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.

Partida Creus is an important estate, both in terms of wine and history – 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 they know a lot about wine – first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and soon they abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There they find a quantity of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties that they passionately revive to save these varieties – and their wines – from oblivion. For them, it is not just a matter of heritage rescue, no: it is 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 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: Partida Creus is a veritable conservatory of native Catalan grape varieties. It also grows moscatel, grenache, merlot and cabernet (among others). Few wineries can boast growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with the winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single-variety wines are common among them, alongside extensive 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 denote the vintage. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush yet always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, exude life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.
Magnum VY Vinyater Ancestral Sparkling White 2014
Partida Creus
Lively and fresh, creamy and full-bodied on the palate, this is a superb natural sparkling wine made from Vinyater (a traditional Catalan grape variety) that should be enjoyed, especially now that it has aged a little and is developing all the richness of its fresh notes – white flowers, almonds, white fruits – and its magnificent length. It will shine as an aperitif, for celebrations, and at the table with seafood, grilled white meats, sweetbreads, or a beautiful financial vol-au-vent. Vinyater is harvested by hand; Alcoholic fermentation takes place on the skins and on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. The wine finishes its fermentation for ten months in bottles on fine lees.

Rose Rosé 2017
Domaine Ruth Lewandowski
This simply named rosé comes from two exceptional plots: Matthew Rorick's vineyard in Calaveras, California, a very steep, high-altitude vineyard whose high-quality soils provide the Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) used in this blend. The other, Fox Hill Vineyard, nurtured the Portuguese grape varieties (Souzão and Touriga Nacional) that make up the rest. These fleshy, sappy, and tannic grapes, combined with the Tinta Roriz, allowed Ruth to create a rosé wine that redefines the conventional image of this type of wine: deep, earthy, and structured.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.
Canoupe Blanc 2022,
Danis dans la vigne
Canoupe is a white wine from Cahors made from organic and natural Colombard grapes, produced in Vin de France by Danis Bessières of Danis dans la vigne. It is a beautiful white from the Southwest of France with very advanced maturity. It is part of the "Esprit du lieu" range of single-plot cuvées vinified by Danis. Its name expresses the vigor and vitality of the estate's Colombards: "plant spears that reach for the sky." At the beginning of summer, the vine rises into vigorous foliage, like a canopy, hence the name Canoupe.
Vinification
Canoupe is not a white wine like the others. This single-plot cuvée was vinified with particular attention to the ripeness of the grapes, which is very advanced. Botrytis plays an important role, particularly in the color, which is sustained despite the direct pressing. A little controlled oxidation is also present.
Tasting
The style of Canoupe is intermediate, between freshness and maturity, with ripe aromas, candied citrus fruits, honeysuckle, spices: cardamom, cinnamon, Christmas spices. The color tends towards orange and the aromas are similar. Candied, jammy, with a touch of oxidation. A complex and powerful wine that is best reserved for the table and gastronomy rather than as an aperitif.
Learn more about Danis dans la vigne
Under the name Danis dans la vigne, Danis Bessières vinifies organic grapes from the family estate, the 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 cellar by his grandfather and then his father: making wines without additives, organic and natural, from the grape varieties of the terroir 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.
The White Widow White 2024,
Les Grandes Serres
Located between Vaison-la-Romaine and Séguret, the Grandes Serres vineyard, certified organic, promotes an innovative agroforestry approach, including the planting of pistachio trees along the edges of the plots. This cuvée, The White Widow 2024, made from a blend of Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Marsanne, elegantly expresses the richness of the Rhône's sandy soils.
A pure and delicious white
Harvested in the cool of the morning on a fruity day, the grapes are pressed directly, thus preserving their brightness and freshness. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, in a subtle balance between new Stockinger barrels (for Clairette and Marsanne, 50%) and stainless steel vats (for Grenache Blanc, 50%). Careful aging with light stirring gives the wine a full texture, without filtration, allowing natural sedimentation of the lees in the cold.
An expressive nose and a generous palate
From the moment you open it, The White Widow seduces with an intense bouquet of yellow fruits and jasmine. The palate is full-bodied and rich, supported by a beautiful mineral tension, which brings balance and length. A fresh finish, with slightly saline notes, prolongs the pleasure.
What to enjoy with this bottle?
This gastronomic white is ideally enjoyed at 10-12°C and pairs wonderfully with fish and white meats in sauce, spicy dishes and blue cheeses. With an aging potential of 5 years, it will gain in complexity over time.
Vin du conservatoire White 2024
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 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.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron skillfully embodies 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 the 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.
Westerberg Blanc 2023,
The subtle and mouth-watering expression of a unique terroir
The Westerberg 2023, produced by Domaine Einhart, is a highly expressive cuvée that combines Gewurztraminer and Riesling, two emblematic grape varieties of Alsace. Produced from vines planted on a terroir of limestone silt, this cuvée draws its unique character from a meticulous 11-month maturation in foudres, which amplifies its complexity while preserving its freshness.
