Ploussard Red 2022,

Fréderic Cossard

With this 2022 Ploussard cuvée, Frédéric Cossard, Burgundy's iconic winemaker, offers us a delicate and pure interpretation of this iconic Jura grape variety. Carefully produced and respecting natural principles, this wine seduces with its finesse and freshness.

A Ploussard of elegance

Produced using a viticulture method without additives and gentle vinification, this Ploussard fully expresses the lightness and liveliness of the grape variety. The low extraction and controlled aging allow for a fine and airy structure, where the fruit expresses itself brilliantly.

A subtle nose and a silky palate

The nose reveals delicate notes of fresh red fruits (redcurrant, raspberry), accompanied by a floral and slightly spicy touch. On the palate, the body is supple and elegant, carried by a lively acidity and melted tannins. The persistent finish leaves a beautiful sensation of purity and freshness.

What to taste with this Ploussard?

Served at 16-18°C, this Ploussard will perfectly accompany roast poultry, beef carpaccio or a platter of mature cheeses. With an aging potential of 5 to 10 years, it will evolve towards even more complex aromas.

Morey Saint Denis les Champs de la Vigne Qvevris Red 2020,

Frédéric Cossard

This Morey-Saint-Denis Les Champs de la Vigne 2020, by Frédéric Cossard, is a true ode to Pinot Fin, a rare and precious strain of Pinot Noir. Aged in qvevri, this wine reveals exceptional purity and depth, enhancing the richness of its terroir.

The Morey-Saint-Denis AOC, a showcase for an exceptional wine

Located between Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation is renowned for its powerful yet refined reds. Here, Frédéric Cossard delivers a natural and lively interpretation, from sixty-year-old vines rooted in clay-limestone soils. The result is a wine of great minerality, where the structure and elegance of the terroir are sincerely expressed.

The unique imprint of qvevri vinification

Far from classic barrel aging, this Morey-Saint-Denis was vinified and matured in buried terracotta jars. This technique, inspired by Georgian tradition, gives the wine a beautiful satiny texture, natural aeration and a pure expression of fruit. On the nose, bright red fruits, morello cherry and subtle earthy nuances herald a full and vibrant palate. The body is silky and velvety, with a deep minerality and fine tannins that ensure great length.

A wine for aging and gastronomy

This Morey-Saint-Denis is a emotional bottle, perfect to be enjoyed young with its fruit or after 5 to 10 years of aging, when it will develop all its complexity. Serve between 16 and 18°C, it will pair wonderfully with roast poultry, stewed meats or mature cheeses. A great Burgundy wine, natural and vibrant, not to be missed.

La Petite Robe White 2022

Jean-Yves Péron

La Petite Robe is a dry, organic, biodynamic, and natural macerated white wine made in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron. It is a 100% Jacquère white, classified as a Vin de France. It is not fined, filtered, or sulfited.

Vinification

The Jacquère vines grow on clay-limestone soil, in the place called Les Marches, at the foot of Mont Granier. La Petite Robe comes from roughly the same terroir as Les Œillets, but this vintage is harvested earlier. Carbonic maceration lasts two weeks. The wine is aged for one year in 15-hectoliter tuns and barrels.

Tasting

The Petite Robe, wonderfully sweet and crisp, is yet another great success from Jean-Yves Péron. There are actually two Petites Robes: the wine will be very different depending on whether it is in magnum or bottle. Jean-Yves likes to talk about this as an exercise in style. Here, in 75 cl, the Jacquère gives its opulent, gourmet, fruity, fleshy side, with volume on the palate. The Petite Robe offers notes of charcoal, white fruits, a beautiful balance and great intensity, combined with a note of controlled oxidation. This wine is ideal with smoked, raw, or cooked seafood.

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 surfaces, his mountain vines in micro-plots, worked by hand, 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.

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 in Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his winemaking and aging experiences.

XL Ancestral Sparkling White 2021

Partida Creus
"With its delicious, straightforward, saline acidity and fine, festive bubbles, 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. Very elegant, XL Xarel·lo Ancestral is a highly drinkable and enjoyable Vino de Mesa (table wine). Made from the indigenous Catalan Xarel·lo grape variety, harvested by hand and directly pressed, it is fermented in stainless steel vats using indigenous yeasts and finishes fermenting in bottles on fine lees for a minimum of ten months, without the slightest addition of sulfites.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both from a winemaking and historical perspective – we're talking 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-known – first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug tickled them, and soon they abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they found a quantity 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 heritage, no: it's a matter of taste and nature. Of wines nature, which they will continue to do 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. 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: it is a true conservatory of native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. There is also moscatel, grenache, merlot and cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast of cultivating so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety as best as possible: single-variety wines 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 vintage. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straight and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.

i Vicini Cortese White 2021

Jean Yves Peron

This is a dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron, organic, biodynamic, and natural, vinified in Savoie from organic Cortese grapes harvested in Piedmont. It is a merchant cuvée from the I Vicini series. The grapes come from Asti, in a cool microclimate that allows for relatively late ripening.

