Perspectives White 2024

Domaine de la Sorbiere

A Burgundy that opens up new horizons

Perspectives is a rare and luminous cuvée, originating from the Bourgogne AOC, but boasting a unique perspective. The plot, located at the southernmost edge of the appellation, borders Beaujolais. From there, the view encompasses a 360-degree panorama of two great wine regions: Burgundy and Beaujolais. It is this expansive vision, this sense of space and balance, that this wine seeks to convey.

Purity of Chardonnay, ancestral aging

Made from Chardonnay grapes grown without synthetic inputs on schist soils, Perspective benefits from natural vinification using direct pressing, followed by six months of aging in amphorae, which gives it a limpid texture and striking mineral tension. No superfluous oenological intervention: here, only indigenous yeasts orchestrate the fermentation, allowing the terroir to express itself freely.
A vibrant white, full of freshness
On tasting, the wine is clear, bright, and a pale yellow with silvery highlights. The nose opens with delicate notes of honeysuckle, fresh lemon, and a touch of salinity reminiscent of sea spray. On the palate, a wave of freshness, taut and tangy, almost crystalline, accompanies a lovely fruity depth. The finish is clean, long, and mouthwatering.

Suitable for large gatherings as well as for aperitifs

This characterful white wine pairs equally well with shellfish, cooked fish, or mushrooms, as with white meats or soft cheeses. Served chilled, it reveals its full gastronomic potential and can be aged for 5 to 10 years without any problem.

Burgundy Bigotes Qvevris White 2022,

Frédéric Cossard

With the Burgundy Bigotes Qvevris White 2022, Frédéric Cossard explores a unique approach to Chardonnay, aging it in qvevris (Georgian amphorae). This ancestral vinification method allows the terroir to be expressed in a unique way, producing a white wine that is both pure and structured.

An exceptional Chardonnay

Grown on clay-limestone soils, this wine benefits from a vinification process without additives and aging in qvevris, which brings a beautiful aromatic complexity and a silky texture. Its mineral and taut profile makes it an atypical and fascinating cuvée.

An expressive nose and a vibrant palate

The nose reveals notes of ripe white fruits, citrus fruits and dried flowers, with a mineral and slightly smoky touch. On the palate, the body is ample and structured, carried by a vibrant acidity and a long and saline finish.

What to enjoy with this wine?

Ideally served at 10-12°C, this white Burgundy will go perfectly with oysters, fish ceviche or mature goat cheeses. Its aging potential of 5 to 10 years will allow it to evolve towards even more complex and deep aromas.

Saint Joseph Cuvée Madloba Red 2014,

Domaine des Miquettes

From the prestigious AOP Saint-Joseph, Domaine des Miquettes offers us a unique cuvée with its Saint-Joseph Cuvée Madloba 2014. Certified organic (Eurofeuille, All our organic wines), this wine is made from Syrah grown on steep terroirs in the northern Rhône, offering a pure and intense expression of the grape variety.

A Georgian-inspired vinification

This cuvée bears the name "Madloba," which means "thank you" in Georgian, a nod to an ancestral winemaking method. The wine is aged in qvevris (buried amphorae), which gives it a beautiful aromatic depth and a silky texture, while preserving its natural and authentic character.

An intense nose and a structured palate

Upon opening, this organic Saint-Joseph reveals a deep and complex nose, marked by notes of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), violet and spices. On the palate, the attack is ample and velvety, with a well-integrated tannic structure and a long finish with slightly smoky and mineral accents.

For what occasion?

Served at 16-18°C and decanted before tasting, this wine is the perfect accompaniment to grilled red meats, game in sauce or stewed dishes with mild spices. With an aging potential of 5 to 10 years, it will evolve towards even more complex aromas over time.

Laureano Serres Montagut

Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Magnum I'm Natural Don't Panic #7 Red 2018

Coruna del Conde
Julien López's I'm Natural, Don't Panic range consists of macerated wines. This 100% Tempranillo red is both powerful and supple; its freshness is the result of a high-altitude climate that subjects the vines to significant temperature variations. A lovely bouquet of red fruits and a beautiful balance of sweetness and minerality. Serve with tapas, grilled meats, or poultry.

