Covenant Red 2020

Danis dans la Vigne

An exceptional Malbec, matured in the silence of the cellar

Covenant 2020 embodies the philosophy of long-term patience. A truly unique cuvée by Danis dans la Vigne, crafted with rare precision. This 100% Malbec, organically grown on the clay-limestone soils of deep Cahors, is naturally vinified without unnecessary oenological intervention, with a short maceration, then aged for three years in barrels, topped up only once a year. This demanding, bold method allows the wine to concentrate, oxidize slowly, and round out in a near-oxidative dynamic, before a year in stainless steel tanks, then a year of rest in the bottle.

A mature, complex, accomplished wine that contrasts with the sometimes raw image of Malbec. Covenant lives up to its name: a true pact between time, matter, and the winemaker's craft.

Deep, enveloping, meditative

Upon serving, the wine reveals a dark color with deep garnet reflections. The nose is captivating: bitter cocoa, sweet spices, stewed black fruit, truffle, almost a hint of leather. On the palate, it's a unique experience. The texture is velvety, full-bodied, yet perfectly balanced. The length is remarkable, persistent, with a saline finish. One senses a wine in full maturity, ready to be enjoyed, but also built for aging.

Covenant 2020 is perfect for noble red meats, game, a truffle dish, or even a dark chocolate dessert for the most adventurous. Serve at 16-18°C, without decanting, in a large glass that allows it time to breathe.

Gigondas Red 2022

Les Grandes Serres

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Nestled in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Gigondas terroir asserts itself with its quiet strength and raw beauty. Here, in this fiery enclave of the Southern Rhône Valley, the vines find refuge on steep, stony slopes, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the mistral wind. This poor and demanding soil, a mixture of marl and limestone, gives rise to grapes of rare intensity.
In this 2022 vintage, Les Grandes Serres presents a cuvée driven by a classic and remarkably effective duo: Grenache, the sun-drenched king of the south, which dominates the blend, and Syrah, which brings tension and depth. Together, they express the wild and sensual soul of this emblematic terroir.

Cultivation methods

True to a respectful approach to living things, Les Grandes Serres crafts this Gigondas using natural winemaking methods, without artifice, allowing the grapes to express themselves freely. The vines are cultivated in harmony with natural balances, without synthetic products, with meticulous care given to each vine. The harvest is done by hand, selecting grapes at perfect ripeness, guaranteeing healthy and concentrated raw materials. In the cellar, aging is carefully controlled with restraint, without masking the wine's personality, to preserve its original freshness and lusciousness.

Tasting & pairings

The 2022 Gigondas from Grandes Serres is a true explosion of pleasure. From the first sniff, it seduces with its intense aromas of ripe red fruits, crushed strawberry, juicy cherry, which mingle with notes of wild thyme, dark chocolate and a slightly smoky, almost meaty touch.
On the palate, it's a wave of generosity: ample, velvety, but never heavy. Natural freshness balances the richness of the fruit, and the finish lingers on melted tannins, with a touch of salinity that begs for another sip. A "bombshell of deliciousness," certainly, but also a wine of character, with depth and true elegance.

Ideal for accompanying a summer barbecue with friends, a beautiful platter of artisanal charcuterie, or a grilled piece of red meat, this Gigondas is both approachable and refined. Served slightly chilled, it will also surprise with its lightness despite its 15% alcohol content, proving that power can indeed be drinkable.

A sincere, vibrant wine that warmly and generously expresses its terroir.

i Vicini Moscato White 2021

Jean Yves Peron

I Vicini Moscato is an organic, biodynamic, and natural macerated (orange) dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron. Vinified in Savoie from Muscat d'Asti. It is part of the I Vicini series of cuvées, vinified in Savoie from organic grapes from Northern Italy. The muscats grow on very fine limestone soils, calcareous-magnesian, on a particularly cool site.

Vinification

The Muscat d'Asti grapes, harvested manually at good phenolic maturity, macerate for three months in vats on the skins, with punching down. Racking off in January, aging for one year in 300 l barrels. No filtration, fining or addition of sulfites.

