The wine is bottled for six months before being released.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.
Saint Joseph Cuvée Madloba Red 2020
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.

Belonging to a family established since 1601 in the Alsatian wine-growing village of Mittelbergheim, the Armand Gilg estate bears the name of its founder, who resolutely oriented the family business towards viticulture in 1937. Since then, the Gilgs have remained in charge, having expanded the vineyard from an initial one hectare to twenty-nine hectares, purchased centuries-old cellars for bottles and tuns, and built buildings for pressing and other winemaking activities. The estate, classified as HVE (High Environmental Value) for several years, acquired organic farming certification in 2021. Its plots, scattered around the village, are grouped into around a hundred groups, including five hectares on the famous Grand Cru of Zotzenberg, one of the most renowned lieux-dits in Alsace, and one hectare planted solely with Riesling on the Grand Cru Moenchberg. Production embraces all seven traditional Alsatian grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer), also including Chardonnay for the Crémants and the Klevener de Heiligenstein (Savagnin Rose). While all the vintages of the Gilg estate are organic, two natural vintages are produced, one based on Pinot Noir, the other on Sylvaner, within the Les Spontanés series dedicated to wines without additives.
Antenet Cahors Rouge 1998
Danis dans la Vigne
Une pépite de cave, entre héritage familial et profondeur du temps
Voici un vin rare, presque confidentiel, qui raconte une histoire avant même d’être ouvert. Antenet 1998 est une cuvée unique, vinifiée il y a plus de vingt-cinq ans par le père de Danis, l’actuel vigneron du domaine Danis dans la vigne. Ce Cahors d’un autre temps, issu à 100 % de Malbec, a été élaboré dans le respect des traditions et avec une philosophie déjà très proche du naturel : courte macération, élevage en cuve béton pendant deux ans, aucun maquillage œnologique.
Le sol argilo-calcaire typique du vignoble de Cahors donne ici un vin de garde par excellence, aux tanins polis par le temps et à l’aromatique d’une grande richesse. À 12 % d’alcool seulement, il défie les standards modernes par son équilibre, sa fraîcheur et sa longévité exceptionnelle.
Un vin profond, patiné, chargé de mémoire
Après plus de deux décennies de repos, Antenet 1998 révèle une robe grenat tuilée, aux reflets bruns. Le nez, complexe et envoûtant, dévoile des arômes de fruits noirs compotés, de pruneau, de tabac blond, avec une pointe de sous-bois. En bouche, la matière est fondue, ample, d’une suavité rare. Ce vin évoque une époque révolue, mais reste d’une gourmandise saisissante, parfait sur des viandes rôties, du gibier ou un plat riche en umami.
Servi à 16-18°C, sans besoin de carafage, ce vin est prêt à être dégusté. C’est une archive liquide, un trésor familial, à découvrir comme on lirait une lettre du passé.
Pineau Bio 2015 Blanc
Terroir, parcellaire et encépagement
C’est au cœur des terres calcaires de Cognac, dans cette région où le ciel et la vigne s’accordent depuis des siècles, qu’Alain Chadutaud cultive avec passion son Ugni-Blanc. Sur un sol argilo-calcaire typique, les racines puisent la fraîcheur et la minéralité nécessaires à l’expression d’un Pineau blanc tout en équilibre. Le millésime 2015, baigné de soleil et tempéré par les brises atlantiques, a permis une maturation parfaite des raisins, donnant naissance à une cuvée généreuse et précise.
Méthodes culturales
Fidèle à une philosophie respectueuse du vivant, Alain Chadutaud travaille en biodynamie, avec une attention constante portée à la vitalité des sols et à l’équilibre de la vigne. Aucun intrant de synthèse, mais des pratiques douces, un travail du sol minutieux et des préparations naturelles pour soutenir la plante tout au long de son cycle. La vendange, réalisée à pleine maturité, précède l’assemblage subtil du jus de raisin et de l’eau-de-vie de Cognac maison, selon le savoir-faire traditionnel du Pineau des Charentes. Le vieillissement se fait lentement, en fûts, afin de développer cette complexité aromatique si caractéristique.