Vinification

Cortese is an ancient grape variety often associated with Trebbiano or Garganega. It produces a quality wine, fresh and tangy, with a straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. Here it undergoes two weeks of carbonic maceration and spends a year aging in 34 hectoliter tuns. No fining, no filtration, no addition of sulfites.

Tasting

I Vicini Cortese is a light and fresh wine, very digestible, with an alcohol content between 10 and 11 degrees, making it easy to drink. It has a minerality due to the terroir and notes of citrus, especially lemon zest. A perfect companion for tapas and the most refined starters, shellfish and caviars.

Susucaru Blanc 2024

Description

With Susucaru Bianco 2024, Frank Cornelissen offers an approachable white wine while maintaining the identity that has made his wines famous. Primarily made from Catarratto, complemented by Carricante and Grecanico Dorato, this wine offers a fresh and saline interpretation of Sicily. The nose reveals notes of citrus, crisp apple, pear, and white flowers, enhanced by a delicate mineral touch. On the palate, it is vibrant, precise, and particularly refreshing, with a taut finish that immediately calls for a second sip.

Winemaking

A blend of 40% Catarratto Extra Lucido, 30% Carricante, and 30% Grecanico Dorato. Destemmed, lightly crushed, then fermented with a pied de cuve using only indigenous yeasts. Approximately 3 hours of skin maceration, followed by 10 months aging in neutral tanks (epoxy). Unfined, lightly filtered before bottling.

Perspectives White 2025

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.

Vin du conservatoire White 2024

La Tribu Alonso

Terroir, plot size and grape varieties

Nestled in the unexpected corners of Beaujolais, far from the clichés of ubiquitous Gamay, the 2024 Vin du Conservatoire unveils a little-known and profoundly vibrant facet of this generous land. Crafted by the Tribu Alonso, a collective of winemakers passionate about biodiversity and freedom, this still white wine draws its originality from an atypical plot where Grenache Blanc and Macabeu coexist in perfect harmony. But the magic also comes from a unique, symbiotic planting: Muscat Chardonnay, Floreal, Villard Blanc, and Alain Bouquet intertwine in a vegetal ballet that is both free and precise. Here, each grape variety plays its part in rhythm with the seasons, for a collective expression of the terroir, far from the beaten path.

Cultivation methods

The Tribu Alonso cultivates much more than grapes: it cultivates a philosophy. A philosophy of unconditional respect for all living things, without artifice or labels, but with a keen awareness of the winemaker's role as guardian of a fragile balance. No synthetic treatments, constant observation of the vines, and minimal intervention in the cellar: this is the credo of this committed tribe. Winemaking follows the same guiding principle, where the human hand guides rather than corrects. The result? A wine without makeup, naturally fermented, that expresses the richness of its ecosystem in every glass.

Tasting & pairings

From the first whiff, the 2024 Vin du Conservatoire captivates with its floral finesse: delicate violet, spring white blossoms, and a light whisper of ripe apricot that caresses the senses. On the palate, the tension is palpable, with a vibrant acidity that structures the wine without making it stiff. The texture is supple, almost caressing, carried by a subtly saline and lingering finish. One finds there that sensation of purity, like spring water flowing through living soil.

At the table, this characterful white wine is wonderful as an aperitif, where its freshness awakens the taste buds. It then reveals itself to be a perfect match for smoked fish, trout gravlax, or white meats with herbs, highlighting their aromas without ever overpowering them.

A rare, free and vibrant wine, which tells its own story of Beaujolais.

Les Bonnes Quilles Blanc 2023

Domaine de Bois-Moisset
Originating from Gaillac in Occitanie, organic and natural, Les Bonnes Quilles is a white wine from Domaine Bois-Moisset, obtained through light maceration and classified as a Vin de France. This marvel of balance and aroma will seduce you with its personality and adaptability to all occasions.

Vinification
Les Bonnes Quilles blanc is a blend of three grape varieties: Loin-de-l'œil 70%, Muscadelle 20%, and Sauvignon 10%. The vines grow on the clay-limestone molasse soils of the first slopes of Gaillac and the grapes are harvested by hand. The harvest is directly pressed with a short five-day maceration for the loin-de-l'œil, a Gaillac variety named for the length of its petiole.