Tasting

Straightness, tension and freshness: this very fine mountain Muscat offers the aromatic and musky nose specific to the grape variety, without any syrupy notes. A very present tannic structure balances the whole. On the palate, it is rich and powerful; we find the charming scent of Muscat in the retro-olfaction, but with the tension and freshness that Jean-Yves Péron favors for his dry whites. It’s a great table wine, not really for an aperitif, but for gastronomy, no limits.

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, steep surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semicarbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then sent to two- or three-wine barrels for twelve months of aging on lees, before blending and resting in the vat. 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.

Terre Mere Red 2021,

Clos des B

Equipped with the Écocert organic label, Terre Mère is a natural red wine, with no added sulfites, from the Clos des B estate, located in the Bay of Saint-Tropez. Red and especially black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry) abound on the nose and palate. The wine is structured and tannic, but the tannins are supple and well-integrated, and the finish includes a very seductive note of bitter almond. It resembles an Amarone, but without the cooking note, with much more fresh fruit and freshness despite its overripeness. Terre Mère presents a beautiful liveliness upon opening, but we do not recommend decanting. It gains dimension and breadth at the end of the bottle. It comes from the finest grapes, plot by plot and vine by vine, which have been isolated vine by vine to be brought to this overripeness.

Why “Mother Earth”?

The name Mother Earth is a tribute, through the terroir, to Pacha Mama, the great earthly divinity. One clearly perceives through the tasting the producer’s desire to stick to the terroir, to extract its quintessence, in addition to the resolution to add no input to the vineyard or the cellar. This mature and evolved typicity (15% alcohol) results from particular winemaking methods: Mother Earth, a red wine in AOP Côtes-de-Provence, is composed of 50% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 30% Mourvèdre harvested overripe in September. Vinification is carried out 90% in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and 10% in open barrels. Foot-punching is performed, as well as a few small pumping overs. Malolactic fermentation is complete. The wine is aged in 600-liter barrels and in 228-liter barrels previously used for several wines. No sulfites are added, neither in the vineyard, nor during vinification, nor at bottling. To discover other wines from the terroirs of Provence, also explore the Domaine des Grandes Serres, in the Southern Côtes-du-Rhône. And to accompany this beautiful wine, why not slice a beautiful sausage from Maison Montalet?

Learn more about Clos des B

Clos des B (initials of the two owners) is an organic and natural wine estate located in Grimaud, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Gwendolyn Berger and Jean-Jacques Branger are the proud producers of the very first natural cuvées from this geographical area. Before the two Bs bought these three hectares of vines, all these wines went to the cooperative cellar of the Vignerons de Saint-Tropez. Driven by a "thirst for vines," as they say, Gwendolyn and Jean-Jacques overcame administrative difficulties, restored the vineyard, and soon produced reds, rosés, and even a blanc de noirs. Their grape varieties are typical of the region: Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, growing on schist sands crisscrossed by quartz veins. The property benefits from a microclimate that protects the vines from humidity, disease, and frost. The viticulture and winemaking approach resolutely embraces organic (the estate is under the Écocert label, applied for in 2020), biodynamics, and natural methods. The wines are made without added sulfites, fining, or filtration. The wines of Clos des B are a true reflection of their terroir and climate: fresh, fruity, and very pleasant to drink, beautiful natural wines from the terroir of Provence.

Magnum Munjebel MC Red 2013,

Frank Cornelissen

The color is superbly intense, a deep, saturated red. Notes of red rose and wild red berries are very pronounced and powerful. A rich texture, body, and depth, with a rich and aromatic palate supported by fresh acidity. This is an already venerable vintage of this pure Nerello Mascalese, which comes from the Contrada Monte Colla (the meaning of the initials MC), 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 the hermitage of Etna. The harvest is destemmed and lightly crushed, then macerated for sixty days. No fining, light filtration before bottling.

