The genesis of wine is often traced back to the seventh millennium BCE, in the Caucasus, where wine was aged in qvevris (or kvrevris), large jars of 3500 liters buried in the ground. Traditionally, wine has always been what we now consider organic, but the term "organic wine" appeared at the end of the 20th century, in reaction to the hyper-industrialization of wine. Indeed, it was in a context of wine globalization after the Second World War that wine production began to flood the global market with wines full of additives and synthetic chemicals to achieve higher yields and more standardized production, known as conventional wine. Organic wine is therefore a logical response to conventional wine; it aims to be more environmentally friendly and adheres to strict specifications governing wine production.
Organic wine is therefore a wine (red wine, white wine, rosé wine, orange wine, sparkling wine) made from organic farming. Organic wine first met the European specifications of 1991, which governed the principles of organic farming only in the vineyard. It was not until 2012 that new European specifications were published, this time stipulating organic farming regulations also in the cellar.
As mentioned above, wine from organic farming has theoretically always existed, but it is only since 2012 that it has been regulated and controlled by strict specifications in both the vineyard and the cellar. To summarize its obligations, organic wine must be made from certified organic grapes, as well as the sugar, must, or alcohol used during chaptalization and mutage. Also, its specifications prohibit certain winemaking practices such as de-alcoholization, electrodialysis, or thermovinification. The European Union also mandates a sulfite level 50 milligrams per liter lower than conventional wines, i.e., a maximum of 100 milligrams per liter for organic red wines and a maximum of 150 milligrams per liter for organic white wines.
The organic sector is booming, representing nearly 10% of global vineyard area in 2021 with growth of +3.2% compared to 2020 and +78% in 10 years. France is a leader in this field, hosting nearly a third of the world's organic vineyards, followed by its Italian and Spanish neighbors. But organic farming is not only beneficial for the environment; it is also a driver of social well-being. According to a study by Riccardo Vecchio, the organic wine industry creates 50% more jobs than the conventional wine industry, offering more stable jobs with a third of certified farms employing one or more permanent employees, compared to one in five for uncertified farms.
What are the different organic labels recognized in France?
It is INAO that delegates organic farming control and certification activities to independent and approved certification bodies, including Agrocert, Bureau Veritas Certification France, Certipaq bio, Certis, Certisud, Ecocert, Qualisud, Bureau Alpes Contrôles. Every year, certified vineyards are audited by one of these bodies, and in case of irregularity, a unique catalog of measures is applied. A label project to identify farms in the conversion phase (over one or more years) is also under study.
However, for some winemakers, the AB label is too flexible and allows for farming that claims to be organic but has some industrial deviations, notably with the support of large retailers who are trying to seize these new market opportunities. Therefore, two new labels have emerged: Nature & Progrès and Bio Cohérence have stricter specifications, including a ban on sales through mass distribution channels, a measure whose implementation aims to promote short supply chains.
It should be noted that there are many other labels categorizing organic wines that have stricter specifications. Demeter and Biodyvin regulate biodynamic wines or wines from biodynamic winemaking, an esoteric viticulture that considers the vine as a living ecosystem with more rigorous legislation on operations carried out in the cellar. Stricter than biodynamics (or biodynamic wine), the Vin Méthode Nature label proposes a charter for natural wine with an emphasis on low addition of sulfites in the wine and the use of indigenous yeasts. Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environnementale are two labels that promote sustainable development, through the preservation of biodiversity, phytosanitary strategies, and fertilization and irrigation management.
Finally, it should also be remembered that many winemakers refuse to be categorized under any label because it would mean denying the principle of the agricultural counter-model: emancipating oneself from standardized norms, not fitting into boxes. This can be seen as a way for the winemaker to assert themselves as unique and with a strong identity.
How is consuming organic wine better for the environment?