Tasting
Les Bonnes Quilles deserves its name: great freshness, original aromas of pear and grapefruit with notes of rose. An endearing white wine where the macerated loin-de-l'œil plays the role of a spice. This wine for friends and good food, with its sunny and convivial profile, will accept solid pairings, nothing scares it: roasted white meats, beautiful poultry, grilled fish or fish in sauce, or country cuisine.

Learn more about the Bois-Moisset estate
In the heart of the oldest vineyard in France — that of Gaillac, in the Tarn — Sylvie Ledran, Philippe Maffre and their son Hippolyte watch over their Bois-Moisset estate, a wine-growing property associated with a mixed crop-livestock activity, all in organic farming. Gaillac is famous for its many very old indigenous grape varieties, and its wine-growing heritage is uniquely rich.

Cows and vines
The Bois-Moisset estate is also home to a herd of old local breed cows and guest rooms are available during the summer. It is in this small rural paradise that natural wines typical of their origin and their terroir are born, on fifteen hectares of boulbènes, gravelly and sandy-loam soils carried by the Tarn for thousands of years.

Native grape varieties
The grape varieties are dominated by Syrah and Duras, but the wines of the Bois-Moisset estate reflect the ampelographic richness of the Gaillac region (braucol, prunelart, loin-de-l’œil, mauzac, braucol, ondenc, etc.). The red wines are crisply fruity, concentrated but with smooth and delicate tannins, the whites have character and the pet’ nat’ are particularly tasty.

Volnay Qvevris Red 2018

Frederic Cossard

This Pinot Noir from the Qvevris series (aged for ten months in Georgian-style terracotta jars), from the Les Lurets plot, offers great freshness and elegance on the palate. The fruit is enhanced, as the olfactory notes suggest: black cherry, candied fruit, spices, pepper... The clay aging gives a particular silkiness to this superb Volnay.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

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

Bodegas Coruña del Conde
Julien López's I'm Natural, Don't Panic range consists of macerated wines. This 100% Tempranillo red is powerful, dense, and generous, but not lacking in freshness, the result of a high-altitude climate that subjects the vines to significant temperature variations. A lovely bouquet of red and black fruits. Decanting will allow it to express its full opulence. For grilled meats, roast lamb, grilled octopus, stews, cocido.
Ideally a wine to be decanted.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Bistrologie White 2022

Jean-Pierre Robinot

Bistrologie is a dry white wine from Jean-Pierre Robinot, organic and natural, from his Sarthe terroirs (Jasnières and Coteaux-du-Loir). One hundred percent Chenin, as always, you don't change a winning grape variety. Its name will remind some that Jean-Pierre once ran a wine bistro in Paris.

Vinification

Bistrologie is made from forty-year-old Chenin vines growing on soils of red clay, limestone, and flint. The harvest is pressed directly into barrels, where the must ferments and rests on its lees for fifteen months until bottling. Without any chemical additives, filtration or addition of sulfites.

Tasting

Superb juice, intense, lively and saline, fresh and earthy minerality, acidic and salivating structure. Bistrologie is a full-bodied and powerful white wine, with a formidable minerality and seductive notes of roasted pears and apples. Honey and acidity coexist without contradicting each other, with a little herbaceousness in the taste structure. This wine is alive, constantly evolving, it can display slightly different profiles depending on its aging. It will be a pleasure to pair with oysters and seafood, smoked salmon, fine poultry and roasted white meats: it is made for gastronomy.

Learn more about Jean-Pierre Robinot

Anyone interested in natural wine in France has met Jean-Pierre Robinot one day and has never forgotten this smiling and bouncy figure. If we have not yet succeeded in proving that all wines resemble their winemaker (a study to be undertaken), the organic and natural wines made by Jean-Pierre, warm, friendly and luminous, are in the image of their author. After having run the wine bar L’Ange Vin, rue Richard-Lenoir, in Paris for nearly fifteen years, Jean-Pierre returned to his native Chahaignes, a small village in the south of Sarthe. His dream is to acquire his vineyard and make natural wines, without added sulfites.

Great terroirs of the Loir and tuffeau cellars

Jean-Pierre therefore reclaims hillside wasteland, on great terroirs, as well as troglodyte cellars dug into the tuffeau. 2002 will be his first vintage. At the same time, under the L’Opéra des vins brand, he vinifies organic grapes purchased from local winegrowers. A member of the natural viticulture association S.A.I.N.S., Jean-Pierre Robinot practices demanding organic viticulture, without chemical weeding or added sulfites. The soil is worked and amended with natural composts. All harvests, carried out at maturity on healthy grapes, are done by hand. The location and climate favor noble rot.