To find out more
A key figure in natural wine, a universally respected figure in this category of wines, Frank Cornelissen is a classic. This man of constant questioning lives in human and cosmic resonance with his contrasting terroir: he has demonstrated that the powerful minerality of a great volcanic soil could be highlighted by the naturalness of his wines. The brilliance, the directness and the exquisite fruitiness of his vintages earn him the admiration even of those reluctant to go "natural." They are good introductory wines.
His Sicilian azienda is located in Passopisciaro, in the northern Etna valley. It is, he says, the "Night Coast" of Etna for the great diversity of its wines spread over many locations (contrade) at different altitudes. The climate is continental and harsh, even snowy, in winter, but very warm and sunny from June to September. The altitude gives the wines tension and elegance. The vines coexist with a Mediterranean polyculture: olive trees, almond trees, vegetable gardens... (Frank also produces olive oil). The age of the vines ranges from forty years to over one hundred years. The plots, nineteen in number, on twenty-four hectares in total, are all at altitude, between 600 and 900 meters, on several volcanic flows. They are all vinified separately: Frank decides on the blend based on the quality of the wines from each plot. In general, seven or eight vintages are made in addition to the generic wines (rosé, basic red and white). The soils are made up of different types of basalt, between powder and rock, with perfect drainage that allows for the production of concentrated and fine wines.
Nerello Mascalese dominates the estate's grape varieties. This great traditional red grape variety from the northern valley of Etna is the only grape variety used in the great vintages. Its growing cycle is long, which allows the vine to work the soil and capture its minerality in the fruit. Other grape varieties include: Nerello Capuccio, Minella Bianco, Minella Nera, Alicante Bouschet, Malvasia, Cattaratto, Moscadella, Grecanico Dorato, Carricante…

Saint Joseph Cuvée Madloba Red 2020

Paul Estève

Rhône Valley - Saint-Joseph AOC AOP

The fruit is dense, clean, and precise, the tannins are fine, smooth, and full of freshness, and the minerality is subtle. Even the intensity of a Rhône Syrah reveals that "taste of water," that thirst-quenching fluidity that is the hallmark that Chrystelle Vareille and Paul Estève seek to give to their wines. With its floral and spicy notes, its mineral tension over a full texture and intense sapidity, this wine is reminiscent of Georgian qvevri wines aged in terracotta. Madloba ("thank you" in Georgian), in AOP Saint-Joseph, is a 100% Syrah. The vines, almost forty years old, are planted at an altitude of 350 meters, on a hillside plot with granite and black mica soils. The harvest ferments in tinajas, unburied terracotta jars, and after pressing the wine returns to the tinaja for a year of aging. This aging method enhances the wine's texture, softens the tannins, and develops the fruit. As versatile as it is for pairings, Madloba red can do anything.

Paul Estève and Chrystelle Vareille are the creators of the Domaine des Miquettes, whose great specialty is the use of Georgian techniques. They are passionate about this Caucasian country, the cradle of wine, where eight-thousand-year-old winemaking techniques are still used. At the heart of this viticulture is the qvevri, the buried jar where all the winemaking takes place: fermentation with skin maceration and aging. They set out to explore this country and returned with the decision to age all their wines in buried jars. They have twenty-six, but distinguish between tinajas (Spanish jars) for fermentation-maceration and buried "amphorae" for aging. No sulfur is added. For both reds and whites, the terracotta erases astringency and transmutes it into a velvety texture, a fruity and supple material.

The estate, located in Ardèche, is south of the Saint-Joseph appellation. Paul trained with René-Jean Dard and François Ribo, two great figures of natural wine in the Rhône Valley. With Chrystelle, he began by taking over Paul's family farm with two ares of vines, then in 2004 the entire estate, which now covers 4.3 hectares. The white grape varieties are located around the house, the red grape varieties are planted on steep hillsides, between 300 and 450 meters above sea level. The plots rest on a granite base with light soils: black mica granite, schist and gneiss. Everything is cultivated organically (Ecocert) with biodynamic practices. The vines are cared for and fortified using plant decoctions and clay. The soils are worked by horse or winch and pickaxe. No chemical inputs are added to the vineyard work. The harvest is entirely manual.

