Cathédrale Rouge 2020

Danis dans la Vigne 

Une cuvée monumentale, entre verticalité et finesse

Avec Cathédral 2020, le domaine Danis dans la vigne signe un vin puissant, complexe et méditatif, à l’image de son nom évocateur. Cette cuvée d’exception associe Malbec et Cabernet Franc, deux cépages nobles du Sud-Ouest, sur un terroir argilo-calcaire travaillé en agriculture biologique. Un vin naturel, vivant, sans intrants œnologiques, qui fait le pari du temps long : 3 ans d’élevage en barriques, ouillées une seule fois par an, dans une approche oxydative volontaire, suivis d’un an de repos en cuve inox, puis d’un affinage d’un an en bouteille.

Un processus rare et exigeant, qui donne naissance à un vin au profil aromatique profond, à la texture soyeuse, et à la complexité remarquable, capable de traverser les années avec grâce.

Un vin noble, ample, patiné

Dès le premier regard, la robe sombre aux reflets grenat annonce la richesse du vin. Le nez s’ouvre sur des fruits noirs et rouges compotés, évoluant vers des notes d’amande grillée, de cacao, d’épices douces et de sous-bois. En bouche, la matière est dense, veloutée, mais jamais lourde. Le Cabernet Franc apporte une fraîcheur bienvenue, qui équilibre la puissance du Malbec. La finale, longue et harmonieuse, laisse apparaître une touche saline et légèrement fumée.

Cathédral 2020 est une cuvée de gastronomie par excellence, taillée pour des accords ambitieux : viandes rouges, gibiers à plume, plats à la truffe, ou même certains fromages affinés. À servir entre 16 et 18°C, sans besoin de carafage. Ce vin peut être bu dès maintenant ou conservé 10 ans et plus.

Dolce & Cabanon Red 2024

La Tribu Alonso

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

It is in the heart of Beaujolais, in a rural corner where vines grow undisturbed, that Dolce & Cabanon 2024 is born, an atypical, vibrant, and charming red wine. This cuvée, crafted by La Tribu Alonso, defies conventions with panache: it blends no fewer than 52 hybrid grape varieties, including 30% Seibel 54/55, enhanced by the aromatic freshness of Muscat Petit Grain—a rarity in red wines, here sublimely expressed. This vegetal kaleidoscope gives rise to a free and untamed wine, like a wild garden where every plant finds its place.

Cultivation methods

The vines are cultivated with care, in harmony with nature and the seasons, without haste or dogma. Each vine is tended by hand, each bunch harvested with respect, in a profoundly artisanal approach. This attentive work in the soil, this partnership with nature, allows the grape varieties, classic or forgotten, to express themselves with precision and spontaneity. In the cellar, the same philosophy prevails: simple gestures, intuitive winemaking, to let the wine speak for itself.

Tasting & pairings

Dolce & Cabanon 2024 is a juicy, supple, and easy-drinking red wine, both generous and light. From the first sniff, it seduces with its notes of ripe red fruit, enhanced by a touch of herbaceousness and spice. Then come almost unexpected hints of citrus, which refresh the whole and give this wine a playful, slightly mischievous rhythm. On the palate, the tannins express themselves gently, creating an elegant structure, always carried by freshness.

The perfect companion for summer barbecues, flame-grilled meats, or evenings in the garden with friends, this is a wine that invites sharing and simple moments. But behind this unabashed conviviality lies true craftsmanship, a quest for balance between rusticity and finesse, between nature and culture.

Gigondas Red 2022

Les Grandes Serres

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Nestled in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail, the Gigondas terroir asserts itself with its quiet strength and raw beauty. Here, in this fiery enclave of the Southern Rhône Valley, the vines find refuge on steep, stony slopes, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the mistral wind. This poor and demanding soil, a mixture of marl and limestone, gives rise to grapes of rare intensity.
In this 2022 vintage, Les Grandes Serres presents a cuvée driven by a classic and remarkably effective duo: Grenache, the sun-drenched king of the south, which dominates the blend, and Syrah, which brings tension and depth. Together, they express the wild and sensual soul of this emblematic terroir.

Cultivation methods

True to a respectful approach to living things, Les Grandes Serres crafts this Gigondas using natural winemaking methods, without artifice, allowing the grapes to express themselves freely. The vines are cultivated in harmony with natural balances, without synthetic products, with meticulous care given to each vine. The harvest is done by hand, selecting grapes at perfect ripeness, guaranteeing healthy and concentrated raw materials. In the cellar, aging is carefully controlled with restraint, without masking the wine's personality, to preserve its original freshness and lusciousness.

