Red meat

Altanelle 2023

Danis in the vineyard

Altanelle 2023 is a red wine from the South-West that stays true to the style of Danis Bessières: natural, expressive, and light on its feet. Sourced from the family vineyard, which has been farmed organically since the 1980s, the wine emphasizes fresh fruit and low-intervention winemaking. The nose leans towards ripe red and black fruits, spices, and a subtle vegetal touch, while the palate remains supple, easy-drinking, and structured by fine tannins.

It is a versatile red, to be served at around 16°C, that will easily pair with artisanal charcuterie, grilled meats, roasts, or slow-cooked dishes. The house style remains very evident here: a lively and accessible Cahors, far removed from the overly heavy expressions often found in the region.

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.

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.

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.

Domaine Les Grandes Serres

With this 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée, Domaine Les Grandes Serres offers a rare and unique version of this prestigious appellation: a wine with no added sulfites, deeply rooted in its terroir, and made from a Grenache majority harvested on the characteristic rolled pebbles of the region.

The vinification, carried out with finesse, begins with destemmed maceration, favoring controlled extraction of aromas and tannins.

This natural wine, certified organic, explores the finesse and depth of this grape variety, often underestimated in the region, yet finding superb resonance in these poor, mineral soils.

Coming from vines grown on granitic soils, Pinot Noir finds a mineral tension and vibrant freshness here, far from clichés of opulence.

Amphore Rouge, 2023

Philippe Chatillon

With Amphore 2023, Philippe Chatillon delivers a rare and unique red cuvée, blending the typicality of the Jura with an ancestral aging method. This certified organic natural wine, classified as Vin de France, comes from a subtle blend of Pinot Noir and Trousseau, two emblematic grape varieties of the Jura, grown on clay-limestone soils and vinified with a spirit of purity and respect for the fruit.

After a short one-week maceration, the wine is aged for two years in amphorae (qvevris), these terracotta jars traditionally used in Georgia. This aging choice allows for slow and natural oxygenation, without the transfer of woody aromas, thus preserving the frankness of the fruit, the floral delicacy, and the complexity of the wine.

On the nose, Amphore 2023 immediately captivates: crisp red fruits, violet, a fresh herbaceous note, and a slightly earthy touch that recalls the very material of the amphora. On the palate, it is a light, fluid, yet structured wine, with a natural tension and a beautiful aromatic persistence. The balance between the finesse of Pinot Noir and the vitality of Trousseau is remarkable, supported by an aging process that acts as a revealer rather than a disguise.

At the table, this vibrant red will accompany grilled red meats, root vegetable dishes, or fine charcuterie. It will express itself fully at around 12 to 14°C, after decanting, and can be kept for 5 to 10 years.

With this cuvée, Philippe Chatillon creates an author's red wine, free and inspired, where the terroir of the Jura meets the millennial wisdom of amphora winemaking.

Morey Saint Denis les Champs de la Vigne Qvevris Red 2022

Fréderic Cossard

This great organic and natural red Burgundy wine is produced by Frédéric Cossard. Made entirely from Pinot Noir (a Pinot Fin variety), it is produced in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation and comes from the "Les Champs de la Vigne" climate. Its distinctive feature is its terracotta aging, which suits it well.

Vinification

The vines grow on a clay-limestone plot and are around sixty years old. They are made from Pinot Fin grapes, an old strain of Pinot Noir that is increasingly rare in Burgundy. The harvest macerates in whole bunches and the wine is aged in qvevri (Georgian-style terracotta jars) for at least a year. This maturation gives it a velvety patina and allows its red fruit aromas to flourish.

Tasting

Typical of the Morey-Saint-Denis climate, this Champs de la Vigne is a powerful and complex wine, offering notes of violet and red fruits. It expresses opulent fruit and remarkable minerality. Great elegance and finesse, silky and satiny with a lovely earthy and mineral nuance. The qvevri accentuates its fruitiness and the melting tannins. It will be a pleasure to pair it with grilled duck breast, grilled meats, beef, charcuterie and salted meats.

It comes from several exceptional plots, notably those used for the estate's vintages, such as Zottorinoto-Chiusa Spagnolo, Feudo di Mezzo-Porcaria, and Pontale Palino, as well as from vines specifically dedicated to this cuvée (Rampante Sottana, Piano Daini, and Crasà).

The nose is a true olfactory journey, revealing aromas of wild red fruits, black cherry, and raspberry, accompanied by subtle spicy and mineral notes, indicative of the basaltic influence of the soil.

He wrote in particular about the joys that wine brings, among other pleasures of life.
