Red Wines

Beaujolais Lancié, Red 2021

Domaine Bélicard

With this cuvée under the Beaujolais Villages appellation, Domaine Bélicard celebrates the purest and most direct expression of Gamay. Made from organically farmed vines on the granite terroir of Lancié, this still red wine is a fruit bomb, an ode to freshness and deliciousness, to be enjoyed without delay.

A natural wine that gets straight to the point

The hand-harvested grapes are vinified whole cluster, respecting natural practices: short maceration of a few days, spontaneous fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts, no enological inputs. The brief aging (one month) in concrete vats aims to preserve the aromatic brilliance and natural tension of the Gamay. No disguise, no heaviness: just fruit and honesty.

A juicy and expressive red

Upon opening, the nose imposes itself with a palette of crunchy red fruits: cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, with a small note of kirsch that adds a gourmet accent. On the palate, the texture is fluid, smooth, and highly drinkable. It's a striking wine, with a slightly peppery, fresh, and thirst-quenching finish.

The friend of good times

Served at 14–16 °C, Beaujolais Lancié 2021 will accompany friendly aperitifs, charcuterie platters, savory tarts, or grilled poultry. Its frankness makes it an excellent everyday companion. It can be kept for 3 to 5 years, but everything will push you to drink it young, as it sparkles with energy.

Les Longeroies is one of Marsannay's major terroirs and one of Sylvain Pataille's emblematic single-vineyard cuvées. Made from old Pinot Noir vines aged 60 to 80 years, this 2023 has more depth and concentration than the Marsannay village, while retaining much finesse. Black cherry, morello cherry, and fresh rose mingle with more complex notes of blond tobacco, leather, cocoa, and spices. The palate is velvety, fresh, and persistent, with a beautiful chalky minerality.

The wine benefits from 15 to 18 months of aging in barrels, with approximately 30% new oak. A great terroir wine, already alluring but built to evolve in the cellar. It will perfectly complement roasted pigeon, rib of beef, duck, feathered game, or mushrooms.

With Les Galets Roulés 2025, Domaine Bois Moisset offers a light and delicious red, true to the rustic and natural spirit of Sylvie Ledran and Philippe Maffre in Gaillac. This cuvée blends two emblematic grape varieties from the Southwest, Braucol and Duras, grown on rolled pebble soils. The nose is dominated by fresh red fruits, accompanied by herbaceous and slightly spicy notes. With only 11.1% alcohol, the palate is supple, crisp, and particularly digestible: a true thirst-quenching wine, but with enough character to accompany a meal.

The grapes are vinified in whole clusters, with a maceration that prioritizes fruit and freshness over extraction. This approach results in a lively, light, and immediately accessible red. Serve slightly chilled, around 16°C, as an aperitif or with a charcuterie board, grilled meats, barbecue sausages, or simple and generous cuisine.

Perill Noir is undoubtedly Clos Lentiscus's most emblematic cuvée. Made exclusively from Sumoll, an ancient Catalan grape variety, this red combines great freshness with astonishing depth. The nose reveals redcurrants, sour cherry, red flowers, wild herbs, and fine spices. The palate is delicate, slightly wild, driven by a beautiful tension and a long mineral finish.

Winemaking

100% Sumoll, maceration for approximately 15 days, fermentation with indigenous yeasts then 30 months aging in French oak barrels. Natural winemaking with very little intervention.

From the granite hillsides of Chénas, La Bruyère is a Gamay that is both delicate and profound. The nose reveals aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, violet, and a spicy touch. On the palate, the wine is ethereal, precise, and carried by a beautiful mineral tension, with silky tannins that extend into an elegant finish.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, whole cluster carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts. Aged in old barrels to preserve the purity of the fruit. Wine is unfined, unfiltered, and with very little, if any, added sulfites depending on the vintage.

Les Journets is a single-parcel cuvée that expresses a refined and energetic Gamay. The bouquet blends ripe red fruits, dried flowers, and a slight touch of warm stone. The palate offers a supple texture, fine tannins, and a fresh finish, marked by a beautiful minerality.

Winemaking

Manual harvesting, spontaneous fermentation with whole bunches, gentle carbonic maceration followed by aging in old barrels. Winemaking without fining or filtration, with minimal use of sulfur.

Les Petits Bois reveals a gourmet and luminous Gamay, with aromas of wild strawberry, morello cherry, and fresh flowers. The palate is crisp, juicy, and particularly digestible, supported by a beautiful tension that brings a lot of elegance to the whole.

Winemaking

Manual harvesting, carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts, then aging in old barrels to preserve the freshness of the fruit. Wine unfined, unfiltered, and lightly sulfited.

Mélo is an original blend of Gamay, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. This light and energetic wine offers a nose of crisp red berries and a supple, fresh, and delicious palate, where the fruit always remains at the forefront. A free-spirited, joyful, and particularly easy-to-share wine.

Winemaking

The grape varieties are co-fermented using carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place primarily in vats and old containers to preserve the wine's freshness. No fining or filtration.

Robert is a Gamay from old vines that seduces with its balance between concentration and finesse. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and violet are enhanced by a subtle spicy touch. The palate is deep yet always fresh, with silky tannins and a long, mineral finish.