Tasting & pairings

The 2022 Gigondas from Grandes Serres is a true explosion of pleasure. From the first sniff, it seduces with its intense aromas of ripe red fruits, crushed strawberry, juicy cherry, which mingle with notes of wild thyme, dark chocolate and a slightly smoky, almost meaty touch.
On the palate, it's a wave of generosity: ample, velvety, but never heavy. Natural freshness balances the richness of the fruit, and the finish lingers on melted tannins, with a touch of salinity that begs for another sip. A "bombshell of deliciousness," certainly, but also a wine of character, with depth and true elegance.

Ideal for accompanying a summer barbecue with friends, a beautiful platter of artisanal charcuterie, or a grilled piece of red meat, this Gigondas is both approachable and refined. Served slightly chilled, it will also surprise with its lightness despite its 15% alcohol content, proving that power can indeed be drinkable.

A sincere, vibrant wine that warmly and generously expresses its terroir.

Les Larmes du Soleil Red 2020

La Tribu Alonso

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born in the heart of Beaujolais, but labeled a Vin de France, "Les Larmes de Damas 2020" is a singular Pinot Noir, with understated charm and a fiercely independent character. Cultivated off the beaten path, this wine draws its finesse and structure from the vibrant soils of the Rhône Valley, where the terroir, though not defined by an appellation, speaks with genuine sincerity. Here, the soils express themselves without artifice, offering Pinot Noir a delicate canvas for expression, full of tension and subtlety.

Cultivation methods

Tribu Alonso is above all a philosophy of respect and patience. Without a label, but with a deep commitment to life, the estate cultivates its vines with artisanal care, far removed from industrial standards. The vinification of this cuvée reflects this: a "Jura-style maceration" where half juice and half stems, without the stalks, are left to infuse for three months. A gentle and slow method, like a whisper addressed to the fruit, which emerges pure, vibrant, and delicately peppery.

Tasting & pairings

In the glass, "Les Larmes de Damas" reveals itself with quiet modesty. Its pale red color hints at its delicate texture. The nose evokes faded rose, crushed morello cherry, and a subtle note of white pepper that tantalizes the senses. On the palate, the wine glides with elegance, carried by a crystalline freshness and a caressing suppleness. No pretense, just touching sincerity, a simple yet lingering emotion.

This delicate red wine calls for dishes of equal quality: light, subtle cuisine that doesn't seek to overpower. Ideal as an aperitif, with a platter of fine charcuterie, a beetroot carpaccio with herbs, or a mature soft cheese. "Les Larmes de Damas" also complements a moment of silence, a gentle conversation, or the soft light of late afternoon.

A free, meditative wine that reconciles fruit, time, and the hand of man in a discreet yet profound harmony.

YARD x Bois Moisset Cuvée (exclusive cuvée) Red 2024

Domaine Bois Moisset

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born in the vibrant Gaillac region, the YARD x Bois Moisset Rouge 2024 is an ode to the diversity of the ancestral grape varieties of Southwest France. In this free-spirited cuvée, classified as a Vin de France, Domaine Bois Moisset skillfully blends three emblematic varieties: Braucol, with its rustic and wild character; Duras, vibrant and spicy; and a touch of Gamay, which rounds out the whole with its fruity freshness. This bold combination, conceived as a nod to local roots as much as to contemporary tastes, expresses a sun-drenched clay-limestone terroir, which gives the wine its power and purity.

Cultivation methods

At Domaine Bois Moisset, the vine is first and foremost a living ally, respected in its rhythm and needs. Certified organic, the vineyard management excludes all artifice: here, the soils breathe, nourished by natural compost, carefully worked, and the vines are observed, listened to, and supported rather than constrained. The harvest is done by hand, guaranteeing meticulous sorting and intact bunches. In the cellar, the winemaking follows the same philosophy: minimal intervention, indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction to preserve the fruit and reveal the texture, without masking the soul of the grape. The result is a sincere, deeply rooted wine that speaks of humanity as much as of nature.

Tasting & pairings

The YARD x Bois Moisset Rouge Cuvée reveals itself in an intense, luminous, and deep ruby robe. The nose opens with a frank and charming bouquet of ripe red fruits—cherry, strawberry, redcurrant—enhanced by peppery notes and a slightly smoky touch, a signature of the Duras and Braucol grape varieties. On the palate, the attack is lively and juicy, then the structure takes hold: present but integrated tannins give the wine its character and poise. The long finish leaves a spicy and luscious impression, full of vitality.

