XL Xarel·lo White 2020
Partida Creus
XL Xarel·lo is a smoky, explosive, lively, and mineral white wine that is also characterized by excellent drinkability and conviviality combined with uncommon depth and persistence. Classified as a Vino de Mesa (table wine), this is a classic white from the Partida Creus estate that offers a pure and typical expression of the native Catalan grape variety Xarel·lo. It is a good introduction to this winery's many vintages, as it is so representative of their style. Pair XL Blanco with seafood, fish, white meats, and roasted or grilled poultry.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective—we are talking here about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont—and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-versed—first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug tickled them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a number of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties, which they passionately revived to save these varieties—and their wines—from oblivion. For them, it's not just a matter of saving their heritage, no: it's a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will never stop making from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravel soils, poor and poorly irrigated, where the vines suffer to produce their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic, entirely manual and natural viticulture in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, ceciat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel·lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel·lo: it is a true conservatory of the native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. There is also Moscatel, Grenache, Merlot and Cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast of growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single varietals are common among them, alongside very rich blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that indicate the cuvée. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.
Riesling Origin Blanc 2021
Jean-Marc Dreyer
Green fruits, balanced acidity, elegance, complexity: plenty of structure and depth; Jean-Marc Dreyer's Riesling Origin is what we call a wine for meditation. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range is dedicated to single-varietal cuvées based on Alsatian varieties. Here, whole-bunch maceration exposes Riesling in a completely new light: ignoring the petrol notes (which are present, but politely wait until the finish to reveal themselves), the wine expresses a structured verticality balanced by a gentle roundness. Very mineral, but this time it's the soil you feel, not the diesel can. This wine was aged for eleven months in the Alsatian style, that is, in foudres and demi-muids. Taste pairings? Don't look, it goes with everything. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

"Maceration in Alsace is a tradition!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, people worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the marc to the press. » Whole-bunch maceration is Jean-Marc Dreyer's signature and represents 85% of the estate's production, the remainder consisting of direct-pressed whites, often aged using controlled oxidation. Jean-Marc succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, established in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics, but he hesitated for a while between several methods: at first, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then came the sweet period: all his wines contained residual sugar. In 2008, he tried vinifying without any sulfur and found his direction: the following winter, upon returning from the pilgrimage to Compostela, he swore never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserts his style around skin maceration, quite advanced, chiseled, always surprising on Alsatian grape varieties, of which it brings out the structure without sacrificing the delicacy. Jean-Marc works in single-varietal or blended vintages and also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.
Ganache Red 2021,
A complex, innovative, and delicious wine, obtained after eight weeks of whole-bunch maceration. Bottling was done in June 2022. Ganache is not far from Grenache, that's it, you get the idea, and Gamay joins the fray. The famous southern grape variety, cultivated biodynamically and harvested in Carpentras (SCEA L’Authentique by Claude Ughetto), vinified in the Jura, doesn’t feel out of place at all: nothing prevents it from unleashing its brazenly fruity notes – cherry, fresh and candied strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, plum, dried fruit – enhanced with plum, black pepper, spices and chocolate. All that? Yes. Don’t be surprised by a slight reduction upon opening: aerate the wine, decant, or let it wait a little in the glass, it will disappear.

