G&M White 2022,
G&M (Grenache-Muscat and many other things) is an organic and natural dry white wine produced in Auvergne by Patrick Bouju, a maceration cuvée without added sulfites, vinified from grapes from Languedoc and Auvergne. It demonstrates all the winemaker's expertise through organic white grape varieties from various sources. Classified as a Vin de France, this is a very complete wine, adaptable to all occasions.
In the vineyard and in the cellar
To obtain G&M, Patrick Bouju blended Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Viognier from Pézenas, Muscat d'Alexandrie from Canet-en-Roussillon, Ugni Blanc and Grenache Gris from Pinet in Languedoc, and finally Chardonnay from Auvergne from his own vineyards. This is a maceration cuvée vinified in vats and terracotta amphorae.
Tasting
G&M offers a superb balance between opulence, perfume, liveliness and acidity. It is a rich and complex orange wine in its blend which is similar to the grand écart in the variety of provenances which in no way compromise the unity of the vintage, harmonized by aging in vats and terracotta. It goes with everything, including White Meats, poultry, fish, hot starters, mature cheeses or flaky pastries.
Learn more about Patrick Bouju and the La Bohème estate
Near Billom, the Auvergne Tuscany, once covered in vines, is the privileged domain of Gamay d'Auvergne, an ancient strain of the grape variety. It is here, on these volcanic soils, that Patrick Bouju works, mainly with old vines.
Viticulture and trade
Patrick breathes new life into the often abandoned terroirs of Puy-de-Dôme and its indigenous grape varieties. Under the La Bohème estate, he operates as a wine merchant using purchased organic grapes. His exclusive Culinaries partnerships are famous: with Action Bronson for the series A la Natural, with Jason Ligas in Greece for Sous le Végétal…
A winemaker who lends a helping hand
The current renaissance of the Auvergne vineyard (which was once the third largest in France) owes a lot to Patrick. The fact that he likes to lend a hand to his winemaker friends in France and elsewhere only confirms his image as a role model, a leader. Its noble, chiseled, distinguished, never trivial wines are immediately recognizable in the glass.
UGM Qvevris White 2023,
With UGM Qvevris White 2023, Frédéric Cossard offers a captivating natural white, made from a unique blend of Grenache Blanc, Muscat, and Ugni Blanc. Grown at the foot of Mont Ventoux on clay-limestone soils, these organic grapes are then vinified in Burgundy according to the winemaker's exacting principles.
Vinification in qvevri for a vibrant and expressive white
This wine is made with a no additives approach, with total respect for the fruit and the terroir. After a direct press, it is aged in buried amphorae (qvevris), an ancestral method which promotes gentle oxygenation and preserves a great aromatic purity. This unusual vinification process gives the wine a subtle balance between tension and roundness, with a texture that is both silky and invigorating.
An aromatic and indulgent white
The nose immediately seduces with its expressive notes of ripe white fruits, enhanced by a delicate floral touch. On the palate, the attack is gourmet and ample, carried by a beautiful liveliness which prolongs the tasting with a fresh and persistent finish. The combination of the natural acidity of Muscat and the elegance of Grenache Blanc creates a harmonious and luminous wine, perfect for awakening the taste buds.
Food Pairings and Aging Potential
Served between 8 and 10°C, UGM Qvevris White 2023 pairs wonderfully with cooked fish, roasted poultry or white meats. Ideal to drink today on its freshness, it can also be kept for 5 to 10 years, evolving towards more complex and textured notes. A white with character, natural and vibrant, which will surprise lovers of lively wines.
Organic White Pineau 2015
Terroir, plots, and grape varieties
It is in the heart of the limestone soils of Cognac, in this region where the sky and the vines have harmonized for centuries, that Alain Chadutaud passionately cultivates his Ugni Blanc. On typical clay-limestone soil, the roots draw the freshness and minerality necessary for the expression of a perfectly balanced white Pineau. The 2015 vintage, bathed in sunshine and tempered by Atlantic breezes, allowed for perfect grape maturation, giving birth to a generous and precise cuvée.
Cultivation methods
True to a philosophy that respects living things, Alain Chadutaud works biodynamically, with constant attention to soil vitality and vine balance. No synthetic inputs, but gentle practices, meticulous soil work, and natural preparations to support the plant throughout its cycle. The harvest, carried out at full maturity, precedes the subtle blending of grape juice and homemade Cognac eau-de-vie, according to the traditional savoir-faire of Pineau des Charentes. Aging takes place slowly in barrels, in order to develop this characteristic aromatic complexity.
Tasting & pairings
From the very first nose, the Organic Pineau 2015 opens with a charming bouquet of candied fruits, dried apricot, and acacia honey, underscored by a hint of sweet almond. On the palate, the magic happens: the attack is lively, almost lemony, followed by a honeyed roundness that caresses the palate, supported by a tangy framework that prevents any heaviness. The balance is perfect, the persistence remarkable, leaving a sensation of freshness and deliciousness on the finish.
This is a Pineau of character, both sunny and invigorating, ideal as an aperitif, served chilled with iodine-flavored appetizers or cheese puff pastries. It also nobly accompanies pan-seared foie gras, highlighting its richness without overpowering it. For dessert, it pairs wonderfully with an almond tart, a dark chocolate lava cake, or even a well-aged Roquefort for an intense sweet and savory experience.
Alain Chadutaud's Organic Pineau 2015 is much more than an aperitif: it is an invitation to discover a living terroir, an artisanal vision, and a mastery of time that expresses itself in every glass.
