Puligny Montrachet, Blanc 2023

Fréderic Cossard

Avec cette cuvée en Puligny-Montrachet, Frédéric Cossard touche à l’un des sommets de la Bourgogne. Ce grand Chardonnay naturel, travaillé sans intrants ni label officiel, mais avec un soin extrême à la vigne comme au chai, exprime toute la noblesse de ce terroir mythique. Sols argilo-calcaires, altitude, tension minérale : tout y est, mais dans un style libre, vivant, profondément sincère.

Un élevage alternatif pour une grande appellation

Comme toujours chez Cossard, pas de bois neuf ni d’influence technique excessive. La vinification se fait par presse directe, en levures indigènes. Le vin est élevé pendant un an en œuf béton, une méthode qui respecte la matière, sans artifice ni marque boisée. Ce contenant permet un élevage dynamique, révélant une précision aromatique remarquable.

Puissance maîtrisée, minéralité éclatante

Le nez évoque la coquille d’huître, la pierre frottée, les agrumes mûrs et une touche grillée discrète. En bouche, c’est un modèle d’équilibre entre gras et tension, avec une profondeur impressionnante et une finale saline, longue et structurée. Un blanc gastronomique et de garde, sans concession.

À servir en grande occasion

Entre 10 et 12 °C, Puligny-Montrachet 2023 est à son aise sur des poissons nobles, fruits de mer, volailles truffées, fromages affinés. Un vin qui gagnera en complexité sur 10 ans et plus, pour ceux qui savent attendre.

Bourgogne Bigotes Qvevris Blanc 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Quand Frédéric Cossard décide de marier les grands terroirs bourguignons à une vinification en amphore, cela donne une lecture vibrante et contemporaine du Chardonnay. Sans bois, sans maquillage, ce Bourgogne blanc naturel élevé en qvevris (grandes jarres en terre cuite) fait la part belle à la pureté du fruit et à l’expression minérale du sol.

Une vinification naturelle, un élevage tout en respiration

Issu de raisins cultivés sur des sols argilo-calcaires, ce Chardonnay est pressé directement, puis fermente grâce aux levures indigènes, sans ajout de sulfites ni intrants. Il est ensuite élevé pendant un an en amphore, un contenant neutre qui favorise l’oxygénation douce tout en respectant la matière. Résultat : un vin tendu, profond, d’une grande lisibilité aromatique.

Profil tendu, éclat de fruit et minéralité

Le nez évoque les agrumes frais, la pêche blanche, avec une trame minérale presque saline. La bouche est droite, structurée par une acidité fine, avec une finale légèrement crayeuse. L’ensemble est sec, précis, d’une pureté réjouissante, sans bois ni lourdeur.

À la croisée du terroir et de l’amphore

Ce vin trouvera sa place à table autour de poissons crus, de fruits de mer, de fromages affinés ou d’une volaille rôtie. Servir entre 10 et 12 °C, avec une aération rapide. Il se dégustera dans les 5 prochaines années, pour profiter de sa tension et de sa complexité naissante.

Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru Monts Luisants Rouge Rouge, 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Frédéric Cossard continue d’ouvrir des voies audacieuses dans le monde du vin naturel bourguignon. Sans label mais avec une exigence absolue, il élabore des vins sans intrants, sans levures ajoutées et sans maquillage œnologique. Sa seule boussole : la justesse du raisin, du lieu et du millésime.

Monts Luisants, un 1er cru d’exception

Le climat Monts Luisants, perché au-dessus du village de Morey-Saint-Denis, est connu pour produire des vins structurés et raffinés. Cette cuvée, chère au cœur de Frédéric Cossard, provient de vignes enracinées dans des sols argilo-calcaires, propices à la profondeur et à l’équilibre. L’élevage se fait ici en jarre, pendant un an : un contenant neutre qui révèle sans masquer.

Pinot noir en pleine expression

Les grappes entières ont été mises en cuve pour une macération douce, respectant la finesse du cépage. Le vin qui en résulte est à la fois dense et élégant : une robe intense, un nez complexe de fruits rouges mûrs, d’épices et de pierre humide. En bouche, la matière est ample, profonde, mais tenue par une tension minérale remarquable. Une finale longue, précise et racée.

Accords & service : un vin de table noble

Ce 1er cru s’accorde parfaitement avec des viandes rouges grillées, des charcuteries artisanales ou des plats en sauce bien structurés. Servir entre 14 et 16°C, sans carafage. C’est un vin de garde affirmé, taillé pour évoluer sur une décennie ou plus, gagnant en complexité tout en gardant son énergie.

Un blanc qui bouscule les repères

Ce 100 % Pinot Blanc, cépage pourtant rare en Bourgogne, développe un nez complexe, mêlant des notes florales (violette) à une touche de fruit rouge surprenante pour un blanc, évoquant même la cerise blanche. En bouche, l’attaque est puissante, ample, avec une texture soyeuse, une tension minérale en fond, et une finale très persistante.

Gastronomique et de garde

Servi entre 10 et 12 °C, il accompagne parfaitement les poissons nobles, les volailles crémées, les fromages affinés ou des coquillages iodés. Sa structure et sa richesse lui assurent un potentiel de garde de 10 ans et plus. Une cuvée hors normes, pour amateurs éclairés.