Carignan Red 2014,

Domaine Le Temps retrouvé

Made from 130-year-old Carignan vines growing in a complex blend of clay, silica, mica-rich schist, quartz, and gneiss, this wine undergoes extended aging.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Derrière les Fagots Blanc 2016,

Fond Cyprès

This Muscat, macerated for six weeks in egg-shaped vats, is aged for two years in barrels under a veil, hence its oxidative character. Fresh, refined, powerful, and long, it is an incomparable table wine.

Natural wine with no added sulfites.

i Vicini Barbera Red 2022

Jean-Yves Péron

I Vicini Barbera by Jean-Yves Péron is an organic, biodynamic, and natural red wine. It is vinified in Savoie from Barbera grapes harvested in Piedmont.

Vinification

Barbera is grown in Asti and Alba. The second most widely used red grape variety in Italy after Sangiovese, it produces full-bodied, colorful wines with red fruits. Harvested by hand, no sulfites added, no filtration, no fining. Both Barberas are macerated for three months with punching down and undergo a fifteen-day carbonic maceration. The wine is aged for one year in 300-liter barrels.

Tasting

This I Vicini Barbera is a great wine in every sense of the word. Long, very fruity, generous, deep, with superb acidity resulting from a moderately ripe harvest, it is both serious and joyful, intense and concentrated. Finesse, minerality, tension, a beautiful, intense and colorful red color: it begs to accompany fine cuts of meat and roasts.

Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron

Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic, and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies grapes from his plots in Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, in the Isère valley.

High-altitude biodynamics

Jean-Yves Péron's work follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow, steep slopes, his hand-worked mountain vines in micro-plots receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.

Italo-Savoyard trade

Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.

Les Oeillets White 2021

Jean Yves Peron

Les Œillets is a dry white maceration wine harvested and vinified in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron. Organic, biodynamic and natural, this is a 100% Jacquère white wine whose vines grow on clay-limestone soil, in the place called Les Marches, at the foot of Mont Granier.

Vinification

It is roughly the same terroir as that of La Petite Robe, harvested later to obtain greater phenolic maturity and a higher tannic concentration. Carbonic maceration for four or five days is followed by ten days of punching down in vats. At least one year of aging in 225-liter barrels. Neither fined, nor filtered, nor sulfited.

Tasting

Superbly structured, Les Œillets has chew, texture, a tannic mouthfeel and a note of controlled oxidation. The tension is strong, balanced by a note of apricot. Woody, with explosive minerality and beautiful tension, it is an atypical white, with powerful aromatic notes. Lots of fruit and candied citrus. With this, you can enjoy a good Bigorre black ham, unless a smoked salmon presents itself. Or, the best of the best, treat yourself: an exceptional beef ham from Maison Aitana, made from wagyu or black angus.

The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semi-carbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then transferred to two- or three-wine barrels for twelve months of aging on lees, before blending and resting in the vat. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.

Skin-Contact Rafling White 2020,

Frédéric Cossard

Fruit, balance, elegance, roundness, and integrity all at once, this Riesling has a lot to tell. Our own Frédéric Cossard, equally at home in Burgundian-style winemaking (but without additives) as he is in the multi-hued refinements of merchant winemaking, now offers us a Riesling vinified with skin-contact maceration. Don't nitpick too much about food and wine pairings, this one is tailored for all circumstances.

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 wine-growing 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 as a wine broker for some time before creating the domaine de Chassorney 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 since vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura or Languedoc. At his place, the work of the soil and the vines is done as naturally as possible: regular ploughing by horse, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to the principles of biodynamics: 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 coveted wines, which sometimes require waiting.

Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru les Folatières White 2020,

Fréderic Cossard

A fine example of Chardonnay at its zenith, this Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru is distinguished, complex, powerful, and precise. It comes from the Folatières plot, planted with very old vines. This age is felt in the depth and structure of the wine, and likewise, it benefits from superb aging qualities.

