Munjebel VA Red 2020 Magnum
Frank Cornelissen
Made from pure Sicilian Nerello Mascalese (PDO/DOP Etna Rosso and PGI Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese appellations), Munjebel VA is an organic (Eurofeuille), biodynamic, and natural red wine produced by Frank Cornelissen. It is a blend of the estate's three highest vineyards (Vigne Alte), rich in biodiversity: Tartaraci (1,000 m above sea level), Rampante Soprana (870 m), and Barbabecchi (910 m). The soils are basaltic and the vines, ungrafted, are on average 90 years old.
Vinification
The Nerello Mascalese grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed before a 50-day fermentation-maceration on the skins. The wine is aged for 18 months in vats and 18 months in bottle. No fining, light filtration.
Tasting
Munjebel VA is the estate's most Burgundian vintage, with the most pronounced acidity. Balanced, structured, gastronomic, and easy to drink, it offers plenty of crisp fruit, without ever falling into facile taste. This wine magnificently expresses the excellence and precision of the old, ungrafted Nerello Mascalese vines located on the high terraces of Etna's northern valley. The magnum format further accentuates its characteristics and makes it more polished and rounder. At the table, it goes with everything, and especially with a good roast poultry, to be chosen from the Ferme du Vidalies or the Collectif de la Noire d’Astarac-Bigorre.
Learn more about Frank Cornelissen
A key and universally respected figure in natural, organic and biodynamic wine, the Belgian Frank Cornelissen, a winemaker conquered by Sicily, is a classic. This man of constant questioning lives in human and cosmic resonance with his terroir: he has demonstrated that the powerful minerality of a great volcanic soil could be highlighted by the naturalness of his wines.
An ideal terroir for plot-by-plot vinification
In Passopisciaro, Sicily, in the north of the Etna valley, the 19 plots cover 24 hectares of basalt soils spread over numerous localities (contrade) between 600 and 900 meters above sea level on the side of the volcano. It is, says Frank Cornelissen, the "Night Coast of Sicily". Frank Cornelissen's contrade are all cultivated biodynamically and vinified separately: he decides on the blends based on the quality of each.
The nobility of Nerello Mascalese
Nerello Mascalese is the dominant variety and alone makes up the greatest vintages. This traditional red grape variety from the northern Etna valley produces hypermineral wines due to its long growing cycle. Other grape varieties in the azienda: Nerello Capuccio, Minella Bianco, Minella Nera, Alicante Bouschet, Malvasia, Catarratto, Moscadella, Grecanico Dorato, Carricante…
Cuvée YARD Rouge 2022
Les Souriants
With YARD 2022, Les Souriants estate offers an original and captivating interpretation of Pinot Noir in Beaujolais, a region more accustomed to Gamay expressions. This natural red wine, certified organic, is a pure artisanal product, crafted with care and patience to offer a luminous and sincere expression of the grape variety, without embellishment or artifice.
Coming from vines grown on granitic soils, Pinot Noir finds a mineral tension and vibrant freshness here, far from clichés of opulence. The winemaking remains gentle and precise: a one-month maceration to delicately extract color, aromas, and structure, followed by one year of aging in old barrels, without new wood, to preserve the finesse of the fruit.
On the nose, it's a floral and fruity explosion: crunchy cherry, candied red fruits, fresh rose. A fine and expressive aromatic profile that extends to the palate with a beautiful texture, supple but structured. The wine combines a delicate, almost silky touch with fresh and digestible energy. The finish is straight, clean, slightly saline, leaving a persistent floral sensation in the mouth.
YARD is an elegant red, perfect for aperitifs, roasted meats, pigeon with reduced jus, or even a beautiful vegetarian dish with mushrooms. It can be enjoyed now, without decanting, or aged serenely for 5 years. Served between 16 and 18°C, it reveals the full potential of Pinot Noir in a reinvented Beaujolais, between artisanal precision and free spirit.
Camille Rouge 2022
Jean-Pierre Robinot
With Camille 2022, Jean-Pierre Robinot crafts one of his most profound and elegant cuvées. This natural red wine, made from Pineau d'Aunis grown on flint soils, perfectly embodies the winemaker's touch: a free, inspired, unadorned approach that allows the terroir and grape variety to express themselves without filter. Here, there is no official label, but a rigorous approach: soil work without chemicals, winemaking without exogenous yeasts or enological additives, and a long, patient aging process.
Maceration, which can last from 1 to 8 months depending on the expression of each vintage and each plot, gives this cuvée remarkable aromatic intensity and an extraordinary texture. The 2-year aging in old barrels enhances the whole, bringing patina and depth without ever masking the fruit.
The captivating nose combines ripe red and black fruits, sweet spices, peppery notes, herbaceous touches, and a hint of fine caramel that evokes the slow evolution in the barrel. On the palate, the wine surprises with its tactile lightness, almost airy, despite its concentration. The tannins are melted, the structure is straight, and the finish lingers, with a mineral vibration marked by flint.
Camille is a gastronomic wine par excellence, to be paired with grilled red meats, spiced dishes, or even roasted game. It can be enjoyed today after decanting, but will gain even more complexity over 10 years and beyond. Served at around 14 to 16°C, it will reveal all the poetry of a great Pineau d'Aunis aged with patience and precision.
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.

Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron skillfully embodies 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 and steep surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, do not receive any 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 from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.