Côte Pelée Red 2019

Jean-Yves Péron

This splendid Côte Pelée cuvée, produced in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron, is a red wine classified as a Vin de France. A rare and precious bottle.

Vinification

Côte Pelée is made from century-old Mondeuse vines growing on mica-schist soils in Albertville. Only the finest grapes are selected to make this cuvée. The cap is punched down for two months and the grapes are aged for two years in barrels.

Tasting

A powerful, deep, and robust wine with notes of leather, black fruits, cherry, raspberry, and blackberry. A vintage that you will pair with the finest red meats and regional cuisine.

Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron

Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies the 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 surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, 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.

Italian-Savoyard trade

Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers in Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his winemaking and aging experiences.

Rubaiyat Red 2009

Barranco Oscuro

Elegantly aged in magnum format for over thirteen years, this is a classic from the Barranco Oscuro estate. It offers a full-bodied, tannic, and dry profile, rich in mature notes of black and red fruits (blackcurrant, raspberry). Leather and earth also dominate, accentuated and enhanced by aging. Smooth, roasted, and nuanced notes of chocolate and spices, and superb balance. Rubaiyat is an allusion and homage to the Persian poet Omar Khayyam, a polymath who wrote a poetic cycle entitled Rubaiyat in the 11th century, glorifying mystical and physical intoxication. The Persian origin of the Syrah grape variety, from which this wine is entirely composed, was not for nothing in this choice of name. Rubaiyat comes from Syrah vines planted in 1996 at an altitude of approximately 1,290 meters and facing south on schist and clay soils. The harvest, manual, carefully sorted and destemmed, macerates in stainless steel vats and ferments with indigenous yeasts. The vinification is naturally controlled by the coolness of autumn nights in the mountains. Malolactic fermentation followed by aging takes place for sixteen months in old barrels. No sulfites are added, the wine is unclarified, and lightly filtered at bottling.

Between the Sierra Nevada and the sea, in Andalusia, the Sierra Contraviesa boasts the highest vineyard in Europe (1,368 meters) at its summit. Barranco oscuro means "dark valley" in Spanish, but this valley is part of the past; it was the original site of the property, but it was moved at the end of the 19th century, when phylloxera put an end to a period of intense winemaking and mass production. In 1979, the estate was taken over by Manuel Valenzuela, who decided to work it using natural methods and without resorting to modern oenology methods. Initially, he bought grapes, but his goal was to replant vines, which he did between 1982 and the mid-1990s. Currently, the twelve hectares of Cortijo Barranco Oscuro extend over a drop of almost 1,400 meters. On a poor, dry, schistose terroir, two localities concentrate the plots: Cerro Las Monjas at the very top and Hoyo y Cerro de Las Gayumbas lower down, near the winery buildings. Strong thermal contrasts explain the freshness of the wines, produced without the addition of exogenous yeasts and without any inputs in the vineyard or cellar. Although the estate is not certified organic due to the disillusionment Manuel suffered from fraud in this area, his estate is a member of the Spanish Association of Natural Wine Producers. His wines are straightforward and clean, without compromise: they are wines that give joy through the seriousness of the work that went into their production.

Magnum Munjebel MC 2016

Frank Cornelissen
This pure Nerello Mascalese comes from the Contrada Monte Colla, a very steep, terraced plot with magnificent sun and wind exposure, directly opposite Mount Etna. The soil is sandy clay. The vines, planted in 1946, produce a rich, powerful, and elegant wine. It's a bit like Etna's hermitage. The harvest is destemmed and lightly crushed, then macerated for sixty days. No fining, filtration before bottling.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Magnum Tonton Red 2014

Vincent Wallard

This 100% Cabernet Franc comes from Vincent Wallard's Loire winery. Grown in clay-limestone soils, the grapes are vinified using a mille-feuille process (skin-on maceration using layers of destemmed grapes and whole bunches to control the astringency of the tannins) before aging for twenty months. Excellent with red meats and wild mushrooms (particularly porcini mushrooms), it can be aged for twenty years.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

La Familia Red 2010

Barranco Oscuro

A wine for laying down. High-altitude Merlot, high acidity.
La Familia is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, one of the 800 vines planted by the Carmenet family between 1991 and 1998 by the winemakers at an altitude of 1,300 meters on schist and clay soils. The destemmed harvest macerates in stainless steel vats with manual punching. Aging in old barrels lasts approximately twenty-four months.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Rubaiyat Red 2009

Barranco Oscuro

This wine is produced from Syrah vines planted at an altitude of approximately 1,290 meters, facing south on schist and clay soils. The destemmed harvest macerates in stainless steel vats, and is aged for sixteen months in old barrels. The Syrah, originally from Persia, inspired the name of the vintage: Rubaiyat is the title of a lyrical cycle by the Persian poet Omar Khayyam (11th century), a man of great wisdom, mathematician, astronomer... He wrote in particular about the joys that wine brings, among other pleasures of life.
Natural wine without added sulfites.