It's the perfect companion for convivial moments: a barbecue with friends, grilled lamb chops, a ribeye steak cooked over a wood fire, or even oriental-inspired cuisine with mild spices. Structured and generous, this vintage invites sharing and warmth, while allowing the fruit and terroir to fully express themselves.

The YARD Rouge 2024 Cuvée by Bois Moisset is not just a wine: it is an outstretched hand, an invitation to rediscover Gaillac in a free and vibrant light.

YARD x Bois Moisset Cuvée (exclusive cuvée) Sparkling Rosé 2024

Domaine Bois Moisset

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born from the dialogue between the ancestral terroir of Gaillac and a contemporary vision of winemaking, the YARD x Bois Moisset Sparkling Wine 2024 embodies a luminous encounter between tradition and freshness. The Bois Moisset estate, located in the heart of the Tarn vineyards, passionately cultivates the indigenous grape varieties Braucol and Duras. These varieties, typical of Southwest France, lend their unique character to this rosé: Braucol for its vivacity and aromas of red fruit, and Duras for its finesse and floral notes. The clay-limestone soil, bathed in sunshine and caressed by the breezes of the Tarn River, imparts a beautiful tension and a pure expression of fruit to the grapes.

Cultivation methods

Long committed to sustainable viticulture, Domaine Bois Moisset is certified organic. The vines are cultivated without synthetic inputs, in a living ecosystem where observation takes precedence over intervention. The soils are worked gently, fostering flourishing biodiversity and true harmony between the vine and its environment. This artisanal philosophy naturally extends to the cellar, where winemaking is as gentle as possible. The secondary fermentation, likely natural, gives this cuvée its sparkling, fine bubbles, without ever compromising the purity of the fruit.

Tasting & pairings

Slightly cloudy, by design, this 2024 sparkling rosé displays a delicate, salmon-pink hue. On the nose, an intoxicating bouquet of orange blossom and strawberry unfolds, reminiscent of the sweetness of a spring garden. On the palate, the bubbles are lively yet delicate, supporting a light and refreshing, almost carefree, texture. The overall impression is dry, remarkably drinkable, with a fruity touch that evokes homemade strawberry granita.

Ideal for pairing with lightly sweetened desserts, such as raspberry panna cotta or a delicate peach tart, this wine also proves remarkably well-suited to raw fish: sashimi, ceviche, or tartare harmonize beautifully with its floral freshness and fine acidity. A free-spirited, joyful, and genuine sparkling wine, perfect for spontaneous moments, summer aperitifs, and large gatherings where toasts are raised informally but with enthusiasm.

Ambre dissous Red 2020

The Alonso Tribe

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Born in the vibrant Beaujolais region, La Tribu Alonso's 2020 Ambre Dissous is a distinctive red wine, a wine of character that breaks with established norms. While Gamay takes center stage, it is an uncommon Gamay, made from teinturier grapes – a rarity in the region. This bold choice results in a captivatingly deep color, almost cloudy like the ink of mystery, and already hints at a singular expression of the terroir.

The vineyard stretches across granite soils typical of Beaujolais, in an area where the influences of the nearby Rhône are felt, bringing darker, spicier notes and a welcome tension. It is a land of contrasts, between the freshness of the north and the generosity of the south, which La Tribu Alonso has managed to tame with rare sensitivity.

Cultivation methods

The Alonso Tribe is, above all, a philosophy. It's a return to the essentials, a work in symbiosis with nature, far removed from artifice. The vines are cultivated without chemical inputs, respecting living organisms, lunar cycles, and the energies of the land. Here, each bunch is hand-picked, in an almost ritualistic gesture, then vinified with minimal intervention. Fermentation occurs naturally, with indigenous yeasts taking the reins to best express the identity of the grape and its terroir.

This artisanal approach yields a free, vibrant, unadorned wine, where the grape variety can sing without a false note. Ambre Dissous is a reflection of nature embraced, sometimes wild, but always sincere.

Tasting & pairings

By the glass, Ambre Dissous 2020 immediately captivates with its deep, almost violet color, hinting at a wine with a strong character. The nose is a poem of spices: freshly ground black pepper, clove, with a delicate note of violet as a subtle reminder of Rhône influences. On the palate, the structure is assertive, the tannins present yet elegantly polished, offering a mouthfeel that is both firm and silky.