Dégustation & accords
Dès le premier nez, le Pineau Bio 2015 s’ouvre sur un bouquet charmeur de fruits confits, d’abricot sec et de miel d’acacia, souligné par une pointe d’amande douce. En bouche, la magie opère : l’attaque est vive, presque citronnée, puis vient une rondeur miellée qui caresse le palais, soutenue par une trame acidulée qui évite toute lourdeur. L’équilibre est parfait, la persistance remarquable, laissant en finale une sensation de fraîcheur et de gourmandise.
C’est un pineau de caractère, à la fois solaire et tonique, idéal à l’apéritif, servi frais avec des amuse-bouches aux notes iodées ou des feuilletés au fromage. Il accompagne aussi avec noblesse un foie gras mi-cuit, dont il souligne la richesse sans l’écraser. Côté dessert, il s’accorde magnifiquement avec une tarte amandine, un fondant au chocolat noir ou même un roquefort bien affiné pour une expérience sucrée-salée intense.
Le Pineau Bio 2015 d’Alain Chadutaud est bien plus qu’un apéritif : c’est une invitation à découvrir un terroir vivant, une vision artisanale et une maîtrise du temps qui s’exprime dans chaque verre.
Crapaud Licorne, Rouge 2024
Danis dans la vigne
Sous ce nom plein de malice se cache une cuvée sérieusement inspirée : Crapaud Licorne, c’est la vision libre et naturelle d’un Cahors moderne, tout en éclat et en sincérité. Produit par « Danis dans la vigne », vigneron-artisan engagé, ce 100 % Malbec bouscule les codes d’une appellation souvent associée à la puissance. Ici, on mise sur la finesse, l’éclat du fruit et la liberté d’expression.
Un Malbec pur, une vinification précise
Les raisins proviennent de sols argilo-calcaires typiques du terroir lotois, travaillés selon les principes de l’agriculture biologique (certifiée AB). Après une macération douce de deux semaines, la fermentation s’effectue naturellement, sans intrants œnologiques ni levures ajoutées. L’élevage de neuf mois en cuves inox préserve toute la fraîcheur et l’énergie du raisin, donnant naissance à un vin vivant, digeste et profondément sincère.
Un profil élégant et racé
À la dégustation, Crapaud Licorne révèle une robe sombre aux reflets violacés. Le nez s’ouvre sur des arômes de fruits noirs (cassis, mûre), de poivre et de notes légèrement herbacées. En bouche, la texture est fine, presque soyeuse, avec une belle maturité et une finale fraîche et épicée. Les tanins sont présents mais délicats, équilibrant parfaitement la gourmandise du fruit.
Compagnon des belles tablées
Carafé une heure avant service, entre 14 et 16°C, ce vin accompagne avec brio les plats mijotés, grillades ou charcuteries artisanales. Il pourra également vieillir de 5 à 10 ans en cave, gagnant en complexité tout en conservant son esprit libre.
Le Sage Vagnin, Blanc 2023
Philippe Chatillon
Le Sage Vagnin 2023 est une cuvée précieuse, confidentielle et empreinte de sagesse. Seulement 800 bouteilles produites chaque année, toutes issues d’un petit clos planté de vignes de Savagnin âgées de 65 ans, enracinées profondément dans les marnes grises jurassiennes. Cette rareté est le fruit du travail précis et inspiré de Philippe Chatillon, vigneron sensible au vivant, dont le domaine est certifié en agriculture biologique, et situé dans le berceau du cépage, à Arbois.
Vinifié en pressurage direct puis élevé deux ans en barriques anciennes, ce vin blanc AOC Arbois se distingue par sa pureté aromatique et sa rondeur équilibrée. Aucun bois neuf, aucun intrant : juste le raisin, le temps, et l’attention du vigneron. Le résultat est un Savagnin tout en nuances, d’une rondeur minérale, entre tension et douceur.