One of the great strengths of organic winemakers is their ability to bring life back to the soil and the surrounding flora and fauna. In France, viticulture accounts for 20% of agricultural pesticide use, compared to only 3% of agricultural land. Organic viticulture therefore emerges as an ecological hope: little to no use of phytosanitary products, recourse to organic fertilizers and compost, a reduction of up to one-third of CO2 emissions compared to conventional wine. With better respect for the vine, there is on the one hand a rebirth of the soil, which slows down erosion and promotes subterranean flora and fauna, and on the other hand, a rebirth of pollinators (bees, butterflies...) thanks to an increasing presence of life between the vines (hedges, wild plants, shrubs...).
Organic viticulture also allows for better water management, notably with less water stress (more organic matter in the soil allows for better water retention) and especially less artificial irrigation (the resilience of the vine is preferred). Each cuvée, each vintage, each bottle, in short, each wine from organic farming is therefore directly influenced by climatic hazards, which makes it possible to produce a wine (red wine, white wine, rosé wine, orange wine, sparkling wine) with its own distinct and marked personality.
How is consuming organic wine better for health?
No one can deny that alcohol, and therefore wine, is dangerous for health and should be consumed in moderation. Nevertheless, where conventional wine may contain pesticide residues, additives, and chemicals, organic wine reduces the presence of these harmful substances. It is also full of living bacteria and yeasts that can have benefits for the microbiota, including improved blood vessel function, improved protection of brain cells against cognitive damage, reduced risk of certain types of cancer (especially breast cancer), and better digestion thanks to the production of digestive enzymes stimulated by wine.
Another undeniable health benefit of organic wine is the reduction of sulfites, preservatives widely used in conventional wine to stabilize it. For an equivalent amount consumed, an organic wine will cause fewer headaches the next day than a conventional wine!
What are the advantages of organic farming for winemakers?
When we talk about organic wine, we often think about the health of our planet or our body, but we think much less about the health of our winemakers. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon to observe cases of cancer or respiratory problems among winegrowers, due to synthetic chemicals used such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers. Conversely, organic wine aims to drastically reduce these substances, so organic viticulture is beneficial for those who work the vines daily.
Although organic farming requires more physical and organizational effort, it exposes winemakers to significantly fewer toxic products. The use of alternative methods is also beneficial from a psychological point of view, as some producers state that the quality of the organic wine produced offers and brings a deep meaning to their profession, and according to a virtuous circle, this helps maintain a respectful, attentive, and intuitive relationship with their wine work.
But organic farming is also synonymous with short supply chains and therefore support for local economies with a win-win situation for all: the consumer has full traceability of the bottles consumed, and the producer has an income that better reflects the reality of their work. A virtuous system is thus created where the winemaker has more financial resources, allowing them to experiment with new things (new grape varieties, for example) and thus increase consumer satisfaction.

Beaujolais Blanc 2023
Jean Foillard
Le Beaujolais Blanc 2023 est la seule cuvée blanche de Jean Foillard, élaborée à partir de 100 % Chardonnay. Issue de sols granitiques, elle propose une lecture ample et profonde du cépage, avec un style plus structuré et gastronomique que celui d’un blanc simplement porté sur la fraîcheur.
La cuvée est vinifiée en presse directe, puis élevée pendant un an en barriques de plusieurs vins. Cet élevage apporte de la matière, de la rondeur et une légère empreinte boisée, tout en laissant s’exprimer le fruit et la minéralité du terroir.
Le nez développe des notes de fleurs blanches, de fruits exotiques et d’herbes fraîches. En bouche, le vin est rond, puissant et complexe, avec une belle longueur et une matière généreuse. C’est un blanc de table, pensé pour accompagner aussi bien des poissons et fruits de mer que des viandes blanches ou des fromages.
À servir autour de 10 à 12°C. Il peut être apprécié dès aujourd’hui, mais possède également un potentiel de garde de 5 à 10 ans.
Cuvée 0.72+ (exclusive cuvée) White 2023
De Vini
Vinified without additives or sulfites by Christophe Bosque of De Vini, 0.72+ is an organic and natural dry white wine. It comes straight from the land of Muscadet, the Loire estuary. Without having the appellation (it is classified as Vin de France), it can be considered a Muscadet and drunk as such.
