half juice and half stems, without the stalks, are left to infuse for three months. A gentle and slow method, like a whisper addressed to the fruit, which emerges pure, vibrant, and delicately peppery.
Tasting & pairings
In the glass, "Les Larmes de Damas" reveals itself with quiet modesty. Its pale red color hints at its delicate texture. The nose evokes faded rose, crushed morello cherry, and a subtle note of white pepper that tantalizes the senses. On the palate, the wine glides with elegance, carried by a crystalline freshness and a caressing suppleness. No pretense, just touching sincerity, a simple yet lingering emotion.
This delicate red wine calls for dishes of equal quality: light, subtle cuisine that doesn't seek to overpower. Ideal as an aperitif, with a platter of fine charcuterie, a beetroot carpaccio with herbs, or a mature soft cheese. "Les Larmes de Damas" also complements a moment of silence, a gentle conversation, or the soft light of late afternoon.
A free, meditative wine that reconciles fruit, time, and the hand of man in a discreet yet profound harmony.
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.
Amoroso Blanc
Distillerie Sentema
Amoroso Blanc is an ode to freshness, finesse, and controlled indulgence. Crafted by Distillerie Sentema in the Alpes-Maritimes, this sweet white vermouth is part of an artisanal approach rooted in the Provençal terroir. It is made from Rolle (Vermentino) grown in Correns, Var, then fortified with a local wine spirit, before undergoing a two-week maceration with a complex blend of organic plants and citrus fruits.
Unlike many commercially available white vermouths, Amoroso Blanc avoids any heaviness. Its sweetness is precisely balanced, supported by delicate bitters and a great vegetal freshness. It features absinthe from Barjols, sweet mint, and verbena harvested in the south, bitter orange leaves, and precious Menton IGP lemon peels, which bring an elegant zesty note to the blend.
On the nose, the aroma is floral and citrusy, with mentholated and slightly herbaceous nuances. On the palate, the attack is smooth, sweet yet taut, very fresh. Verbena and mint offer an almost ethereal dimension, while citrus fruits structure the whole. The finish is long, vibrant, never sugary, with a beautiful floral and citrus persistence.
Perfect as an aperitif, Amoroso Blanc can be enjoyed neat, chilled, or in a cocktail. It also pairs very well with seafood dishes, a citrus salad, or white fruit-based desserts.
A luminous, elegant Provençal white vermouth that subtly enhances the herbs of the South.
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.
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.
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.
Iris Blanc 2022
Jean-Pierre Robinot
The evidence of time and life
A unique winemaker, Jean-Pierre Robinot crafts his wines as one writes a poem: with attention, patience, and intuition. He produces deep, vibrant Chenin wines, always without additives or added sulfur. His slow approach to winemaking, combined with an understanding of the wine's natural rhythm, gives birth to powerful and nuanced cuvées.
Iris, between density and brilliance
This 2022 vintage comes from vines grown on clay-limestone soils, in a climate conducive to maturity. The grapes, pressed directly, are then aged for one year in multi-use barrels, allowing for slow and subtle oxygenation, without marked woody notes. The result is a balanced wine, concentrated yet precise.
A complex and luminous Chenin
On the nose, one is struck by its intensity: white flowers, dry honey, exotic fruits like pineapple or mango, all supported by a mineral touch. On the palate, the wine impresses with its richness, its ample, almost velvety texture, and its salivating finish with notes of warm stone. Iris combines maturity, energy, and elegance.
Pairings & serving: gastronomic nobility
Perfect with roasted fish, aged soft cheeses, or white meats in sauce. Serve between 10 and 12°C, without decanting. This great natural wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for over 10 years, to evolve towards more tertiary and saline complexity.
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.
Zestes d'Amour Bitter Orange Eau-de-vie,
Sentema Distillery
An explosion of citrus in an exceptional spirit
Les Zestes d’Oranges Amères, carefully distilled from organic Provence wine eau-de-vie, captures the essence of bitter oranges from Le Castellet and sweet oranges from Menton. Less sweet than a classic liqueur, this deeply aromatic spirit evokes the great classic of "triple sec", revisited here with finesse and modernity.
Delicious on its own over ice, with tonic or in cocktails, it brightens up any occasion with its freshness and complexity.
To find out more
The Sentema Distillery offers exceptional spirits, created on an eau-de-vie of organic Provence wines, distilled by hand on copper pot stills, made entirely with French plants and fruits, for unique recipes with frank and natural flavors.
Paradoxe 2021 White 2021,
A vibrant and unique Alsatian Chardonnay, reflecting an exceptional vintage
The Paradoxe 2021, a unique cuvée from Domaine Einhart, embodies a bold and elegant approach to Chardonnay in Alsace. Produced from a rich clay terroir, this organic AOP Alsace white wine is the result of careful vinification using direct pressing. The cuvée was aged for three years on fine lees in stainless steel vats, a rare method that gives the wine aromatic depth and remarkable texture.
