Sous le Végétal
Sous le Végétal est le projet viticole ambitieux fait maison, né sur l'île grecque de Samos. Initialement imaginé par Jason Ligas, le projet a pris un nouvel essor grâce à l'expertise de Patrick Bouju, figure emblématique du vin naturel en Auvergne, et au soutien indéfectible de la Maison Culinaries. Ensemble, ils ont insufflé une nouvelle vie à ce terroir unique, en s'appuyant sur le savoir-faire ancestral d'une coopérative locale et en sublimant le cépage emblématique de l'île : le muscat petit grain.

Octave blanc 2019 Polo & Pan edition, Sous le Végétal - CULINARIES EXCLUSIVE
How does a collaboration between the duo Polo & Pan and Culinaries' Sous le Végétal project come about? DJs Paul Armand-Delille and Alexandre Grynszpan – aka Polo & Pan – are sensitive to the values conveyed by so-called natural wines: an infinite palette of flavors, organic and biodynamic agriculture, respect for the soil and terroirs, no added chemical inputs... At Culinaries, natural wine is our flagship. During a tasting at our place, it was a revelation: the artists fell in love with Octave 2019. The partnership was born!
Some information about the vintage
The wine
Okto, in Greek, is the number eight. When a winemaker grows vines on a mountainside, he must adapt to the relief and create terraces: the grapes that make up Octave grow on eight different terraces. And so it was named.
A dry white made from small-grain muscat from Samos, it faithfully conveys to the glass the mineral expression of the island's rocks. The schist brings the salinity, the quartz the freshness (acidity), the volcanic rocks the austerity and the limestone the tension. The Muscat's iodine aromas are elegant, avoiding the heavy side of the grape variety. A complex and taut wine, prolonged by a mineral finish, Octave flourishes in a carafe and has strong aging potential.
Sous le Végétal, its island and its winemakers
Jason Ligas and Patrick Bouju, two leading figures in natural wine, are at the helm of the Culinaries Sous le Végétal estate, located on Samos, a volcanic and richly wooded island in the North Aegean archipelago. More precisely, the plots from which the Octave cuvée is made are located in the villages of Pagondas and Platanos, on the foothills and slopes of Mount Karvounis. The soils are schistose, limestone, quartzose, and basalt.
The Vines
The grape variety is Muscat à petits grains de Samos, grown organically in conversion to permaculture. The vines, pruned in the goblet style, are harvested by hand in the early morning, from July 23rd to September 15th.
Vinification
Free-run juice obtained by crushing, vinification without pumping over, aeration, or stabilization. Only settling and topping up are performed. Half of the wine is vinified in 750-liter amphorae and half in 1,400-liter Noblot concrete vats. The wine is unfiltered and free-run, bottled by gravity and transferred by peristaltic pump into black bottles, ensuring optimal aging. Aged in bottles with organic paraffin-free corks, sealed with a mixture of paraffin and black beeswax.
