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.

1ER JUS Domaine Red 2024
Fond Cyprès
Neither quite red nor truly rosé: 1er Jus Domaine is a hybrid cuvée, light and natural, that breaks the mold. Produced by Fond Cyprès, it results from a very gentle pressing of Carignan and Grenache grapes, organically grown on clay-limestone soils in Languedoc, with a deliberately supple, fruity, and spontaneous style.
A natural wine without makeup
Whole bunches are placed in vats for a short and gentle maceration, without destemming. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulfites or other winemaking additives. Aging for six months in stainless steel tanks preserves the freshness and juiciness of the fruit.
A light and refreshing profile
On the nose, 1er Jus Domaine captivates with its notes of crisp cherry, fresh raspberry, a touch of tart red fruit, and a hint of fresh almond. The color is clear, between ruby and raspberry. On the palate, it is delicate, smooth, with a supple, thirst-quenching texture and a touch of energy on the finish. An ultra-digestible red, almost floral, without pronounced tannins.
To be enjoyed like a spring wine
Served between 14 and 16 °C, 1er Jus perfectly accompanies raw fish, a summer barbecue, appetizer platters, or Asian cuisine with sweet and savory notes. A wine for immediate pleasure, to be drunk within 2 years, to enjoy its freshness and lightness.
Cyprès de Toi Rosé 2024
Fond Cyprès
With this rosé version of Cyprès de Toi, Fond Cyprès winery delivers a light, lively, and delicate wine, made from direct-pressed Malbec, without maceration. This organic natural rosé from Languedoc emphasizes subtlety, freshness, and immediate drinkability.
A refreshing rosé, without artifice
Made from vines planted on clay-limestone soils, the Malbec is pressed immediately after harvest, without skin maceration, to produce a clear, delicate juice. Fermentation is natural, with indigenous yeasts, and no added inputs. Six months of aging in stainless steel tanks preserves the aromatic purity and fruit vivacity.
Light, aromatic, irresistible
On the nose, the wine reveals notes of wild strawberry, fresh lychee, and a subtle floral touch. On the palate, it is ethereal, taut, with a clean attack, a discreet but balanced body, and a clean finish that invites a second sip. A dry, refined rosé, with a very pale color, but a joyful expression.
Serve chilled, anytime
To be enjoyed between 10 and 12 °C, this natural rosé pairs perfectly with fine charcuterie, Mediterranean dishes, summer salads, or simply as an aperitif. Ideal for warm days, to be drunk within two years.
Le Blanc des Garennes, White 2024
Fond Cyprès
Nestled in the heart of Languedoc, the Fond Cyprès estate unveils with Le Blanc des Garennes 2024 a natural white wine of great finesse. This blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier embodies the balance between freshness, creaminess, and aromatic expression of the South, all while adhering to the principles of committed organic viticulture.
Controlled aging for a silky texture
The grapes, grown on clay-limestone soils, are pressed directly after harvest, without maceration. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, without inputs, then the wine is aged for five months in multi-vintage barrels to round out the texture without imbuing the aromatic profile with wood. The result: a cuvée that is both fresh and full-bodied, with a caressing texture.
A floral nose, a generous palate
Upon tasting, Le Blanc des Garennes entices with its delicate aromas of white flowers, peach, and yellow fruits. On the palate, the wine is both supple and taut, with a slightly saline undertone and a beautiful persistence. It combines volume and vivacity, without ever becoming heavy.
Pairings and sharing moments
Served between 10 and 12 °C, this natural wine pairs wonderfully with shellfish, white meats, sunny herb-infused dishes, or even Italian or Mediterranean cuisine. It can be enjoyed in its youth but will gain complexity over 5 to 10 years. A gastronomic, accessible, and refined cuvée.
Beaujolais Lancié, Red 2021
Domaine Bélicard