Saint-Romain Sous Roche Qvevris Red 2018

Frederic Cossard

This Pinot Noir from the Qvevris series (aged in Georgian-style terracotta jars) comes from a plot whose sloping terroir, facing south-southeast, is located between 280 and 400 meters above sea level in the Saint-Romain appellation. The soils are mainly marl, limestone and clay. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Plenty of fruit and roundness supported by a sumptuous minerality. The Pinot Noir benefits greatly from the velvety texture brought by aging in qvevri.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Magnum Rosso Red 2011

Le Coste

This generous Italian red is made from a blend composed primarily of Grechetto (a local variety related to Sangiovese), with the secondary grape varieties being Cannaiolo, Colorino, Ciliegiolo, and Vaiano, indigenous varieties planted in the vineyards on the volcanic soils of the Le Coste estate. Fermentation lasts about a month in French oak and chestnut vats. Rosso is then aged in Slovenian oak barrels. At first glance, a beautiful ruby color, a crisp and juicy palate, with notes of red and black fruits.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Among the most renowned terroirs of Marsannay, Clos du Roy gives birth to one of Sylvain Pataille's most ambitious cuvées. Grown on limestone and sandstone soils, the Pinot Noir here reveals a deep and refined expression: cherry, raspberry, peony, and black fruits are accompanied by delicate spices. The palate combines intensity and finesse, with perfectly integrated tannins, a silky texture, and a remarkable mineral framework.

The grapes are hand-harvested and then fermented with their indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged on fine lees for 15 to 18 months in barrels, about 35% of which are new wood. More structured than the Marsannay village, Clos du Roy has real aging potential and will gain even more complexity with time. Serve with a fine cut of beef, pigeon, guinea fowl, duck, or game.

Short description: One of Marsannay's great terroirs interpreted by Sylvain Pataille. A deep and silky Pinot Noir, with notes of cherry, raspberry, peony, and spices, supported by superb minerality.

Yoga Red 2021

Justine Vigne

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

It is in the heart of the Rhône Valley, on a terroir freely interpreted under the "Vin de France" label, that Justine Vigne crafts Yoga 2021. A 100% Syrah cuvée, cultivated with passion on sun-drenched soils, where the vines draw their strength from the rock and time. This choice of a free appellation allows the winemaker to express, without constraint, the full richness of her grapes, remaining true to the identity of her vineyard and her artisanal vision of winemaking.

Cultivation methods

At Justine Vigne, the vines are cultivated with the utmost respect for life. Using certified organic farming methods, each vine is tended by hand, with a gentle and intuitive approach. The harvest is exclusively manual, selecting only the finest grapes at perfect ripeness. Fermentation occurs naturally, thanks to the indigenous yeasts present on the berries, without the addition of sulfites, fining, or filtration: a radically pure approach that allows the fruit and the vintage to speak for themselves. Yoga is a living, authentic wine that reflects, without artifice, the work in the soil and the soul of the place.

Tasting & pairings

Dense and structured, Yoga 2021 presents a deep, velvety robe. From the first sniff, the wine seduces with enveloping aromas of ripe black fruits – blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant – followed by a touch of toasted almond and subtle roasted notes reminiscent of cocoa or coffee. On the palate, the attack is ample, the texture generous, supported by smooth tannins and a beautiful tension that balances the richness of the fruit. The finish, persistent and warm, leaves an impression of harmony and fullness.

This characterful red wine pairs beautifully with regional cuisine: beef stew with olives, roast leg of lamb, mushroom gratin, or a selection of mature cheeses. For those with more patience, a few years of cellaring will allow it to gain complexity and depth. Yoga is a wine that is both grounded and vibrant, inviting you to disconnect and enjoy yourself, in a perfect balance between power and elegance.

Ultreia Red 2021

Justine Vigne

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

In the heart of the Rhône Valley, in an area untouched by conventional classifications, Justine Vigne is forging her own path. Labeled "Vin de France," but bearing a strong identity, Ultreia Rouge 2021 tells the story of a terroir shaped by sun, stone, and the spirit of the land. The grapes come from carefully selected plots, where Grenache and Cinsault, both derived from biodynamically cultivated Syrah vines, find their natural balance. This unique blend gives Ultreia its distinctive character, a harmonious blend of generous fruit and vibrant energy.