“You don’t need anything,” says Alice Bouvot, winemaker at Domaine de l’Octavin, “just a grape that’s comfortable in its own skin.” Everything is said in favor of natural wine, it’s a perfect description. Established in 2005, Domaine d'Alice is located in Arbois, in the Jura wine region, often described as the most organic vineyard in France. The practice of producing – among other things – oxidative wines is a good preparation for nature, as this type of wine does not allow any chemical additives and especially no sulfites. It is a secret of this magnificent region. Originally spread over two hectares, the estate, managed entirely biodynamically (Demeter) since 2010, has expanded through the gradual acquisition of plots and now covers seven hectares. An accomplished musician and passionate music lover, Alice aims to apply her musical sensitivity to the wines she makes. She draws a parallel between the technical perfection of conventional wines, which risks excluding feeling, while "a musician who does not know music theory and plays with his guts creates emotion." For her, living wine is like this: instinctive, improvised, emotional. Introduced to natural wine by Stéphane Planche, sommelier at chef Jean-Paul Jeunet in Arbois, she faithfully followed this path. The sometimes whimsical names of her vintages are inspired sometimes by musical art (Dorabella, Zerline), sometimes by the numerous plots of land that make up her vineyard (En Curon, Les Corvées, En Poussot, etc.), and do not disdain a pun from time to time. Likewise, the labels adorned with happy and salacious little gnomes are a signature of the estate. As for the grape varieties, they are the classics of the Jura: Poulsard, Trousseau, Pinot Noir for the reds, and Chardonnay, Savagnin for the whites. Alongside her Arbois wines, Alice has created a business selling "on the vine" grapes (Ecocert certified) with her winegrower friends in the region. Natural, committed, joyful and highly drinkable, Alice Bouvot's wines are all the more sought-after as the vintages, produced in plot-by-plot mode, appear, disappear and reappear depending on the vintage and inspiration.
Grenabar Rouge 2021,
Domaine de l'Octavin
Grenabar 2021 is a joyful, fruity, and borderline rosé wine, with decidedly maraschino cherry, blood orange, and watermelon notes, with well-ripened tannins and moderate acidity that makes it very adaptable. Originally, it was made from Grenache and Colombard. For this vintage, it is made from Carignan and Vermentino (Rolle) produced biodynamically on granite and quartz soils (SCEA L’Authentique by Claude Ughetto in Carpentras). It is made by steeping whole-bunch Vermentino in Carignan must obtained by direct pressing. This maceration takes place for three weeks. Bottling was done in June 2022. This red wine also extends to the pairings traditionally associated with white wines. Very versatile and fresh on the palate.

Magnum XL Xarel lo Ancestral Sparkling White 2014
Partida Creus
With a few years of maturation further reinforcing its character while smoothing out the nuances, this smoky, deep, full-bodied, mineral, and explosive sparkling wine is a true invitation to celebrate. The nose offers aromas of ripe white fruits—apple, pear, white peach—followed by mineral notes on the palate that frame yeasty touches reminiscent of buttery pastries and fresh bread. Beautiful, straightforward, saline acidity. Very elegant, XL Xarel lo Ancestral is highly drinkable and enjoyable. Made from the native Catalan grape variety xarel lo, harvested by hand and pressed directly, it is fermented in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts and finished fermenting in bottles on fine lees for a minimum of ten months, without the slightest addition of sulfites.

Love Potion White 2019,
Love Potion Blanc 2019, from Clos Lentiscus, is a true declaration of love for natural wine. This still white from Catalonia seduces with its intense aromas, its delicious roundness, and its refreshing salinity. A captivating wine to be shared without moderation.
A rich blend and careful vinification
This wine is made from an unusual and refined blend: Muscat of Alexandria, Macabeu, Xarel·lo, Xarel·lo Vermell, and Sumoll, emblematic grape varieties of the Catalan terroir. Direct pressing, fermentation with indigenous yeasts and 36 months of aging in 55-liter demijohns give it a pure and natural expression. Bottling, carried out during the waxing moon, follows a biodynamic calendar that reinforces its energetic balance.
A seductive aromatic palette
Its golden color announces a sunny and generous wine. On the nose, the floral and fruity notes explode: fresh apple, citrus fruits, almond and hazelnut intermingle with a hint of iodine. On the palate, the roundness and saline freshness create a beautiful balance, underlined by a beautiful mineral persistence.
Pairings and Service
Served at 10-12°C, Love Potion Blanc 2019 will accompany A marvel with seafood, soft cheeses, or fragrant Mediterranean cuisine. Its aging potential of 5 to 10 years also allows you to explore its evolution over time.
A free and captivating wine, perfect for lovers of vibrant discoveries. A love potion to savor all year round.
On the Rock Again 2020,
Nicolas Chemarin
Deep, mineral, and hyper-complex yet highly drinkable, On The Rock Again presents a purple color with violet highlights. Its nose is floral (violet), carrying notes of wet rock and spices. The attack evokes ripe red fruits (raspberry, cherry). The aftertaste is long and lively with great salinity. The tannins, melted and elegant, give the wine a very pleasant roundness. This Gamay Noir à jus blanc cuvée directly alludes, through its title, to the omnipresent, outcropping rock of the Marchampts terroir, directly transmitting its earthy notes to the Gamay. The minerality of this superb hillside Beaujolais red, classified as a Vin de France, should come as no surprise. We recommend tasting at 12°C and uncorking, or even decanting, half an hour to an hour before serving this wine. The harvest is vatted by gravity, in whole bunches. Vatting lasts fifteen days at a controlled temperature (5 to 18°C), without pumping over. After pressing, the cuvée is aged in vats on fine lees for ten months. Bottled in the waning moon, in August following the harvest, without filtration or the addition of sulfites.