With this cuvée under the Beaujolais Villages appellation, Domaine Bélicard celebrates the purest and most direct expression of Gamay. Made from organically farmed vines on the granite terroir of Lancié, this still red wine is a fruit bomb, an ode to freshness and deliciousness, to be enjoyed without delay.
A natural wine that gets straight to the point
The hand-harvested grapes are vinified whole cluster, respecting natural practices: short maceration of a few days, spontaneous fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts, no enological inputs. The brief aging (one month) in concrete vats aims to preserve the aromatic brilliance and natural tension of the Gamay. No disguise, no heaviness: just fruit and honesty.
A juicy and expressive red
Upon opening, the nose imposes itself with a palette of crunchy red fruits: cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, with a small note of kirsch that adds a gourmet accent. On the palate, the texture is fluid, smooth, and highly drinkable. It's a striking wine, with a slightly peppery, fresh, and thirst-quenching finish.
The friend of good times
Served at 14–16 °C, Beaujolais Lancié 2021 will accompany friendly aperitifs, charcuterie platters, savory tarts, or grilled poultry. Its frankness makes it an excellent everyday companion. It can be kept for 3 to 5 years, but everything will push you to drink it young, as it sparkles with energy.
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.
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.
Mint
Distillerie du Viaduc
With this bottle of Mint, Distillerie du Viaduc offers a novel and ultra-fresh interpretation of mint, far from the sugary clichés of classic liqueurs. Here, no syrup, no artificial flavors, no artifice: only three varieties of French organic mint – peppermint, grapefruit mint, and spearmint – macerated for a long time, then distilled at low temperature in an artisanal still.
This spirit has an alcohol content of 30% vol., yet remains extremely delicate. The distillation process subtly reveals the full range of herbal and menthol notes of the plants without becoming aggressive or overwhelming. The color is clear, crystalline. On the nose, it offers a pure scent of fresh mint, cut grass, and chlorophyll. On the palate, the attack is soft, the texture round, but the freshness is immediate and intense, balanced by a tangy note reminiscent of a green citrus zest. The finish is long, persistent, with an almost medicinal yet elegant freshness.
Sugar-free, this bottle of Mint positions itself between a digestif, a cocktail base, and an ingredient for creative cooking. Enjoy it neat, well chilled, to accompany a dark chocolate dessert, a sorbet, or simply to conclude a meal. It also works perfectly as an aperitif, lengthened with a dry tonic or sparkling water, like an "adult mint water" for discerning palates.
A unique, botanical, natural, invigorating spirit that ushers mint into a new era.
Ánizo
Distillerie du Viaduc
Ánizo is a modern, refined, and uncompromising interpretation of anise-flavored spirits, born in the heart of Île-de-France, in the workshops of Distillerie du Viaduc. Crafted exclusively from organic French botanicals and aromatics, this spirit is inspired by the great Mediterranean traditions, but with a fresh, honest, and committed perspective.
Here, no additives, no added sugar, no artificial flavors: only a maceration of green anise seeds, fennel, coriander, and thyme, slowly distilled in a handcrafted still, to obtain a liqueur of great aromatic precision, clear and vibrant. This choice of integral distillation gives Ánizo a pure, fluid, and light texture, while respecting the intensity of the aniseed profile.
The nose is clean, intense yet elegant, with round anise aromas enhanced by a breath of garrigue. On the palate, fennel takes over with sweet and spicy flavors, joined by the citrusy freshness of coriander and the herbaceous power of thyme. The finish evokes the Mediterranean coast, between Hellenic notes and persistent botanical freshness.
Ánizo is perfect as an aperitif, diluted with fresh water like a natural pastis, or used as a cocktail base for dry and aromatic creations. It embodies a contemporary vision of anise-flavored spirits, more vegetal, more straightforward, more vibrant.