In the vineyard and in the cellar
0.72+ white from De Vini is made from 100% Melon de Bourgogne (another name for the Muscadet grape variety) planted in Maisdon-sur-Sèvre (Loire-Atlantique) on gabbro soils characteristic of the region. Gabbro is a grainy igneous rock resting on a granite subsoil, contributing to the production of splendid, lively and mineral white wines. Gabbro and granite are Christophe Bosque's favorite soils. The wine was aged for one year on lees in buried cement vats (traditional in this region), without any additives.
If you want to know...
An anecdote explains the name of the cuvée: originally, due to a small technical incident during bottling, it did not contain exactly the standard quantity. The error has since been corrected (0.72+ of De Vini is in its fifth vintage).
Tasting
0.72+ white is excellent to drink now or later, well chilled. An elegant acidity mixed with a balancing roundness, a saline and salivating side make 0.72+ an unfailing companion to raw or smoked fish and seafood, especially oysters. This vintage also exists in red.
Learn more about Christophe Bosque and De Vini
De Vini, along with the Vinilibre winery, is the dual activity of Christophe Bosque, originally from Saint-Nazaire. He has always been passionate about wine. We are particularly interested in his local creations, produced from his vineyard of some two hectares and fermented in buried vats in the Nantes style - a true reinvention of Muscadet (outside the appellation) in natural mode.
Gabbro Fondu
After spending years as a merchant, importer, then wine merchant, this former cameraman with a BTS in oenology-viticulture acquired a few plots (two hectares) of Melon de Bourgogne vines in Gorges, in Loire-Atlantique, near Clisson in 2017. The soils there are made up of gabbro on a granite substrate, a pedological configuration specific to the Nantes region and particularly to Clisson. Christophe is full of praise for this type of soil.
Muscadet for the better
Christophe's vintages may come from grapes purchased from the best French terroirs, particularly in Languedoc, but the winemaker retains a special affection for his vines, which he maintains with passion and attention to the terroir. A touch of humor and a sense of pun can be seen on his labels and in his appellations, but in the bottle, they are serious, off-the-beaten-track wines, just the way he likes them.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful viticultural practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for some 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 trading house and buys 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 crus. The practice is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura, Languedoc, and elsewhere. At his farm, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are tended according to biodynamic principles: 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.
The Cornas Chaillot 2017 is one of Thierry Allemand's great expressions of Syrah. Made from several lieux-dits with granitic soils in Cornas, this cuvée typically comes from the estate's younger vines and is distinguished by a particularly refined and ethereal expression. The 2017 vintage brings beautiful ripeness, with a deep nose of black and red fruits, violet, pepper, smoke, and black tea. The palate is dense without ever becoming massive, supported by very fine tannins, beautiful freshness, and a long, spicy finish.
100% Syrah, the grapes are vinified in whole bunches, without sulfur during fermentation, with gentle punch-downs. The wine is then aged for 18 to 24 months in old wood, with no new wood, before bottling without filtration and with only a light sulfiting if necessary. A great Cornas that is currently evolving beautifully, ideal with roast leg of lamb, roasted pigeon, game, or a fine cut of beef.
S613 2025 – White
Paul Benoit, vinified by Cyril Alonso
Culinaries Exclusive
S613 owes its name to the 613 clone of Savagnin, one of the clonal selections recognized for this iconic Jura grape variety. A choice that directly echoes the work of Cyril Alonso, a passionate ampelographer—the study and identification of grape varieties—who has been committed for many years to the preservation of varietal diversity.
The grapes come from Domaine Paul Benoit & Fils in Pupillin and are vinified by Cyril without additives, followed by 12 months of aging on fine lees. The Savagnin here is produced in an ouillé (topped-up) style, meaning the vessel is regularly refilled during aging to limit contact with air and prevent the development of an oxidative profile.
This approach preserves a more direct and fresher expression of the grape variety, featuring citrus fruits, white flowers, and yellow fruits, with a taut, precise, and energetic palate. A topped-up Savagnin that highlights the purity of the grape variety as much as the Jura's viticultural heritage.