Winemaking

Manual harvest, fermentation with indigenous yeasts in whole bunches, aging in old barrels. Unfined, unfiltered wine with a minimum of added sulfites only if necessary.

Pinot Noir Red 2022

Domaine Einhart
Pinot Noir—it's all in the title—is a red wine from the Alsatian terroir, organic (Ecocert and AB labels) and natural, made from Pinot Noir. Classified as AOC Alsace, it is a model of its kind, much fuller-bodied and robust than the average Alsatian Pinot Noir. A serious wine that makes you happy.

Vinification
The thirty-year-old Pinot Noirs from which this wine is made grow on the muschelkalk (shell limestone) terroirs of Dittelsberg-Albermohn and are harvested by hand, then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes place over two weeks. Aging for one year on fine lees, in demi-muids, precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any chemical additives or added sulfites.

Tasting
The deep, purplish color of this Pinot Noir from the Einhart estate evokes black cherry: it is a velvety, ripe red, 100% Pinot Noir, with an intense, fragrant, and gently fruity aroma. The first nose is enhanced by aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry) with a hint of freshness blended into a light vanilla woodiness. The second nose is more open, with aromas of blood orange, bitter almond, and kirsch. On the palate, the small fruits are still there, supported by present but well-melted tannins, and lead to a velvety finish resting on a lovely freshness. Plenty of persistence and length. Decant to express all its finesse and grace, and serve with red meats, roasts, stews, charcuterie and cured meats.

Learn more about Domaine Einhart
In the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, Domaine Einhart is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines grow on the foothills of the Vosges Mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, or shell limestone and oolitic limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone).

A family estate
Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking work to protecting the land and biodiversity, making wine without inputs, refusing harmful phytosanitary products, and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic (Ecocert and AB) since 2011. The estate produces white wines from maceration or direct pressing and a Pinot Noir red.

The best of Alsatian terroirs
Entirely manual harvests, destemming of the bunches, light punching down, and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees, and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are pure grapes, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of these very beautiful terroirs in the Vosges foothills.

Marty Red 2022

Danis dans la Vigne

A straightforward and fleshy Malbec, from an exceptional terroir

Marty 2022 is much more than just a wine: it's a vibrant tribute to the deep terroir of Cahors, and particularly to one of the most beautiful plots of the Danis estate in the vineyard. This Malbec, from clay-limestone soils, cultivated organically and without any synthetic chemicals, produces a dense, juicy, and profoundly sincere natural wine.

Short maceration, followed by 8 months of aging in stainless steel tanks, preserves the integrity of the fruit while revealing the finesse of the grape variety. With no added inputs and only indigenous yeasts, this wine respects the spirit of living wine, offering an elegant and clear expression of Malbec, far from heavy extractions and pronounced oakiness.

A vibrant, structured yet supple red

From the first pour, Marty 2022 displays a deep purple color with violet reflections. The nose is immediate, generous, blending aromas of ripe black fruits, candied fruit, and a subtle touch of leather, evoking the noble rusticity of the grape variety. On the palate, the attack is supple, followed by a beautiful, melted tannic structure, without harshness, and carried by a lovely freshness. It's a wine that is both gourmet and serious, perfect for accompanying grilled red meats, stews, or a fine cut of aged beef.

Serve between 16 and 18°C, it can be enjoyed now or aged 5 to 10 years in the cellar to gain even more complexity. A modern and lively Cahors, like a bridge between tradition and freedom.

Created exclusively for Culinaries, this cuvée is the result of a meticulous blend of several batches of Malbec, aged separately. A portion of the wine is aged in concrete vats to preserve the fruit's vibrancy and the grape variety's natural freshness, while another spends a year in barrels that have already held several wines, adding complexity and depth without masking the character of the terroir.

The result is a Cahors that is both precise and approachable, where aromas of ripe red fruits mingle with delicate smoky, herbaceous, and floral notes of violet. The palate is round, balanced, and supported by a beautiful freshness that prolongs the tasting experience. A contemporary interpretation of Malbec, true to the philosophy of Danis dans la Vigne: to produce lively, digestible wines that respect their environment.

Magma Rouge 2020 Magnum

Frank Cornelissen
Magma is Frank Cornelissen's classic red grand cru. Produced organically (Eurofeuille label) and biodynamically, and classified as DOP (AOP) Sicilia-IGP Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese, it is a wine for ageing, produced only in great vintages, when phenolic maturity has been reached. It comes from old, ungrafted Nerello Mascalese vines, planted in 1910 on the Barbabecchi contrada, at an altitude of 910 m, renowned for capturing the first rays of the sun in the cool of the morning. The magnum format enhances its depth and gives it even more breadth.

Vinification
This natural, organic, and biodynamic wine is obtained by sixty days of skin maceration of destemmed and lightly crushed grapes. No fining, no addition of sulfites. Light filtration before bottling.

