Saint-Amour Rouge 2016, Frédéric Cossard
Fruity, structure, and deliciousness for this Beaujolais vintage from Frédéric Cossard, bottled with Damien Coquelet and Kevin Descombes.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Vin paillé Red 2012
Marie and Vincent Tricot
Marie and Vincent Tricot's Vin de paille is undoubtedly a curiosity: it's a sweet wine made from 100% Auvergne Gamay, entirely organic and natural, made like a Vin de paille from the Jura. The harvest is dried on straw in an attic before pressing. We're not used to Gamay vinified this way, or even red wine vinified this way.
It's an experiment, but the result more than justifies the boldness. Drying on straw concentrates the sugar in the grape berries and accentuates the flavors. Only a drop remains in each berry, but what a drop! Sweet, caressing, syrupy, complex, this Vin de paille is a delight. Its color is not a pure red but an amber, and the nose is a veritable basket of slightly jammy fruits: plum, prune, raisins, strawberry. It is possible that a refermentation takes place in the bottle, which can give a sparkling attack to this wine, but it disappears quickly. On the palate, a delicious sweetness, lots of strawberry and pleasantness. Very easy to drink.
To find out more
Among the generation of Auvergne winemakers who, at the dawn of the 21st century, are resurrecting the vineyards of this beautiful volcanic province of the Massif Central in organic and natural ways, Marie and Vincent Tricot are pioneers, and their name is well known to those who have long loved natural wine. After a varied winegrowing journey that took them from Beaujolais to Chile and from Chile to Costières-de-Nîmes, they landed in Auvergne, at the foot of the Puy de Dôme, in the commune of Orcet where they took over Claude Prugnard's vineyard, a land that had not seen the slightest chemical input for around thirty years. The estate is located on a hillside, on the left bank of the Allier, in a volcanic clay-limestone area neighboring the vineyards of Châteaugay, Chanturgue and Corent. They acquired it in 2003 and, since then, have been making wines from Auvergne Gamay, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with a little Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat. These rare and sought-after wines are mainly sold directly. They have a straight and flamboyant profile, and express themselves with as much character as simplicity.
Côtes du Rhône Red 2022
This Côtes-du-Rhône from Domaine des Grandes Serres is what its name implies: an organic and natural red wine from the lower Rhône Valley, in the AOC-AOP Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages. It is part of the estate's "Comics" natural series (see label).
Vinification
The Côtes-du-Rhône from Domaine des Grandes Serres is made from 80% Syrah, with 5% of each of the following grape varieties: Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, all grown on limestone and sandstone soils. The harvest is manual, the grapes are destemmed and macerated on the skins for three weeks. After pressing, the wine rests for eight months in stainless steel vats.
Tasting
A good, dense, indulgent, and fruity Côtes-du-Rhône, without the slight bite of sulfites, does that tempt you? This Côtes-du-Rhône is part of the estate's organic and natural "Comics" series and will always be perfect when you want a warm, fruity red wine suitable for all occasions.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Non Ouillé White 2022
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
It is in the heart of Beaujolais that La Tribu Alonso has dared a bold departure, a joyful risk: producing an oxidative white wine, a rarity in this region more renowned for its fruity reds. For this cuvée, named Non Ouillé 2022, the Chardonnay grape lends itself gracefully to controlled oxidation, revealing an unexpected facet of its expression. Born from a terroir at the crossroads of influences, between the granite hills of Beaujolais and the more southerly breezes of the Rhône Valley, this wine embodies a true convergence of sensations. A first foray into this style for the estate—and a promising success.
Cultivation methods
The Tribu Alonso, as its name suggests, operates as a collective, with a vision of wine resolutely focused on people and the living world. Here, there are no labels, but a clear philosophy: to work as close to nature as possible, without artifice. The vines are cultivated without chemical inputs, respecting natural rhythms, and the winery becomes a place of gentle experimentation. For this cuvée, the choice not to top up the wine—that is, not to fill the barrels during aging—allows for slow oxidation, inspired by the wines of the Jura region. A way to explore new gustatory horizons, while showcasing the grape variety and the local terroir in a new light.
Tasting & pairings
From the very first whiff, Non Ouillé 2022 intrigues and seduces. One is immersed in a disconcerting yet captivating aromatic world: notes of anise, mild curry, and above all, that touch of nuttiness typical of oxidative whites, tickle the senses. On the palate, the texture is ample yet taut, with precise minerality and a beautiful freshness that perfectly balances the wine's buttery and saline character. A subtle interplay between unabashed rusticity and profound elegance.
This wine invites the unexpected at the table: perfect as an aperitif, with green olives, aged hard cheeses, or even a delicate Comté and caramelized onion tart. It also pairs beautifully with light, exotic cuisine, such as a vegetable curry or fish marinated in mild spices. This is a wine for the curious, for those who love new sensations, for those who enjoy venturing off the beaten path and discovering what Beaujolais can offer when it embraces other influences.
With Non Ouillé 2022, La Tribu Alonso has created a vintage of character, as free as it is precise, which redefines the contours of white wine in Beaujolais and invites us to broaden our perspective, glass in hand.
L'Oublié Red 2021
Terroir, plot size and grape varieties
In the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon, between wild garrigue and sun-drenched stony soils, L'Oublié 2021 tells a story of time, sun, and memory. This still red wine, from Mas Coutelou, is born from a blend of Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsault, three grape varieties deeply rooted in the winemaking history of the South. Each contributes its voice to this Mediterranean chorus: Syrah for structure and spice, Carignan for depth and texture, and Cinsault for freshness and fruity roundness. But what makes L'Oublié unique is its patient construction: a solera, or "perpetual" system, nourished by wines from eleven different vintages, including a 2001 Carignan, the first link in a living memory.
Cultivation methods
Jeff Coutelou, a free and inspired figure in the natural wine movement, cultivates his vines according to the principles of certified organic farming. At Mas Coutelou, each vine is cared for as an individual, each soil respected as a living organism. No chemical inputs, no compromises: nature expresses itself unfiltered, and the wine becomes a companion to life. The winemaking follows this same philosophy, free from artifice. No added sulfur, no corrections. It is the fruit, time, and energy of past vintages that shape this rare cuvée. The solera system, rarely used in still red wines, brings an almost mystical complexity, where each vintage enriches the next, in an infinite loop of transmission and depth.
Tasting & pairings
L'Oublié 2021 opens like a door to a warm and enveloping elsewhere. The nose is a sensory journey: patinated leather, ripe black fruits, bursts of red berries, sweet licorice, hints of oriental spices… On the palate, it is dense, sun-drenched, and sensual, yet without heaviness. The wine's energy is palpable, almost vibrant. Its breadth is combined with a lively tension, as if the older vintages were instilling wisdom and balance in the younger ones. This is a wine that tells a story with every sip, a memory passed down from the depths of the barrels.
At the table, it pairs wonderfully with a grilled ribeye steak, a confit shoulder of lamb, or a platter of fine charcuterie. But it can also stand on its own, as a contemplative wine, to be savored slowly, in the glow of a summer evening.
L'Oublié is not just any wine. It's a sensory manifesto, a collective work of time and earth, crafted by a visionary winemaker. A rare, profound bottle that deserves to be savored… so as not to be forgotten.

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.

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.