Les Œillets Blanc 2022

Jean-Yves Péron
Vinified in Savoie, Les Œillets is a dry macerated white wine made by Jean-Yves Péron. Organic, biodynamic, and natural, it is a 100% Jacquère white, with no additives or added sulfites, classified as a Vin de France.

Vinification
Les Œillets comes from the same terroir as La Petite Robe (the clay-limestone soils of the lieu-dit Les Marches, at the foot of Mont Granier), but it is harvested later to achieve greater phenolic maturity and a higher tannin concentration. Carbonic maceration for four or five days is followed by a month of punching down in vats. At least one year of aging in 300-liter barrels.

Tasting
Woody, with explosive minerality and beautiful tension, Les Œillets by Jean-Yves Péron is an atypical white wine with powerful aromatic notes. Lots of fruit and candied citrus. Superbly structured, Les Œillets has chewiness, texture, a tannic mouthfeel and a note of controlled oxidation. The tension is strong, balanced by a note of apricot. This is a wine for roasted poultry and high-end cured meats, but its pairings are broad.

Vino Rosso Rossetto Red 2021,

Corva Gialla

Fruit and drinkability above all: Rossetto was designed to be joyful and easy to drink. Azienda Corvagialla sought to promote maximum acidity in the harvest to obtain a pleasant wine with a very present fruity note: cherry and strawberry, on the nose as well as on the palate. This wine is a distinguished gurgling wine, a wine for pleasure and relaxation with friends that you will love to return to on any occasion. Rossetto is a 100% Sangiovese from the most vigorous plot of the vineyard: made up of volcanic soils, it faces west and is located at an altitude of 450 meters.

The Azienda Corva Gialla ("yellow crow") is a wine estate in Lazio, Italy, located on the edge of Umbria in the Alta Tuscia Viterbese. A volcanic region considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and characterized by its calanches, tall tuff rock formations delimiting deep valleys carved by numerous streams and torrents. Corva Gialla is located in Lubriano, opposite Civita di Bagnoregio. Alta Tuscia is proving to be a breeding ground for young winemaking talents devoted to nature who are promoting these lands deprived throughout history. Founded in 2017, the estate comprises four hectares cultivated by Beatrice Arweiler, originally from another wine-growing region, between the Rhine and the Moselle. The new owner also planted an olive grove (Frantoio and Leccino varieties) and developed the estate into a mixed crop and livestock system. The vines were planted with the help of Gian Marco Antonuzzi of the Le Coste estate. The friable volcanic soil lends itself beautifully to viticulture and the planting of grape varieties such as Grechetto d'Umbria, Trebbiano, Vermentino, Sangiovese, and Ciliegiolo. The estate's wines are quintessentially Italian, meaning they are crafted primarily for enjoyment. They are straightforward, deep, and easy to drink, expressing the strong minerality of their soils.

Côtillon des dames réserve White 2020

Jean-Yves Péron

Côtillon des Dames Réserve is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine made in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron from Jacquère, Altesse, and Roussanne grapes. Classified as a Vin de France, it is, as its name suggests, a reserve cuvée, particularly refined.

Vinification

Côtillon des Dames Réserve by Jean-Yves Péron is made from Jacquère, Altesse, and Roussanne grapes. The plots are located on mica-schist soils in Albertville, on limestone scree in Fréterive and on limestone in Chignin. The grapes are vinified separately and blended approximately two months before bottling. Maceration in vats with punching down is carried out for two months. The idea is to be able to control the evolution of the juice and balance the wine according to the behavior of each grape variety. The wine is aged for three years in 300-month barrels.

Tasting

Côtillon des Dames Réserve is a complex, elegant and fruity white wine that should be enjoyed, as it is rare. It displays lovely acidity and good aging potential.

Le Blanc des Garennes White 2020,

Fond Cyprès

A beautiful texture, with notes of citrus and exotic fruits. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier grown on the same plot: a southern blend that produces a truly southern white wine, original, balanced, fresh, structured by light maceration, fermented and aged in barrels. Its profile is atypical in Corbières. A distinctive feature: the plot was planted according to the desired wine, and chosen to face north to ensure good acidity. The three grape varieties are harvested at different ripeness levels. As soon as the Viognier (later ripening) is ripe, everything is harvested together: the Grenache Blanc is often overripe. This produces a very unique flavor balance, between freshness, richness, and roundness. After direct pressing, the must is vinified in old 225-liter barrels, then aged for ten months. It can be kept for around ten years, if given time: all pairings suit it.