Le nez est à la fois expressif et délicat : agrumes frais, pêche blanche, fleur d’acacia, avec une touche minérale subtile. En bouche, la texture est ronde mais tendue, avec une belle allonge, une sensation saline élégante, et une finale fraîche et florale. Le vin évite toute lourdeur, jouant sur l’équilibre parfait entre richesse naturelle du cépage et finesse du terroir.
Le Sage Vagnin accompagnera avec grâce des fruits de mer, des fromages affinés comme le comté ou le bleu de Gex, mais aussi une cuisine plus épicée, orientale ou végétale. À servir entre 10 et 12°C, avec un léger carafage, et à apprécier dès maintenant ou à garder jusqu’à 5 ans.
Un vin rare, pour les amateurs de finesse et de singularité jurassienne.
Covenant Rouge 2020
Danis dans la Vigne
Un Malbec d’exception, mûri dans le silence du chai
Covenant 2020, c’est le temps long et la patience comme philosophie. Une cuvée très singulière signée Danis dans la vigne, façonnée avec une rare minutie. Ce 100 % Malbec, cultivé en agriculture biologique sur les sols argilo-calcaires du Cahors profond, est vinifié naturellement, sans intervention œnologique superflue, avec une macération courte, puis élevé pendant trois ans en barriques, ouillées une seule fois par an. Une méthode exigeante, audacieuse, qui permet au vin de se concentrer, de s’oxyder lentement, de s’arrondir dans une dynamique quasi oxydative, avant un passage en cuve inox pendant un an, puis un repos d’un an en bouteille.
Un vin mûr, complexe, abouti, qui tranche avec l’image parfois brute du Malbec. Covenant porte bien son nom : un véritable pacte entre le temps, la matière et le geste vigneron.
Profond, enveloppant, méditatif
Dès le service, le vin s’ouvre sur une robe sombre, aux reflets grenat profonds. Le nez est envoutant : cacao amer, épices douces, fruit noir compoté, truffe, presque un soupçon de cuir. En bouche, c’est une expérience à part. La texture est veloutée, ample, mais parfaitement équilibrée. La longueur est remarquable, persistante, saline en finale. On sent un vin en pleine maturité, prêt à être dégusté, mais aussi armé pour la garde.
Covenant 2020 est taillé pour les viandes rouges nobles, le gibier, un plat à la truffe, ou même un dessert au chocolat noir pour les plus audacieux. À servir à 16-18°C, sans carafage, dans un grand verre qui lui laisse le temps de respirer.
Lutea Gentian Liqueur
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
Nestled in the heart of the volcanic landscapes of the Auvergne region, Lutéa Spirits draws its inspiration from the wild hills and high-altitude meadows of this authentic area. It is here, on these living, nourishing soils, that the fresh yellow gentian, queen of bitter plants, flourishes. Hand-picked with respect for the plant's natural rhythm, this powerful root embodies the botanical and mountain identity of Lutéa liqueur, a true tribute to a preserved and untamed terroir.
Cultivation methods
True to its artisanal and committed vision, Lutéa Spirits works exclusively with certified organic ingredients. Every step, from cultivation to maceration, is designed to reveal the purity of the plants, without artifice or compromise. The gentian roots are freshly harvested and then carefully infused alongside other meticulously selected botanicals: basil, mint, licorice, anise... so many botanical touches that enrich the aromatic profile. No coloring, no superfluous additives: here, nature expresses itself in its purest form.
Tasting & pairings
Lutéa Gentian Liqueur 2024 is an ode to vegetal freshness. From the first whiff, it unfolds captivating aromas of raw gentian, crisp basil, and invigorating mint, enhanced by bursts of bright citrus and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the balance is remarkable: the gentle bitterness of gentian intertwines with anise and lemon notes, in a warm and lingering roundness.
As an aperitif, it can be enjoyed chilled, neat, or lengthened with a splash of sparkling water or dry tonic to reveal its complexity and vivacity. It also pairs brilliantly with a platter of mountain cheeses, black olives, or even a citrus and fresh herb dessert. Warm, intense, yet always elegant, this organic liqueur captivates with its aromatic purity and wild touch.