Nicolas Chemarin, nicknamed "P'tit Grobis" as a resident of Marchampt (Beaujolais), is the fourth generation of winemaker on his family wine estate in the Beaujolais-Villages appellation, on stony land where he crafts wines of surprising depth and sincerity. In 2005, he took over two hectares of vines from his father and in 2006 he produced his first vintages. In 2008, he acquired other vines and decided to devote himself solely to his estate, whose very steep terroir consists of poor, rocky soils on gray granite rock. The vines rest on the bedrock through very thin soil, and their roots plunge deep into the rock. Depending on the configuration of the soil, the vines are pruned in goblet or raised on stakes. Their average age is eighty years. The grape varieties, Gamay and Chardonnay, are classically Beaujolais. Nicolas also cultivates two other terroirs in the Régnié appellation: Les Bullats, with light, filtering sandy soils, and La Haute Ronze, very close to Morgon, whose deeper, clayey soils produce full-bodied wines. The vintages undergo long macerations (from 18 to 30 days) with punching down and temperature control (Nicolas works cold, around 20°C). The aging is done partially in thermoregulated concrete vats for a third, the remaining two thirds passing into barrels of four to ten wines in order to provide oxygenation but little or no woody sensation. Nicolas Chemarin is already very well known in the natural world for his sweet and fruity vintages, wines of pleasure, and for vintages from difficult and magnificent terroirs, provided with admirable and complex mineral, aromatic and spicy notes.
Magnum Pinot Noir 2020
Domaine Einhart
A velvety, ripe red, 100% Pinot Noir, with an intense, fragrant, and gently fruity aroma. The deep, purplish color evokes black cherry. The initial nose is enhanced by aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry) with a hint of freshness blended into a light vanilla woodiness. The second nose is more open, with aromas of blood orange, bitter almond, and kirsch. On the palate, the berries are still present, supported by present but well-melted tannins, leading to a velvety finish resting on a lovely freshness. Plenty of persistence and length. The Pinot Noirs from which it is made, aged around thirty years, grow on the muschelkalk (shell limestone) terroirs of Dittelsberg-Albermohn and are harvested by hand, then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes between ten and twelve days. Aging for one year on fine lees, in demi-muids, precedes bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives. Decanting is recommended so that it can fully express its finesse and grace.

Located in the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, horizontally above Strasbourg, the Einhart estate is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines are located on the hillsides that rise between the Alsace plain and the Vosges mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, i.e. shell limestone and oolite limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone). 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, winemaking without inputs, refusing harmful phytosanitary products and maintaining ecological refuge areas. His estate has been certified organic since 2011. Like Jean-Marc Dreyer, he is resolutely moving towards skin maceration and produces white maceration wines (orange wines) in addition to a Pinot Noir red. Entirely manual harvesting, 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 grape, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of the very beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.
Magnum BB "Cerrailla" Red 2019
Partida Creus
The Partida Creus estate is the brainchild of two Piedmontese natives from the Langhe (where wine is well-known), Antonella Gerosa and Massimo Marchiori, who initially pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There, they found a wealth of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties, which they passionately revived to save these varieties—and their wines—from oblivion. For them, it's not just a matter of heritage rescue, no: it's a matter of taste and nature. Of natural wines, which they will continue to make from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravel soils, poor and poorly irrigated, where the vines suffer to give their best juice. This is why their estate is as important from a winemaking perspective as it is from a historical perspective - we are talking here about the history of the vine in Catalonia.
Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic viticulture, entirely manual and natural in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, subirat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel.lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel.lo: Partida Creus is a veritable conservatory of native Catalan grape varieties.