Skin Contact Combe Bazin White 2016, Domaine de Chassorney
This Chardonnay comes from a steep, east-facing plot between 280 and 400 meters above sea level. The soils are mainly marl, limestone, and clay. After skin maceration, the wine is aged for about a year in barrels. This climate is known for producing mineral, lively, sapid, and persistent wines, with the added bonus of Burgundian smoothness.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Coteau Libre Red 2016

Domaine Le Temps retrouvé

A beautiful macabeu with a strong personality, vinified by Michaël Georget in the Albères region. This grape variety has often been used as a blending ingredient; it deserves to shine on its own. The nose already announces the wine's structure and velvety texture, and the palate appreciates the clarity and tension, which doesn't prevent it from being very delicious.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Les Nouvelles Blanc 2022

Philippe Chatillon

Avec sa cuvée Les Nouvelles 2022, Philippe Chatillon, ancien directeur du Domaine de la Pinte devenu vigneron indépendant, continue d’exprimer avec précision et sincérité les grands terroirs du Jura, qu’il travaille en agriculture biologique certifiée depuis ses débuts. Ce 100 % Savagnin, issu de l’appellation Arbois, offre une lecture tout en finesse d’un cépage souvent marqué par l’oxydatif, ici vinifié en version ouillée.

Les raisins, cultivés sur marnes jurassiennes, sont pressés directement puis fermentent naturellement, sans ajout de levures ni intrants. L’élevage de deux ans en barriques anciennes, sous ouillage, permet au vin de développer une belle complexité sans aucune note oxydative, dans un style tendu et digeste. Aucune correction, aucun maquillage : ce Savagnin est une expression pure de son lieu et de son millésime.

À la dégustation, la robe est limpide, dorée avec des reflets verts. Le nez séduit par sa finesse florale (fleur blanche, tilleul), ses notes briochées discrètes, et ses arômes nets de pêche blanche et de minéralité crayeuse. En bouche, c’est tendu, droit, sec, avec une superbe allonge et une finale saline, presque vibrante, qui appelle la table.

Vin de gastronomie, il se mariera parfaitement avec des poissons de rivière, des fromages du Jura (Comté affiné, Morbier), ou encore des plats exotiques et épicés. À servir légèrement carafé pour lui permettre de s’ouvrir pleinement. Garde assurée de 5 à 10 ans.

Riesling Blanc 2022

Domaine Einhart
Riesling from Domaine Einhart is, as its name suggests, a dry white wine made from 100% Riesling from the Alsace region, organic (Ecocert) and natural, classified as a Vin de France. Riesling, the lord of Eastern European grape varieties, finds here an expression worthy of its nobility.

Vinification
The twenty-five-year-old Riesling vines from Domaine Einhart grow on the muschelkalk (oolitic limestone) soils of the Kreutzweg area. The grapes are harvested by hand and then pressed directly. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts. Aging on fine lees is ten months in century-old beer barrels (an Alsatian specialty) and precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, Riesling was produced without any additives or sulfites.

Tasting
A beautiful orange-yellow color. The first nose is very delicate, slightly musky, with notes of grapefruit and dandelion flower. The second nose is fresher and mineral with aromas of thyme, aromatic herbs, and flint. The palate begins with vivacity and a beautiful verticality, a minerality typical of limestone. The finish is persistent and saline. Decanting is recommended so that Riesling can spread its wings and express its mineral notes. You can serve this gem from the Einhart estate with any kind of dish; it is easy-going, but it also pairs well with cheese, roast poultry, sauerkraut, or smoked fish.

Learn more about the Einhart estate
In the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, the Einhart estate is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines grow in 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.

Chateau Roulant Red 20/21

Benoit Camus
Château Roulant is a Beaujolais red wine, organic and natural (Ecocert certified), made from Gamay. Classified as a Vin de France, it is produced by Benoît Camus at his Pierre Dorées estate, in the south of the appellation. Its name evokes the itinerant life once led by the winemaker, a former seasonal agricultural worker.

Vinification
The Gamay vines of Beaujolais grow on clay-limestone soils. The very steep plots prohibit any mechanized work. The harvest, carried out by hand, undergoes a three-week semi-carbonic maceration. The wine is aged in concrete vats for fifteen months.

Tasting
The Beaujolais wines from Pierre Dorées are structured, long-lasting, and beautifully fruity. Here, after admiring a bright garnet color, we find strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, and cranberry, with a beautiful acidity in the mid-palate giving way to a rich and voluptuous finish. Freshness and acidity, leather, earth, and some animal notes. Wonderful richness in the mouth that we will enjoy accompanying with cold meats and cured meats, poultry such as pigeon or duck. Or even Red Meats .