Gabbrodo Magnum White 2022
De Vini
De Vini's (Vinilibre) Gabbrodo 2022 is an ode to the terroir of the Pays Nantais. This natural wine, made without any additives, expresses with finesse the Melon de Bourgogne, the region's emblematic grape variety. Grown in gabbro soils, a rare volcanic rock in the Loire Valley, it benefits from nine months of aging in sandstone amphorae, imparting remarkable purity and tension to this exceptional white wine.
Its pale, golden robe heralds a luminous and crystalline wine. The nose seduces with its freshness and aromatic complexity: notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white fruits (pear, peach), and a touch of iodine that recalls its maritime origins. On the palate, the attack is crisp and lively, driven by a beautiful acidity and a sharp minerality. Aging in amphorae imparts a silky texture while preserving the wine's tension and freshness. The finish is long and saline, with a delicately smoky persistence that invites further tasting.
The 2022 Gabbrodo proves to be an ideal companion for seafood. It will perfectly complement scallops with truffles, grilled lobster, sea bass baked in a salt crust, or pike-perch with beurre blanc sauce. Served between 10 and 12°C, it can be enjoyed now for its vibrant freshness or cellared for 5 to 10 years to reveal its full complexity.
Borgonon Granate Red 2006,
Borgoñón Granate is an organic and natural red wine from Andalusia made from Pinot Noir. Classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), it is vinified by Cortijo Barranco Oscuro. As its name suggests, it draws inspiration from Burgundy. This 2006, which has had time to reflect, is one of the best vintages of this cuvée.
Vinification
This wine comes from Pinot Noir vines planted at an altitude of 1,280 meters on schist soils. The wine is aged for one year in old barrels.
Tasting
Borgoñón Granate is a beautifully atypical wine that displays remarkable density while being relatively clear and not very concentrated (a reference to Burgundy). Intense red fruits, cherries, melted and velvety tannins, and a long and seductive smoky finish. It ages well. Great balance, melted tannins, pair it with a beautiful grilled prime rib or Spanish canned fish. A pata negra ham? Certainly, it's a compatriot.
Learn more about Cortijo Barranco Oscuro
Manuel Valenzuela cultivates the highest vines in the world (1,368 meters), in Andalusia, on the Sierra Contraviesa. Barranco oscuro means "dark valley," a reminder of the original site of the property, which was moved at the end of the 19th century after the phylloxera crisis. In 1979, the estate was taken over by Manuel, who decided to use natural methods in preference to those of modern oenology.
A drop of 1,400 meters
At first, he bought grapes, but his goal was to replant vines. Currently, the twelve hectares of Cortijo Barranco Oscuro extend over a drop of almost 1,400 meters. On a poor, dry, schistose terroir, two localities concentrate the plots: Cerro Las Monjas at the very top and Hoyo y Cerro de Las Gayumbas lower down, near the winery buildings.
High-altitude wines
Strong thermal contrasts explain the freshness of the wines, produced without the addition of exogenous yeasts and without inputs in the vineyard or cellar. Although the estate is not certified organic due to the disillusionment that fraud in this area has brought Manuel, his estate is a member of the Spanish Association of Natural Wine Producers. His wines are straightforward and clean, without compromise: they give joy through the seriousness of the work that was necessary to produce them.
Munjebel CD Red 2020
Cornelissen
Munjebel CD is a single-plot red cuvée, certified organic (Eurofeuille) and biodynamic. Made from 100% Nerello Mascalese, it is produced by Frank Cornelissen in the DOP (AOP) Etna Rosso/IGP Terre Siciliane Nerello Mascalese. It comes from a single plot in the Calderara Sottana contrada, at an altitude of 610 m, facing north. This high-quality contrada is appreciated in cold and difficult vintages: its gravelly soil absorbs heat and re-radiates it during the coldest hours of the night.