This 100% Bobal is a racy and finely wild red from the Cerrailla plot, built on a grape variety common in Spain but whose expression here is very original. Dark cherry red color; on the nose, candy, sweet flowers, fresh fruits, violet, thyme. On the palate, a lot of distinction: a straight acidity and morello cherry, ripe plum, black pepper, a small saline touch on the finish. Serve well chilled.

This is a rosé with character, boasting great freshness in addition to its floral aromas.
Susucaru Rosato Rosé 2025
Description
Le Susucaru Rosato est devenu une véritable référence des rosés de gastronomie. À mi-chemin entre un rosé structuré et un rouge très léger, il séduit par son profil original mêlant fraîcheur, texture et énergie volcanique. Les arômes de fraise des bois, de cranberry, de grenade, de zestes d'agrumes et d'herbes méditerranéennes s'accompagnent d'une bouche souple, saline et remarquablement digeste. Un vin aussi à l'aise à l'apéritif qu'à table.
Vinification
Assemblage de Nerello Mascalese, Malvasia, Moscadella et Catarratto provenant de plusieurs contrade de l'Etna. Les raisins sont éraflés puis légèrement foulés avant une macération d'environ 10 jours. La fermentation démarre grâce à un pied de cuve de levures indigènes, suivie d'une fermentation malolactique complète. Élevage en cuves neutres de fibre de verre, sans collage et avec une filtration légère avant la mise en bouteille.
Weingarten Blanc 2024
Domaine Einhart
Under the guidance of Domaine Einhart in Alsace, the Weingarten cuvée embodies the delicacy of a Sylvaner expertly crafted on a clay-limestone terroir. Vinified with certified organic methods and without oenological artifice, this natural white wine expresses a beautiful purity of fruit, balanced by a fresh and direct structure. Here, the humblest grape variety flourishes fully on the most generous soils.
The winemaking process involves a pre-fermentation cold maceration (12 to 14 °C) for 24 hours, promoting aromatic expression without extracting undesirable tannic compounds. The subsequent direct pressing produces a clear and delicate juice, which is then aged in stainless steel tanks for 10 months, preserving all the wine's vibrancy. The estate relies on spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, in full respect of the grape and its ecosystem.
Upon tasting, Weingarten 2024 reveals a pale color with green reflections. The nose is vibrant: white flowers, herbaceous notes, and a hint of exotic fruits. On the palate, it is elegance itself: a full body yet always held by a vertical freshness. A slight, well-controlled bitterness on the finish prolongs the pleasure and makes you want more.
Ideal as an aperitif, this wine also lends itself to more daring pairings: Thai cuisine, spicy dishes, seafood, or tender-fleshed poultry. An expressive, versatile, and honest cuvée, to be enjoyed now or cellared for a few years.
Lumière des sens Red 2022
Jean-Pierre Robinot
With "Lumière des Sens" 2022, Jean-Pierre Robinot continues to skillfully explore all the finesse and expressiveness of Pineau d'Aunis, a fascinating Loire grape variety, here presented in a natural, sincere, and luminous version. Grown on clay-limestone soils, this red wine, without official label but fully respecting natural wine principles (no chemical inputs, vinification without laboratory yeasts, zero superfluous intervention in the cellar) stands as a declaration of intent: to offer the true taste of the grape and its soil.
The cuvée results from approximately one week of maceration, followed by a year of aging in barrels that have previously held several wines. This aging choice allows the wine to breathe, gaining roundness and depth while respecting the fruit's momentum. The nose is immediately engaging: fresh red fruits, white pepper, humus, and that hint of undergrowth reminiscent of a forest walk after the rain.
The palate is both juicy and elegant, stretched by a well-balanced natural acidity and supported by supple tannins. This earthy wine reveals an almost tactile character, between vegetal freshness, a spicy frame, and a slightly earthy finish reminiscent of wild mushrooms.
"Lumière des Sens" perfectly complements characterful cuisine: red meats, spicy dishes, or roasted poultry with herbs. It can be enjoyed now after a slight decanting but will gain complexity with 10 years or more of aging. Serve between 14 and 16°C, in a large glass that will allow it to open up.
Once again, Jean-Pierre Robinot delivers a vibrant, lively, and deeply endearing wine.