An intense and structured tasting
On the nose, Paradoxe 2021 seduces with its complex and refined bouquet. Aromas of candied citrus and lemon zest intertwine with floral notes and a slightly mineral hint. On the palate, this wine reveals a full and vibrant texture, supported by a beautiful acid tension that gives it a persistent freshness. The salivation is broad, testifying to the richness of the clay soils, and the finish, of great length, is marked by a chalky minerality and nuances of ripe fruit.
A gastronomic wine with great ageing potential
The Paradoxe 2021 is an ideal cuvée to accompany sophisticated and bold dishes. It will enhance shellfish, cooked fish or roasted vegetables, but will also pair perfectly with Asian cuisine or truffle-based dishes. Its aromatic complexity also makes it an ideal companion for mature cheeses and citrus desserts.
Serve between 8 and 10°C after decanting, this Alsace Chardonnay can be enjoyed now for its freshness and liveliness, but its aging potential exceeds 5 years, promising remarkable development in the bottle.
Ambre dissous Red 2020
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Born in the vibrant Beaujolais region, La Tribu Alonso's 2020 Ambre Dissous is a distinctive red wine, a wine of character that breaks with established norms. While Gamay takes center stage, it is an uncommon Gamay, made from teinturier grapes – a rarity in the region. This bold choice results in a captivatingly deep color, almost cloudy like the ink of mystery, and already hints at a singular expression of the terroir.
The vineyard stretches across granite soils typical of Beaujolais, in an area where the influences of the nearby Rhône are felt, bringing darker, spicier notes and a welcome tension. It is a land of contrasts, between the freshness of the north and the generosity of the south, which La Tribu Alonso has managed to tame with rare sensitivity.
Cultivation methods
The Alonso Tribe is, above all, a philosophy. It's a return to the essentials, a work in symbiosis with nature, far removed from artifice. The vines are cultivated without chemical inputs, respecting living organisms, lunar cycles, and the energies of the land. Here, each bunch is hand-picked, in an almost ritualistic gesture, then vinified with minimal intervention. Fermentation occurs naturally, with indigenous yeasts taking the reins to best express the identity of the grape and its terroir.
This artisanal approach yields a free, vibrant, unadorned wine, where the grape variety can sing without a false note. Ambre Dissous is a reflection of nature embraced, sometimes wild, but always sincere.
Tasting & pairings
By the glass, Ambre Dissous 2020 immediately captivates with its deep, almost violet color, hinting at a wine with a strong character. The nose is a poem of spices: freshly ground black pepper, clove, with a delicate note of violet as a subtle reminder of Rhône influences. On the palate, the structure is assertive, the tannins present yet elegantly polished, offering a mouthfeel that is both firm and silky.
This wine is not meant to flatter; it challenges, questions, and invites contemplation. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, to awaken the taste buds, or at the table, alongside a generous dish: a matured rib of beef, a lamb tagine with prunes, or even a wild mushroom risotto.
Ambre Dissous is a wine for sharing, but also for meditation. A bottle that tells a story, that of a marginalized grape variety, a reinvented terroir, and a tribe that, far from the beaten track, forges its own path with heart and conviction.
Ceci n'est pas un vin White 2023
Ceci n'est pas un vin is still a wine, white, dry, organic, and natural, with no added sulfites. Made in Beaujolais by Cyril of La Tribu Alonso, it is classified as a Vin de France. It is 100% Chardonnay, but there are twenty-eight different varieties in the bottle. Just as the red wine Ambre dissolve is inspired by Salvador Dalí, this one obviously alludes to Henri Magritte (see the label).
Vinification
The collection of twenty-eight Chardonnays from the ampelothèque, from which Ceci n’est pas un vin is made, is planted on a half-hectare plot on granite, with wild grass, agroforestry and no tillage. The vines, pruned in the goblet style, are between four and thirty years old. There are Chardonnays here of all tastes and colors (white, pink, muscaté, etc.), and it seems that the multiplicity of grape varieties gives a whole new face to this Chardonnay, unfortunately a little overused in the world of viticulture. "We are moving away from the boring Chardonnay," says Cyril. The manual harvest goes into direct pressing and, after a 48-hour settling process, only sees from the vat to its bottling. Alcoholic fermentation without starter culture using indigenous yeasts, malolactic fermentation also in fiberglass vats. Zero chemical inputs, in the vineyard and in the cellar, and zero added sulfites.