Domaine Paul Benoit & Fils, vinified by Cyril Alonso
Culinaries Exclusive
P584 takes its name from Ploussard clone 584, a clonal selection of this iconic Jura grape variety. This choice makes perfect sense when you consider the work of Cyril Alonso, a passionate ampelographer—the study and identification of grape varieties—who has been committed for years to the preservation of varietal diversity.
The grapes come from Domaine Paul Benoit & Fils in Pupillin before being entrusted to Cyril, who vinifies them without additives using an infusion-style process, then ages the wine for 8 months on fine lees. The result is an ethereal and very digestible red, carried by red fruits, flowers, and subtle herbaceous notes. The palate is supple, fresh, and taut, with delicate tannins and plenty of energy.
A cuvée that speaks as much to Ploussard as it does to the botanical heritage of the Jura.
An Anjou Chenin that plays on beautiful fruit ripeness while maintaining great freshness. Radicalement Blanc 2025 offers a gourmand and luminous profile, with notes of yellow fruit, ripe apple, citrus, and a floral touch, carried by a lively and slightly mineral structure.
The palate remains supple, clean, and easy-drinking, with enough tension to balance the ripeness of the vintage. A very accessible white, to be enjoyed as an aperitif or with a meal, paired with fish, seafood, poultry, or goat cheese.

Domaine de Chassorney - Frédéric Cossard
Coming from a tiny plot of about a third of a hectare located in Saint-Romain, En Carran La Croix de Bernard 2018 is a rare Pinot Noir, produced only in magnum. The vines, about twenty years old, grow on a terroir rich in limestone. For this wine, Frédéric Cossard chose to age it in Georgian qvevris, large terracotta jars that help preserve the purity of the fruit while adding great finesse to the texture. The wine reveals a delicate register of cherry, raspberry, flowers, and spices, with a compact, elegant, and very fresh palate.
Cultivated according to the estate’s organic principles, hand-harvested, and fermented with indigenous yeasts, this Pinot Noir is made without fining or filtration and with minimal intervention. The magnum format further highlights its aging potential. Serve with roast poultry, duck, veal with mushrooms, fine charcuterie, or aged cheeses.
Altanelle 2023
Danis in the vineyard
Altanelle 2023 is a red wine from the South-West that stays true to the style of Danis Bessières: natural, expressive, and light on its feet. Sourced from the family vineyard, which has been farmed organically since the 1980s, the wine emphasizes fresh fruit and low-intervention winemaking. The nose leans towards ripe red and black fruits, spices, and a subtle vegetal touch, while the palate remains supple, easy-drinking, and structured by fine tannins.
It is a versatile red, to be served at around 16°C, that will easily pair with artisanal charcuterie, grilled meats, roasts, or slow-cooked dishes. The house style remains very evident here: a lively and accessible Cahors, far removed from the overly heavy expressions often found in the region.
Frédéric Cossard
UGM Qvevris 2022 is an original négociant cuvée made from Grenache Blanc, Muscat, and Ugni Blanc sourced from the south of France. The blend plays on the contrast between the aromatic character of the Muscat, the roundness of the Grenache Blanc, and the freshness of the Ugni Blanc. The nose evokes white flowers, citrus, yellow fruits, and Mediterranean herbs, while the palate is ample, fresh, and slightly textured.
As its name suggests, this cuvée is crafted in qvevris, the large Georgian terracotta jars particularly favored by Cossard for their ability to preserve the purity of the fruit while adding texture. A singular white wine to pair with grilled fish, Mediterranean vegetables, spicy cuisine, poultry, or goat cheeses.

Made from an old Gaillac black grape variety reintroduced by the Plageoles family, this eau-de-vie is aromatic, full-bodied, and spicy. Very long-lasting and comforting, it is the most "vinous" of the eaux-de-vie from the Cazottes distillery. Try it as a grog with citrus fruits, or to macerate cherries and other red fruits or fresh grapes. If you need to use a grape eau-de-vie in cocktails, look no further. Alcohol content: 45%.
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.