Cultivation methods

Justine Vigne cultivates much more than just vines: she embodies a philosophy. Every action in the vineyard is deliberate, respectful, and in harmony with the lunar cycles and the energies of life. Organic certification (AB) is just the starting point: her plots thrive biodynamically, without synthetic products, using homemade compost and plant infusions. This artisanal, patient, and sincere approach is reflected in every drop of wine, like a subtle echo of the slow pace of pilgrims.

Tasting & pairings

Ultreia Rouge 2021 opens like a whispered promise: a deep, almost velvety red robe already hints at the generosity of the fruit. The nose is a stroll through the hills: ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, black fig, enhanced by notes of garrigue, sweet spices, and a touch of toasted almond. A saline minerality aerates the whole, like a breath on the skin.

On the palate, the magic happens. The tannins are fine, silky, almost caressing. The wine glides smoothly, juicy, easy to drink, carried by a mouthwatering freshness that invites a second glass. Here, you find all of Justine's sincerity, her desire to let the land speak for itself, without artifice.

Ultreia is a wine for sharing, for a table set under the stars, for laughter around grilled meats, plates of charcuterie, for moments where life is enjoyed without haste.

"Ultreia," the pilgrims used to say: beyond, ever further. This wine is an encouragement to continue, to marvel, to celebrate what unites us. A handcrafted, poetic, and joyfully human vintage.

Le Serret 1826 Red 2021

Justine Vigne

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

In the sun-drenched heart of the Southern Rhône Valley, where the rounded pebbles hold the memory of warm days and cool nights, Le Serret 1826 is born , a red wine with a name steeped in emotion and history. Behind this 100% Carignan cuvée lies much more than a simple vintage: a vibrant tribute to the family roots of Justine Vigne, a passionate winemaker who has crafted a profound, deeply rooted, and sincere wine. The name “1826” evokes the year the Vigne family settled in Richerenches , while “Le Serret” designates the very first plot of the estate, planted in 1955 by Justine’s grandfather, as an act of faith in the land and in time.

This Carignan, an often-overlooked grape variety, regains its full nobility here, magnified by a sunny and windy terroir, conducive to a pure and structured expression. The soil, nourished by history and silence, allows the fruit to speak with intensity.

Cultivation methods

True to an artisanal approach and respect for all living things, Justine Vigne cultivates her vines organically , with meticulous attention to every detail. Soil work is gentle, interventions measured, allowing the vines to express themselves freely. In the vineyard as in the cellar, the philosophy is clear: do not rush anything, work with the natural elements, preserve their identity. The winemaking, precise and unadorned, aims for accuracy, sincerity, and the inner light of the fruit. Thus, Le Serret 1826 stands as an ode to patience and fidelity to its origins.

Tasting & pairings

From the moment it's opened, Le Serret 1826 – vintage 2021 – unfolds a dense and captivating nose: patinated leather , ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, and a spicy undertone reminiscent of garrigue after the rain. On the palate, the wine asserts its structure , without heaviness, with a mouthwatering freshness that lengthens the finish and invites indulgence. The wine is clean, taut, and precise, revealing a rare balance between intensity and elegance.

This wine calls for generous and characterful dishes: grilled meats , artisanal charcuterie , mature cheeses , and juicy red meats . It pairs wonderfully with a wood-fired ribeye steak or a plate of well-aged tomme cheese, revealing all its nuances in dialogue with the dish.

With Le Serret 1826 , Justine Vigne delivers a wine of memory and conviction, a wine of lineage and place, which touches the heart with its sincerity as much as its mastery. A bottle that doesn't just tell a story: it brings it to life, sip after sip.

Produced from the estate's oldest vines, Cuvée du Chaos is Yann Bertrand's most ambitious wine. Despite its concentration, it retains all the delicacy typical of Fleurie, with aromas of raspberry, cherry, violet, and sweet spices. An ethereal, complex, and vibrant Gamay, prioritizing elegance over power.