Tasting
Magma restores the remarkable depth of Nerello Mascalese. Rich and elegant, with a dense texture, it has character, personality, and great finesse. More mineral than fruity, it offers notes of secondary fruits (blackberry, prune) and melted tannins. This great wine requires great dishes: we recommend stewed beef or coq au vin. So think about a can of Isabelle Leydier Delavallade or Fermiers du Bord de Sèvre.

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…

Munjebel FM Rouge 2020 Magnum

Frank Cornelissen
Munjebel FM, one of Frank Cornelissen's single-plot cuvées, is an organic (Eurofeuille), biodynamic, and natural red wine with DOP Etna Rosso and IGP Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese appellations. It comes from the vast contrada Feudo di Mezzo, specifically its upper part, known as Sottana. Its soil is deep, and the wines it produces are of an uncommon elegance typical of this region. The site is well-ventilated, but ideal ripeness is difficult to achieve in wet vintages. The magnum format amplifies the character of this wine and accentuates its roundness.

Vinification
The Nerello Mascalese harvest is destemmed, lightly crushed, and then macerated for 50 days on the skins. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 18 months in fiberglass vats and 18 months in bottles. It is not clarified but lightly filtered.

Tasting
An almost Burgundian elegance and roundness characterize this wine, even in warm vintages. A special vintage of great finesse, which adapts to the most varied dishes. Try it with all the cuisines of the South: Italian, Greek, Provençal… We would recommend a delicious cassoulet from Sillon to accompany it. Or simply a good black pig ham from Bigorre.

Cailloux Rouge 2022

Patrick Bouju
Cailloux is an organic and natural red wine from Patrick Bouju, with no added sulfites and sourced from the Auvergne terroir. Classified as a Vin de France, it is a wine extremely representative of its terroir and a fine example of the winemaker's refined expertise. The magnum format amplifies its natural character and further accentuates its depth.

Vinification
Cailloux comes from Patrick Bouju's old Pinot Noir vines located in Madargue, near Riom, in Limagne. The terroir is basaltic, clay-limestone, marl-limestone, and sandy. The grapes macerate in whole bunches, and during fermentation, 1% of the estate's Chardonnay press juice is added. The wine is aged for a year in sandstone amphorae and barrels.

Tasting
Cailloux lives up to its name: wild, smoky, long, and stony, with great aromatic persistence. Marked by intensely mineral notes: stone, metal. The fruit is present and juicy. The overall impression is dense and concentrated; the wine can be drunk now but will still have a few years to drink. Serving temperature: 14-16 °C. Open twenty minutes before tasting or decant. You can pair it with charcuterie, salted meats, beef and all kinds of local cuisine.

The fact that he likes to lend a hand to his winemaker friends in France and elsewhere only confirms his image as a role model, a leader. Its noble, chiseled, distinguished, never trivial wines are immediately recognizable in the glass.

Saint Romain Sous Roche Rouge 2018,

Domaine de Chassorney
The olfactory bouquet of this Saint-Romain "Sous Roche" offers notes of morello cherry and sweeter red fruits such as strawberry and pomegranate. On the palate, it displays superb structure, well-rounded tannins, and lovely notes of rustic, earthy red and black fruits. There is plenty of mid-palate concentration, aromas, energy, and length. The wine blossoms beautifully in the glass. This Saint-Romain "Sous Roche" is a pure Pinot Noir from a plot with a steep, south-southeast-facing terroir located between 280 and 400 meters above sea level in the Saint-Romain appellation. The soils are primarily marl, limestone, and clay. The grapes, from fifty-year-old vines, macerate in whole bunches. The aging is approximately one year in barrels.

To find out more
Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful viticultural practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for some time as a wine broker before creating the Chassorney estate with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne-Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine trading house and buys organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais crus. The practice is not limited to Burgundy, as vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura, Languedoc, and elsewhere. At his farm, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are tended according to biodynamic principles: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper, and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Red or white, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.

Romanissa 2023 is one of Tom Lubbe's most unique cuvées. Produced from old vines cultivated biodynamically on the cool heights of Roussillon, this cuvée perfectly illustrates the Matassa style: a free, vibrant, and highly energetic wine.

The nose develops vibrant aromas of fresh red fruits, pomegranate, tart cherry, and Mediterranean herbs, enhanced by a slightly spicy and floral touch. On the palate, the wine impresses with its finesse: the tannins are supple, the texture is fluid, and the omnipresent freshness makes it very drinkable. A luminous and digestible red, both precise, wild, and deeply Mediterranean.

Rouge 2023 is an emblematic vintage from Domaine Matassa, driven by Tom Lubbe's vision: to produce bright, digestible, and deeply vibrant wines from the South. Made primarily from very old Carignan vines grown biodynamically on the schist and clay soils of Calce, this wine expresses the unique singularity of the Matassa style: freshness where power is expected.

The nose opens with crisp red fruits, sour cherry, redcurrant, and some floral and herbaceous notes reminiscent of the garrigue. With aeration, deeper touches of sweet spices, pepper, and a slight wild dimension characteristic of the estate's natural winemaking appear. On the palate, the texture remains fluid, precise, and energetic, supported by fine tannins and a tension that lengthens the wine with great elegance. A vibrant red, very digestible and almost ethereal despite its Mediterranean roots.