Learn more about Benoît Camus
You might think he's itinerant, with his vintages called "Château roulant" or "Vagabond", but for Benoît Camus, it's a memory of his previous life, when he was a seasonal farmer in the Rhône Valley and as far as Roussillon. Since 2003, he has settled in Southern Beaujolais, in the Pierres Dorées terroir, to make organic (Ecocert) and natural wines.

Nature before, nature always
Before purchasing his seven-hectare estate from an old winemaker, the vines had not yet seen pesticides or chemical additives. Many in Beaujolais worked this way. He made his first vintage in 2006, "natural without knowing it," he says. A brief attempt at chemical spraying to treat grape worm definitively dissuaded him from adding anything to the vineyard or the cellar. He acquired Ecocert organic certification and continues to make natural wines.

The Pierre Dorées terroir
The southern Beaujolais, with its clay-limestone soils, produces wines that are more structured and powerful than those from the granite soils of the North. This is the profile presented by the reds of Benoît Camus, natural wines that are straight, dense and long-aging, with good acidity and well-integrated tannins, not forgetting abundant, rich and seductive fruit.

Chardonnay Blanc 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Un Chardonnay qui brouille les pistes… Cultivé dans le Jura, vinifié en Bourgogne par l’incontournable Frédéric Cossard, ce blanc nature incarne la liberté d’expression d’un vigneron hors norme. Vinifié sans intrants, sans soufre ajouté, sans levures de laboratoire, ce vin révèle toute la vitalité et la pureté du cépage.

Un vin sec, droit et salin

Les raisins de ce Chardonnay jurassien ont été pressés directement, puis élevés pendant un an en œuf béton, un contenant qui respecte la matière et accompagne le vin dans une expression naturelle et lumineuse. Le terroir argilo-calcaire renforce la minéralité et apporte une belle tension à la bouche. Le tout sans maquillage, sans fard, dans le style pur et droit qui caractérise les plus beaux blancs nature.

Une aromatique ciselée, pleine d’énergie

Au nez, on retrouve des notes d’agrumes frais, de zeste citronné, et une touche marine très subtile. En bouche, c’est une trame vibrante, tendue, légèrement salivante. La finale longue laisse une sensation minérale, presque crayeuse. Une vraie colonne vertébrale pour ce vin sec, mais jamais austère.

Compagnon idéal de la mer et des moments frais

Ce vin s’accorde parfaitement à des fruits de mer, des huîtres, un ceviche, ou tout simplement à un apéritif estival bien choisi. À déguster entre 10 et 12 °C, dans les 5 ans, pour profiter de sa fraîcheur cristalline.

Chassornade Blanc Pétillant 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Une bulle libre signée Frédéric Cossard

Avec Chassornade 2023, Frédéric Cossard poursuit son exploration joyeuse des vins naturels vivants et insuffle un vent de fraîcheur sur la Bourgogne. Cette cuvée effervescente est un pur pétillant naturel (ou pet' nat'), méthode ancestrale non dégorgée, élaborée à partir d’un 100 % aligoté cultivé sur des sols argilo-calcaires. Un vin libre, sans intrants, sans filtration ni levures exogènes — comme toujours chez Cossard.

Vinification naturelle, spontanéité garantie

Le jus est issu d’un pressurage direct, puis mis en bouteille avant la fin de la fermentation, pour capturer le CO₂ naturellement produit. Aucun dosage, aucun ajout. Résultat : des bulles fines, une matière nette et désaltérante, et une expression ultra-franche du cépage. L’aligoté révèle ici une facette pétillante, vive et festive, bien loin de l’image austère qu’on lui prête parfois.

Un vin d'apéritif, mais pas seulement

Chassornade explose au nez sur des notes de citron frais, de pomme verte, de fleurs blanches et une pointe de craie. En bouche, c’est droit, tranchant, effervescent avec une acidité tendue qui appelle la prochaine gorgée. Léger (11 %), vif, glou-glou dans le meilleur sens du terme, ce pet’ nat’ est fait pour les grandes tablées, les pique-niques, les débuts de repas… et les fins aussi.

Accords et service

À servir bien frais (10-12°C), après un léger carafage si le dépôt naturel vous gêne. Il se marie parfaitement avec des huîtres, un fromage de chèvre frais, des tapas ou une tarte salée. Garde : 5 ans, mais on parie qu’il ne tiendra pas jusque-là !