Tasting
Surprisingly, Ceci n’est pas un vin: the opposite of classic Chardonnay, it has great qualities of resistance. Solid, fine and balanced. A dry white wine with no added sulfites that has a very long shelf life once opened, it is rare and unique. It can last, recorked, for a whole week. On the nose and palate, it is a marvel of perfume and aroma, as if it offered the quintessence of Chardonnay through all its varieties. Salty, iodized, aromatic and floral, it evokes peach or apricot blossom, white peach, and its acidity-alcohol balance will allow it to be kept between 5 and 7 years. It can be drunk whenever you want, with oysters, shellfish, raw or smoked fish, tapas, fine starters and any elegant and refined cuisine.
Learn more about the Alonso Tribe
This tribal name refers to Cyril Alonso, winemaker, his wife, naturopath, and their family. They take care, using organic farming methods, of a conservatory of traditional grape varieties from the Rhône-Alpes region located in Marchampt (Rhône), in the heart of the Beaujolais Vert region. This two-and-a-half-hectare ampel library, which has existed since 1952, contained forty grape varieties. It currently contains one hundred and forty. This unique location gives the Tribu Alonso wines their particular style. Instead of being single-varietal microcuvées, they are quite the opposite: wines by grape variety family, either a Chardonnay containing all the Chardonnays of the house or a multi-Gamay Gamay.
A biotope classified in 2008
The estate enjoys a unique ecological location: the house and the vineyard are surrounded by untouched forests, on the steep terrain of northern Beaujolais. Three rivers cross it, and the vines, close to the bedrock, capture all the minerality of the soil. Organic farming is practiced and the work, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, is entirely manual, without the use of any chemical additives or sulfites in the winemaking process.
The wines
Cuvées of co-plantation (and for good reason), the wines of the Tribu Alonso embrace all the complexity of their grape varieties and the viticultural history of Beaujolais. These are carefully crafted wines, made with great care, fermented and aged to the sound of Tibetan bowls, whose alpha waves are beneficial to the liquids. The vatting periods are short, to preserve the freshness and fruit, as well as the signature of the soil and grape varieties.
Alburostre White 2023
De Vini
Alburostre is an organic, biodynamic, and natural white wine made by Christophe Bosque (De Vini) in the Nantes region from the Folle Blanche grape variety. It comes from vines grown in Gorges (Loire-Atlantique), on the winemaker's estate, in gabbro soils. Classified as Vin de France. Folle Blanche, also known as Gros Plant, is a grape variety typical of the Nantes region, where it has been known since the 16th century and thrives in gabbro soils. Highly suitable for distillation, it is also a grape variety used in Armagnac and Cognac. It typically produces wines with low alcohol content and a pale color: Alburostre embodies all of these qualities.
Winemaking
The organic Folle Blanche grapes harvested for Alburostre are pressed directly, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then the wine is aged for nine months on its lees in stoneware jars. No fining, sulfiting, or filtration.
Tasting
Alburostre means "greenhorn" in Old French. Despite its pale color—typical of Folle Blanche—it's anything but an inexperienced novice. It's a very fine, easy-drinking white wine (10% alcohol), supple, pleasant, precise, and pure. A lovely yeasty, fermentary note rises above its simple description, enveloping the palate and further accentuating the wine's length. A truly indulgent wine: reserve it for the finest smoked salmon, seafood, and even caviar. The winemaker recommends salmon tartare with coriander, pollack fillet with beurre blanc sauce, or steamed goose barnacles.
Learn more about Christophe Bosque and De Vini
De Vini, along with the Vinilibre wine trading business, is the multifaceted venture of Christophe Bosque, originally from Saint-Nazaire. Wine has always been his passion. We are particularly interested in his local creations, made from grapes grown on his two-hectare vineyard and fermented in a traditional Nantes-style underground vat—a true reinvention of Muscadet (outside the appellation) in a natural style.
Gabbro melt
After years working as a wine merchant, importer, and then winemaker, this former cameraman, who holds a vocational diploma in oenology and viticulture, acquired a few plots (two hectares) of Melon de Bourgogne vines in 2017 in Gorges, Loire-Atlantique, near Clisson. The soils there consist of gabbro on a granite subsoil, a pedological configuration specific to the Nantes region and particularly to Clisson. Christophe is full of praise for this type of soil.
Muscadet, but better
Christophe's wines may be made from grapes sourced from the finest French terroirs, particularly in Languedoc, but the winemaker retains a special affection for his own vines, which he tends with passion and a deep respect for the terroir. His labels and appellations reveal a touch of humor and a flair for the pun, but inside the bottle, it's serious business: wines off the beaten path, just the way he likes them.
Vertige
Distillerie Sentema
Vertige is a remarkable creation by Distillerie Sentema, nestled in the heights of the Alpes-Maritimes, between sky, garrigue, and sea. This spirit, akin to a gin in spirit but unique in its base, is crafted from wine brandy rather than neutral alcohol, which gives it a rare aromatic depth and true personality.