Vinification
100% Nerello Mascalese, Munjebel CD comes from 40-year-old vines cultivated biodynamically. The grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed. Fermentation starts from a vat foot and is accompanied by a 50-day skin maceration. Aged for 18 months in epoxy vats, then 18 months in bottles. No fining, light filtration.
Tasting
This highly regarded contrada produces quite feminine wines, combining elegance and depth, especially in the best years. You can pair them with red meats, charcuterie, and great Italian, Iberian, or Gascon hams. For example, ham from black pork from Bigorre or a cecina (beef ham) from maison Aitana.
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…
Vino Rosso Red 2017
Corva Gialla
Red fruits, mineral and earthy notes, tertiary aromas, spices, and tobacco: this sums up the profile of Vino Rosso, the emblematic red of Azienda Corva Gialla, with beautiful notes of evolution and a pronounced but not excessive full-bodiedness. The richness, due to a high natural sugar content during fermentation, and the polyphenolic maturity are remarkable, as well as the balance between velvety and tannicity, lightness and body, roundness and acidity. On the nose, notes of spices such as cinnamon, black pepper, and fennel; On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dominated by red fruits: ripe cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Black fruits and plum are not left out, and delicious aromas of dried fruits (prune, fig) combine with spices on the finish. Vino Rosso is a 100% Sangiovese from vines planted at an altitude of 450 meters on a west-facing plot with volcanic soils.

The azienda Corva Gialla ("yellow crow") is a wine estate in Lazio, Italy, located on the edge of Umbria in the Alta Tuscia Viterbese. A volcanic region considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and characterized by its calanches, high tuff rock formations delimiting deep valleys carved by numerous rivers and torrents. Corva Gialla is located in Lubriano, opposite Civita di Bagnoregio. Alta Tuscia is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemaking talents devoted to nature who are promoting these lands deprived throughout history. Founded in 2017, the estate comprises four hectares cultivated by Beatrice Arweiler, originally from another wine-growing region, between the Rhine and the Moselle. The new owner also planted an olive grove (Frantoio and Leccino varieties) and developed the estate into a mixed crop and livestock system. The vines were planted with the help of Gian Marco Antonuzzi of the Le Coste estate. The friable volcanic soil lends itself beautifully to viticulture and the planting of grape varieties such as Grechetto d'Umbria, Trebbiano, Vermentino, Sangiovese, and Ciliegiolo. The estate's wines are quintessentially Italian, meaning they are crafted primarily for enjoyment. They are straightforward, deep, and easy to drink, expressing the strong minerality of their soils.

Magnum Munjebel Red 2014
Frank Cornelissen's Munjebel 2014 is a pure and intense immersion in the volcanic terroir of Etna. Made exclusively from Nerello Mascalese, this red wine aptly expresses the identity of northern Sicily. 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).
In the glass, its translucent ruby color evokes the refinement and finesse of a great Pinot Noir, while preserving the energy and intensity characteristic of Etna wines. 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. On the palate, it is both structured and vibrant: its tannins are present yet silky, and the ripeness of the fruit is balanced with a beautiful acidity. A slight salty touch prolongs the finish and recalls the volcanic origins of the terroir.
A natural wine with no added sulfites, the Munjebel 2014 reflects Frank Cornelissen's non-interventionist philosophy. This rich and expressive wine is ideal for aging (5 to 10 years), but is already splendid today after aeration in a carafe. Served between 16 and 18°C, it will pair wonderfully with grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes, or a porcini mushroom risotto.

This plot was planted in 1925 and produces a deep, tannic wine, somewhat reminiscent of Nebbiolo, with a slightly less intense color than the estate's other reds.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

This wine is produced from Syrah vines planted at an altitude of approximately 1,290 meters, facing south on schist and clay soils. The destemmed harvest macerates in stainless steel vats, and is aged for sixteen months in old barrels. The Syrah, originally from Persia, inspired the name of the vintage: Rubaiyat is the title of a lyrical cycle by the Persian poet Omar Khayyam (11th century), a man of great wisdom, mathematician, astronomer...