This wine is not meant to flatter; it challenges, questions, and invites contemplation. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, to awaken the taste buds, or at the table, alongside a generous dish: a matured rib of beef, a lamb tagine with prunes, or even a wild mushroom risotto.

Ambre Dissous is a wine for sharing, but also for meditation. A bottle that tells a story, that of a marginalized grape variety, a reinvented terroir, and a tribe that, far from the beaten track, forges its own path with heart and conviction.

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.

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.

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.

Ceci n'est pas un vin White 2023

La Tribu Alonso

Ceci n'est pas un vin is still a wine, white, dry, organic, and natural, with no added sulfites. Made in Beaujolais by Cyril of La Tribu Alonso, it is classified as a Vin de France. It is 100% Chardonnay, but there are twenty-eight different varieties in the bottle. Just as the red wine Ambre dissolve is inspired by Salvador Dalí, this one obviously alludes to Henri Magritte (see the label).

Vinification

The collection of twenty-eight Chardonnays from the ampelothèque, from which Ceci n’est pas un vin is made, is planted on a half-hectare plot on granite, with wild grass, agroforestry and no tillage. The vines, pruned in the goblet style, are between four and thirty years old. There are Chardonnays here of all tastes and colors (white, pink, muscaté, etc.), and it seems that the multiplicity of grape varieties gives a whole new face to this Chardonnay, unfortunately a little overused in the world of viticulture. "We are moving away from the boring Chardonnay," says Cyril. The manual harvest goes into direct pressing and, after a 48-hour settling process, only sees from the vat to its bottling. Alcoholic fermentation without starter culture using indigenous yeasts, malolactic fermentation also in fiberglass vats. Zero chemical inputs, in the vineyard and in the cellar, and zero added sulfites.

Tasting

Surprisingly, Ceci n’est pas un vin: the opposite of classic Chardonnay, it has great qualities of resistance. Solid, fine and balanced. A dry white wine with no added sulfites that has a very long shelf life once opened, it is rare and unique. It can last, recorked, for a whole week. On the nose and palate, it is a marvel of perfume and aroma, as if it offered the quintessence of Chardonnay through all its varieties. Salty, iodized, aromatic and floral, it evokes peach or apricot blossom, white peach, and its acidity-alcohol balance will allow it to be kept between 5 and 7 years. It can be drunk whenever you want, with oysters, shellfish, raw or smoked fish, tapas, fine starters and any elegant and refined cuisine.

Learn more about the Alonso Tribe

This tribal name refers to Cyril Alonso, winemaker, his wife, naturopath, and their family. They take care, using organic farming methods, of a conservatory of traditional grape varieties from the Rhône-Alpes region located in Marchampt (Rhône), in the heart of the Beaujolais Vert region. This two-and-a-half-hectare ampel library, which has existed since 1952, contained forty grape varieties. It currently contains one hundred and forty. This unique location gives the Tribu Alonso wines their particular style. Instead of being single-varietal microcuvées, they are quite the opposite: wines by grape variety family, either a Chardonnay containing all the Chardonnays of the house or a multi-Gamay Gamay.

A biotope classified in 2008

The estate enjoys a unique ecological location: the house and the vineyard are surrounded by untouched forests, on the steep terrain of northern Beaujolais. Three rivers cross it, and the vines, close to the bedrock, capture all the minerality of the soil. Organic farming is practiced and the work, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, is entirely manual, without the use of any chemical additives or sulfites in the winemaking process.

The wines

Cuvées of co-plantation (and for good reason), the wines of the Tribu Alonso embrace all the complexity of their grape varieties and the viticultural history of Beaujolais. These are carefully crafted wines, made with great care, fermented and aged to the sound of Tibetan bowls, whose alpha waves are beneficial to the liquids. The vatting periods are short, to preserve the freshness and fruit, as well as the signature of the soil and grape varieties.

Cahors Red 2018

Danis dans la vigne

A Cahors, quite simply: this 100% Malbec red wine, organic and natural, is produced by Danis Bessières and Domaine de l’Antenet in the Cahors AOC. It is, strictly speaking, Danis’s father’s Cahors, from a vintage that has already matured.

Vinification

The Malbec vines grow at Domaine de l’Antenet, in the Cahors region. The harvest is cultivated and vinified without additives or sulfites. "If I have the joy today of letting you taste these vintages from the past, it is thanks to the perseverance, talent and flair of my father. He knew very well how to give time the care to preserve the beautiful years, confident that he was in the capacity of well-made wine to travel the ages."