Everything here is conceived in harmony with nature: certified organic, Vertige highlights carefully selected local botanicals: wild juniper berries, Menton IGP lemon peels, fragrant verbena, coriander seeds, and angelica roots. These plants are macerated for two weeks before distillation to extract essential oils without altering the balance of aromas.
The nose is astonishingly pure, blending the zesty notes of lemon, the citrusy and vegetal freshness of verbena, and the resinous signature of juniper. On the palate, the attack is silky and lively, with a soft yet precise structure, and a finish that lingers on citrus and dried herb notes, with a beautiful tension.
More than just a gin, Vertige is a refined expression of the Provençal terroir, combining floral elegance, subtle bitterness, and vegetal freshness. It can be enjoyed neat over ice, or in a high-end cocktail, where it will brilliantly replace a London Dry with a sunny and local personality.
Amoroso Rouge
Distillerie Sentema
Amoroso Rouge has nothing in common with traditional, syrupy industrial vermouths. This audacious creation from Distillerie Sentema, nestled in the Alpes-Maritimes, shatters the codes of red vermouth by offering a dry, complex, and vegetal version, entirely rooted in the Provençal terroir.
The base is a succulent and juicy Syrah from Domaine de Garbelle, cultivated in the Var region. This wine is fortified with a local wine spirit, then infused for two weeks with a bouquet of wild plants from the Var garrigue: Barjols absinthe, savory, rosemary, oregano, agastache, as well as bitter orange zest harvested in the Alpes-Maritimes.
The result? A dry, taut vermouth, with no added sugar, driven by structuring bitters, an intense palate, and a savory finish that evokes green olives and sunshine. On the nose, a deep aromatic profile emerges: rosemary, dried herbs, citrus zest. On the palate, the attack is direct, with a perfect balance between the black fruit of the Syrah and the bitter touch of the botanicals. The long, fresh finish, subtly aniseed by the absinthe, evokes a sun-drenched corner of the garrigue.
Ideal as an aperitif, Amoroso Rouge can also elevate a Mediterranean Negroni or be served neat, on the rocks, with an orange twist.
A free-spirited, dry, naturally complex vermouth that embodies the spirit of the South, unadorned and without added sugar.
Weingarten White 2023,
An elegant and vibrant Sylvaner, reflecting its unique terroir
The Weingarten 2023, produced by Domaine Einhart, showcases Sylvaner, the emblematic grape variety of Alsace. Vinified with precision, this organic AOP Alsace white wine is made from grapes grown in clay-rich soils, allowing the variety to reveal all its delicacy. After a 24-hour cold pre-fermentation maceration, the wine is aged for a month in stainless steel vats on fine lees, giving it freshness and aromatic purity.
On the nose, the Weingarten offers precise and vibrant aromas. Citrus notes like lemon and orange mingle with subtle touches of jasmine, white peach, and flint. On the palate, this Sylvaner seduces with its lively tension and elegance. Round and taut at the same time, it reveals a marked minerality, the signature of its terroir, as well as a slight, refreshing bitterness on the finish.
A perfectly balanced wine for the table
The Weingarten 2023 is a versatile wine, ideal for accompanying refined dishes or convivial moments. It excels with seafood, shellfish, and raw fish such as scallop carpaccio or salmon tartare. It also goes well with fine charcuterie, risottos or fruity desserts thanks to its balance between freshness and roundness.
Serve between 6 and 8°C after light decanting, this Sylvaner reveals its full potential now, but can evolve subtly over 5 years.
Marty Red 2022
Danis dans la Vigne
A straightforward and fleshy Malbec, from an exceptional terroir
Marty 2022 is much more than just a wine: it's a vibrant tribute to the deep terroir of Cahors, and particularly to one of the most beautiful plots of the Danis estate in the vineyard. This Malbec, from clay-limestone soils, cultivated organically and without any synthetic chemicals, produces a dense, juicy, and profoundly sincere natural wine.
Short maceration, followed by 8 months of aging in stainless steel tanks, preserves the integrity of the fruit while revealing the finesse of the grape variety. With no added inputs and only indigenous yeasts, this wine respects the spirit of living wine, offering an elegant and clear expression of Malbec, far from heavy extractions and pronounced oakiness.
A vibrant, structured yet supple red
From the first pour, Marty 2022 displays a deep purple color with violet reflections. The nose is immediate, generous, blending aromas of ripe black fruits, candied fruit, and a subtle touch of leather, evoking the noble rusticity of the grape variety. On the palate, the attack is supple, followed by a beautiful, melted tannic structure, without harshness, and carried by a lovely freshness. It's a wine that is both gourmet and serious, perfect for accompanying grilled red meats, stews, or a fine cut of aged beef.
Serve between 16 and 18°C, it can be enjoyed now or aged 5 to 10 years in the cellar to gain even more complexity. A modern and lively Cahors, like a bridge between tradition and freedom.