Covenant Rouge 2018
Danis dans la Vigne
The quiet strength of a patient and vibrant Cahors
With Covenant 2018, the Danis dans la vigne estate continues its meticulous work with Malbec, offering it a rare setting of time and care. This natural red from Cahors, organically grown on clay-limestone soil, benefited from an extraordinary aging process: 2 years in barrels, followed by 4 years in vats before bottling. All of this, without any rush, without fining, without filtration, in an artisanal approach that is deeply respectful of the grape and the terroir.
This wine, with its dark, almost opaque color, immediately conveys a sense of depth. The long and controlled aging gives it a complex aromatic expression, where violet, the signature of Malbec, blends with candied black fruits, sweet spices, and a delicate hint of melted wood.
A natural red of character and aging potential
On the palate, Covenant 2018 is ample, structured, yet perfectly balanced. The tannins are present but velvety, the texture is juicy, enveloping, and the saline finish extends the elegance. This wine has lost none of its vibrancy despite its six years of aging — on the contrary, it gains in depth with each breath.
To be enjoyed today or kept in the cellar for another 10 years or more, this cuvée is ideal with roasted red meat, an autumn barbecue, or a truffle dish. Serve it at 16-18°C, no decanting necessary, in a large balloon glass to release all its complexity.

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.

Armagnac The Morning Dew Spirits
Entirely organic (Demeter, AB, and Eurofeuille labels), biodynamic, and artisanal, The Morning Dew can challenge your Armagnac experience with its transparency. It is indeed a young Armagnac, which owes its paleness to four years of aging in oak barrels. Classified VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale). Developed by Maurice de Mandelaëre (Domaine de Saoubis), the only biodynamic Armagnac producer, it is distributed by Hootch and has an alcohol content of 44%.
Development
The Morning Dew is made from 100% Baco grapes grown biodynamically in Bas-Armagnac and aged in 200-liter microbarrels. It is neither reduced nor filtered, and is free of coloring. No fertilizers or pesticides are used in the vineyards, and no additives are used in the cellar. Cuvée limited to 390 bottles.

It's a real treat, a delicacy. Dried fruits, honey, and spices, an irresistible taste and floral notes. The silky, round palate reveals fruit, vanilla, and caramel. In its prime, it is suitable for all occasions: digestif, anytime tasting, dessert, or mixology. With this, dare to try a Iberian bellota ham, that's good, we have some. Or a ham from porc noir de Bigorre, a pastry or a dessert with Agen prunes.
Learn more about Hootch
Hootch is not a distillery but a distillery discoverer: created by two childhood friends, Martin and Thomas, it is dedicated to organic and artisanal French spirits, especially Armagnac. Its mission is to discover small Armagnac producers who have been made invisible by competition from foreign spirits. Hootch packages and distributes these Armagnacs to make them accessible to a wider audience.
Armagnacs by Maurice
Maurice de Mandelaëre is the only biodynamic Armagnac producer (Demeter and AB certified). Its sublime spirits are made with the utmost respect for the soil, the ecosystem, and the environment. Whether old, hors d'âge, or blanche Armagnac (not aged in barrels), Armagnacs by Maurice form the basis of Hootch's catalog. It follows that the entire production is organic, biodynamic, and artisanal.
Discover Armagnac
This alcohol, the oldest in France, is so much more than a drop to flavor a Landes tourtière or prune ice cream (even if we love those too)! Armagnac is complex, deep, multidimensional, the pure fruit of its terroir, and Hootch gives you a wonderful opportunity to discover it.
Magnum Alburostre White 2022
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 growing in Gorges (Loire-Atlantique), on the winemaker's estate, on gabbro soils. Classified as a Vin de France. Folle-Blanche or Gros-Plant is a typical grape variety of the Nantes region, where it has been known since the 16th century and thrives on gabbro soils. Very suitable for distillation, it is also a grape variety used in Armagnac and Cognac. It typically produces low-alcohol, pale-colored wines: Alburostre is all of these things.
Vinification
The organic folle-blanches harvested for Alburostre are pressed directly, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then the wine is aged for nine months on lees in stoneware jars. No fining, sulfiting, or filtration.
Tasting
Alburostre means "white-beak" in old French. Aside from the paleness of its color—typical of folle-blanche—there is nothing inexperienced about it. It is a very beautiful, easy-drinking white wine (10 degrees alcohol), supple, pleasant, chiseled, and pure. A beautiful yeasty fermentation note rises above its simple description to envelop the palate and further accentuate the wine's length. Very gourmet: reserve it for the finest smoked salmon, seafood, and even caviar. The winemaker recommends salmon tartare with coriander, pollack steak with beurre blanc, or steamed barnacles.
Learn more about Christophe Bosque and De Vini
De Vini, along with the Vinilibre winery, is the multifaceted business 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.
Munjebel VA Red 2021,
The Volcanic Elegance of Etna
Frank Cornelissen's Munjebel VA 2021 is an immersion into the soul of Sicilian volcanic terroirs. This 100% Nerello Mascalese comes from old, ungrafted vines rooted in unique basalt soils at an altitude of 640 meters on the Contrada Porcaria. This blend of Etna's highest vineyards – Tartaraci, Rampante Soprana, and Barbabecchi – produces a wine of remarkable precision, often described as the most Burgundian of the estate's vintages.
A wine of exceptional depth
To the eye, this red displays a clear, brilliant ruby color, announcing its finesse. The nose reveals complex aromas of sweet spices, undergrowth, and intense volcanic minerality. On the palate, it impresses with its silky structure, vibrant freshness, and elegant tannins, perfectly balanced by beautiful acidity. The length on the palate is remarkable, marked by spicy notes and a touch of salinity, a signature of Etna's volcanic soils. Serve between 14 and 16°C, after decanting to reveal all its aromatic richness.
A gastronomic companion of choice
Perfect for refined meals, the Munjebel VA 2021 pairs ideally with roasted red meats, game in sauce or even Mediterranean dishes rich in flavor. This great wine from Etna also offers a unique experience when paired with mature cheeses of character.
With an aging potential of several years, this 2021 vintage embodies the excellence and unique character of Frank Cornelissen's wines, combining power and elegance in an authentic expression of Nerello Mascalese.