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... Everything we love in Cahors. Powerful, full-bodied, but drinkable and very supple for the appellation.

Learn more about Danis dans la vigne

Under the name Danis dans la vigne, Danis Bessières vinifies organic grapes from the family estate, Domaine de l'Antenet, which was the first organic vineyard in Cahors in the early 1980s.

Organic and natural since 1983

Danis respects the principles established in the vineyard and winery by his grandfather and then his father: making wines without additives, organic and natural, from local grape varieties while respecting the environment. It was in 1983 that his grandfather obtained the organic label Lemaire-Boucher, followed by Nature & Progrès and then the organic labels AB and Eurofeuille. Danis Bessières continues in this vein.

Malbec, but not only

Malbec reigns supreme in the Cadurcian region, but Danis also uses Cabernets, Jurançon Noir, Merlot, and recently created grape varieties, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Colombard as single-varietals. These experiments allow him to moderate the density and opacity of the main grape variety.

Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru "Monts Luisants" Red 2022,

Frédéric Cossard 2022
From the Monts Luisants plot, this organic and natural red premier cru is a rarity. Vinified by Frédéric Cossard, it is a beautiful Burgundy wine in the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation, in the Côte de Nuits.

Vinification
The small clay-limestone Monts Luisants plot is located above the village of Morey-Saint-Denis. The Pinot Noir planted here is of the Pinot Fin variety, a very old and increasingly rare strain. The vines are around seventy years old. The vines are cultivated without pesticides and the wine is made without any additives or added sulfites, with whole bunch maceration.

Tasting
A dense, powerful, complex and elegant wine, a Burgundian gem like Frédéric Cossard knows how to make. This Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru "Monts Luisants" is overflowing with aromas of fresh fruit, substance and depth, with notes of red fruits and violets. This bewitching wine promises to improve for a long time, ten years and more. If you don't taste it beforehand, enjoy it with charcuterie, cured meats, roasted or grilled meats. A beautiful piece of wagyu from Spain or Japan selected by Aitana, that sounds tempting! Or a good fatty steak from Mézenc, not bad either with this great Burgundy.

Frédéric Cossard gives the floor in organic and natural mode to the wines of Burgundy (and elsewhere), undistorted by agricultural chemicals, according to the style and convictions of this winegrower and merchant. Wherever the grapes come from, his wines bear the Cossard brand, both classic and creative.

Between viticulture and trading
Frédéric Cossard created the Chassorney estate in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, then ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne-Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. Since the recent sale of this estate, Frédéric continues to manage his trading house, created in 2006 in his own name. He vinifies grapes from the greatest climates of Burgundy, but also from the Jura, Languedoc and elsewhere.

A solid commitment to nature
At Frédéric Cossard, the work of the soil and the vines is done naturally: plowing by horse, biodynamics, no chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The harvest, by hand, is carried out at full maturity. Frédéric Cossard's vintages are rare and coveted, wines that are always highly anticipated but which sometimes require waiting.

Vin de Lies White 2019/20 Magnum

Jean Yves Peron

Vin de Lies is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine that Jean-Yves Péron makes every two vintages in his Savoyard cellars. It is based on a viticultural practice that is little known outside the profession, but which produces a highly regarded wine. It is not normally sold commercially but reserved for the cellar team. Classified as a Vin de France, it is therefore a treat bestowed upon us by the winemaker. And I might as well tell you that the magnum format makes it an even more monumental treat... The roundness and polish of the wine are further enhanced;

Vinification

The lees wine method consists, after racking the barrels or aging tanks, of gathering all the lees in a single tank. These lees are suspended in a small quantity of wine, which is again decanted and recovered once or twice. Nourished by the lees, the red obtained in this way is smoother, softer, and the white is less tense, rounder. To make this vintage, Jean-Yves Péron combined the lees from all his 2019 whites and some of those from 2020 (thus bringing together all his terroirs, both Savoyard and Italian). The grape varieties include Jacquère, Muscat, Altesse, Mondeuse, Favorita (Vermentino), Muscat à Petit Grain, Roussanne…

Tasting

This is the true “house cuvée,” generally very popular. “It’s a wine for pleasure,” says Jean-Yves Péron. “It can be drunk anytime, from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.!” We can predict this moment of grace for next winter, which is upon us as this cuvée is released. Pairings: it goes with everything. Beautiful poultry, fine fish, seafood and shellfish…

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. 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.

Italian-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.