Find out more
This Languedoc estate is built on solid foundations: its two winemakers, Rodolphe and Laetitia, are also descendants of winemakers. Even before planting their first vine, they already had a clear objective: "to produce southern wines that reflect us, wines with character attached to our soils, with freshness and refined tannins." They want to obtain entirely natural wines, concentrates of terroir. In the old Corbières massif, they are taking over an old heart of the estate already planted with abandoned Carignan and Grenache, which have seen neither fertilizer nor pesticides for years: these clean and living soils are an ideal condition for launching into natural wine. Around this historic heart, they first planted Grenache Noir and Syrah, then a plot of white grape varieties: Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne. The estate has been Ecocert certified since 2010 and also complies with the Nature & Progrès charter. The vinification is done without the addition of sulfites or exogenous yeasts. "We make wines for pleasure," say Laetitia and Rodolphe. For them, natural wine is first assessed by taste, from the harvest. The vintages closely follow the plots, the musts are fruity, fluid, and complex. The wines of Fond Cyprès poetically evoke the estate's ecosystem and the vegetation that protects the plots: the pine forests, the shady springs, the beauty of the natural environment that brings freshness to the wines and leaves the soil's signature. Deliciously balanced between mineral imprint, vegetal environment and expression of fruit, the wines of Fond Cyprès reflect the South: the caress of its sun, but also the freshness of its shadows.

Sylvaner Natural White 2020,

Les Spontanés de GILG

The color of this beautiful dry natural Sylvaner is pale yellow with golden highlights. The nose is powerful and complex, laden with aromas of ripe stone fruit. On the palate, it is round, spherical, polished, generous, and slightly rich, with notes of grapefruit and peach. The finish is long and full of flavor. Within the diverse range of wines produced by the Gilg family, the Les Spontanés series is dedicated to natural wines, with no additives or sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar. This pure Sylvaner comes from young vines, aged eight years; It is ready to drink now and is ideally served between 8 and 10 °C.

Belonging to a family established since 1601 in the Alsatian wine-growing village of Mittelbergheim, the Armand Gilg estate bears the name of its founder, who resolutely oriented the family business towards viticulture in 1937. Since then, the Gilgs have remained in charge, having expanded the vineyard from an initial one hectare to twenty-nine hectares, purchased centuries-old cellars for bottles and tuns, and built buildings for pressing and other winemaking activities. The estate, classified as HVE (High Environmental Value) for several years, acquired organic farming certification in 2021. Its plots, scattered around the village, are grouped into around a hundred groups, including five hectares on the famous Grand Cru of Zotzenberg, one of the most renowned lieux-dits in Alsace, and one hectare planted solely with Riesling on the Grand Cru Moenchberg. Production embraces all seven traditional Alsatian grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer), also including Chardonnay for the Crémants and the Klevener de Heiligenstein (Savagnin Rose). While all the vintages of the Gilg estate are organic, two natural vintages are produced, one based on Pinot Noir, the other on Sylvaner, within the Les Spontanés series dedicated to wines without additives.

Je t'ai dans la peau White 2017,

Nicolas Chemarin

Nicolas Chemarin, nicknamed P’tit Grobis as a resident of Marchampt (Beaujolais), is the fourth generation of winegrowers on his family estate in the Beaujolais-Villages appellation, on stony land where he crafts wines of surprising depth and sincerity. He took over two hectares of his father's vines in 2005 and produced his first vintages in 2006. In 2008, he acquired other vineyards 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 form 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 wines undergo long macerations (from 18 to 30 days) with punching down and temperature control (Nicolas works cold, around 20 °C). The aging is partially done in thermoregulated concrete vats for a third, the remaining two thirds being spent in barrels of four to ten wines to provide oxygenation but little or no woody sensation. Nicolas Chemarin is already well known in the natural world for his sweet and fruity vintages, wines for pleasure, and for wines from difficult and magnificent terroirs, endowed with admirable and complex mineral, aromatic and spicy notes. As its name suggests, Je t’ai dans la peau is a matter of epidermis. Grape skin, of course, since it is a maceration white, an experiment carried out by Nicolas with various nuances since 2009 to obtain wines with a strong personality. The goal isn't to produce exuberant orange wines like those from Italy or the South, but rather controlled macerations with fruit and depth. The harvest comes from the same plot as P'tit Grobis Blanc: all Chardonnay, of course, on stony granite soils. The 2017 vintage is produced using pure maceration. This maceration is short: five to seven days. Aging is three years in barrels. This orange offers a beautiful old-gold color and delicately oxidative notes of walnut and hazelnut, leading to an exotic fruity palette. A superb balance to savor.
