Southern Red Version 2024

Le Cordières des Andes, Red 2022

Fond Cyprès

With this evocatively named cuvée, Fond Cyprès delivers an exceptional red wine, structured and vibrant, celebrating the richness of the southern Languedoc. Made from old Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah vines, this natural and organic red wine reflects the complexity of the estate's clay-limestone terroirs and the finesse of aging in large oak foudres.

Respectful and precise winemaking

The grapes are vinified separately after a short one-week maceration, using indigenous yeasts, without the addition of sulfites or oenological inputs. Blending then takes place before 10 months of aging in foudres, which softens the wine without masking the identity of each grape variety. The result: a deep, natural wine, both sun-drenched and fresh.

Complexity, finesse, and length

Upon opening, the wine captivates with an expressive nose combining ripe red fruits, black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), sweet spices, and a hint of licorice. The palate is ample, structured yet supple, with fine tannins and a controlled freshness that balances the whole. The long and elegant finish reveals excellent aging potential.

A Mediterranean gastronomic red

Best served between 16 and 18 °C, Le Cordières des Andes will perfectly accompany roasted meats, grilled dishes, Mediterranean cuisine, or a refined barbecue. It can be enjoyed now but will reach its full maturity in 5 to 10 years or more. A serious, committed, yet always charming cuvée.

Aging is approximately one year in barrels.

Tasting

Beautiful garnet color, finesse, elegance, density and uprightness. This Chambolle-Musigny “Les Herbues” is a complex and delicate red wine based on the aromas of raspberry, candied strawberry and violet with a touch of undergrowth, licorice and cocoa. Floral finish reminiscent of red rose. This clear and silky wine will be a delight with a gourmet meal as well as with local dishes.

Paoudou Red 2022,

Danis dans la vigne

Paoudou is a 100% Cahors Malbec red wine, organic and natural, produced in Vin de France by Danis Bessières of Danis dans la vigne. It is part of the winemaker's "Esprit du lieu" series of single-plot cuvées.

Vinification

Tasting

Paoudou is a sunny, dense and fruity wine, with substance. It requires decanting to fully express its character. Typically Cahors Malbec: Paoudou is full of presence, energy, with a little austerity. It is a wine for red meats, roasts and stews.

Tasting

Despite its six years of age, this Cahors from the Domaine de l'Antenet/Danis dans la vigne remains very marked by cherry, with body and noble aromas of an evolved wine that are beginning to manifest themselves: leather, undergrowth, hay, truffle, tobacco...

The Genevrières climate, in AOP Gevrey-Chambertin, is located on clay soil on a limestone base. Vinification begins with two weeks of whole-bunch maceration, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the fruit.

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.

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.

Cerro las Monjas 1368 Red 2005,

Barranco Oscuro

Blend of Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Grenache from high-altitude vines (1,368 m).
Extremely fresh wine, rich aromas, notes of Morello cherries and cherries.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

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.

Antenet Cahors Rouge 1998

Danis dans la Vigne

A cellar gem, between family heritage and the depth of time

Here is a rare, almost confidential wine, which tells a story even before it is opened. Antenet 1998 is a unique cuvée, vinified more than twenty-five years ago by Danis's father, the current winemaker of the Danis dans la Vigne estate. This Cahors from another era, made from 100% Malbec, was crafted with respect for tradition and with a philosophy already very close to natural winemaking: short maceration, aging in concrete vats for two years, no oenological "makeup."

The typical clay-limestone soil of the Cahors vineyard produces an excellent keeping wine, with tannins polished by time and incredibly rich aromatics. At only 12% alcohol, it defies modern standards with its balance, freshness, and exceptional longevity.

A deep, aged, memory-filled wine

After more than two decades of rest, Antenet 1998 reveals a brick-red garnet color, with brown reflections. The complex and captivating nose unveils aromas of stewed black fruits, prune, blond tobacco, with a hint of undergrowth. On the palate, the texture is melted, ample, with a rare smoothness. This wine evokes a bygone era, yet remains strikingly delicious, perfect with roasted meats, game, or a dish rich in umami.

Served at 16-18°C, with no need for decanting, this wine is ready to be enjoyed. It is a liquid archive, a family treasure, to be discovered like reading a letter from the past.