An intense and elegant tasting
On the nose, the Westerberg 2023 reveals a striking aromatic richness: notes of candied apricot, juicy pear and jasmine blend harmoniously with touches of mango and citrus. On the palate, this wine displays a supple and velvety texture, balanced by a marked mineral freshness. The vibrant acidity brings a beautiful salivation, while the long and persistent finish highlights brioche and slightly buttery nuances. This contrast between breadth and liveliness makes this wine a true sensory journey.
Refined pairings for a varied gastronomy
The richness and finesse of the Westerberg 2023 make it a perfect ally for the table. It enhances grilled fish dishes, seafood, or even roast poultry. It also pairs well with Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, where its exotic aromas and ample structure will find a beautiful echo. Finally, it pairs elegantly with mature cheeses and fruit desserts, such as an apricot tart or a citrus mousse.
Serve between 6 and 8°C after decanting, this wine is ready to be enjoyed now, but will also evolve magnificently in the cellar for at least 5 years.
Charme Blanc 2023
Jean-Pierre Robinot
Maître du Chenin libre et vivant
Jean-Pierre Robinot poursuit sa quête du Chenin parfait, en laissant parler les terroirs et le raisin sans jamais les contraindre. Dans la pure tradition du vin naturel, il vinifie sans aucun intrant ni levure exogène, avec patience et écoute. Chaque cuvée est un reflet fidèle de son lieu, de son millésime… et de son humeur poétique.
Charme, entre craie, herbes et agrumes
Issue d’un terroir probablement crayeux (non précisé mais ressenti à la dégustation), cette cuvée de Chenin blanc dévoile un profil d’une grande fraîcheur, tendu par la minéralité et ponctué de notes végétales fines. Le pressurage direct permet de préserver l’intégrité du fruit, puis le vin est élevé pendant un an en barriques ayant contenu plusieurs vins, pour une oxygénation douce et sans apport boisé.
Un blanc sec et salin, au nez herbacé
Le nez est précis et expressif, entre agrumes mûrs, fleurs blanches et touches herbacées évoquant les feuilles froissées ou les tisanes sèches. En bouche, la trame est droite, vive, marquée par une minéralité crayeuse et une belle salinité. La pêche blanche s’y mêle en finesse. Un vin vibrant, long et sans concession.
Accords & service : vivacité en cuisine
Idéal sur une cuisine marine ou végétale : poissons grillés, ceviche, volaille au citron, risotto aux herbes. À servir frais, entre 10 et 12°C, sans carafage. Ce vin nature a l’énergie pour vieillir dix ans ou plus, gagnant en profondeur minérale sans perdre sa vivacité.
YARD Orange, Blanc 2022
Danis dans la vigne
Avec YARD Orange, Danis dans la vigne s’aventure du côté des blancs de macération, ces vins dits "oranges" qui bouleversent les repères. Cette cuvée nature 100 % Colombard, issue de raisins cultivés en agriculture biologique sur les sols argilo-calcaires du sud du Lot, incarne une vision libre et contemporaine d’un vin blanc, tout en couleur, en énergie et en sincérité.
Un vin orange artisanal et précis
La macération pelliculaire de quelques jours permet à ce Colombard de puiser dans ses peaux arômes, matière et une légère teinte dorée. Aucun intrant œnologique n’est utilisé : fermentation spontanée en levures indigènes, pas de collage ni de filtration, et un élevage en cuve inox de sept mois pour conserver le croquant du fruit. Le résultat est un vin nature pur, vibrant, sans compromis.
Une bouche éclatante et vivante
Le nez évoque l’abricot mûr, les zestes d’agrumes et une touche herbacée très rafraîchissante. En bouche, l’attaque est franche, tendue, avec une belle structure apportée par les tanins très fins issus de la macération. L’ensemble est vif, digeste et laisse une sensation tonique en finale.
Pour les curieux et les affranchis
YARD Orange se déguste entre 10 et 12 °C, sans carafage. Il trouvera naturellement sa place à l’apéritif, avec des plats végétariens, des viandes blanches ou une cuisine aux saveurs méditerranéennes. C’est un vin de soif éclairé, à boire jeune pour profiter de son expression fruitée et de sa fraîcheur.
La Grande Chaude, Blanc 2023
Philippe Chatillon
Avec La Grande Chaude 2023, Philippe Chatillon nous livre une cuvée d’auteur, où le Chardonnay, cépage noble du Jura, trouve une expression ciselée et profondément minérale. Cette cuvée certifiée en agriculture biologique, classée en AOC Côtes du Jura, est issue d’un terroir rare et complexe : des marnes rouges du Lias enrichies d’un banc de dolomie – une roche calcaire tendre – qui structure le sommet de la parcelle. Cette composition unique, située à Passenans, confère au vin une tension naturelle et une grande précision aromatique.
Les vignes de 60 ans livrent un fruit concentré, que Philippe Chatillon vinifie en pressurage direct, sans artifice, avant un élevage de deux ans en barriques anciennes, où le vin se construit lentement, à l’abri du bois neuf, dans une pure logique de respect du vivant.
Le nez s’ouvre avec élégance sur des agrumes zestés, des fleurs blanches, des notes briochées discrètes, le tout porté par une minéralité crayeuse bien présente. En bouche, la texture est droite, tendue, précise, presque saline, avec une longueur qui laisse une sensation de pureté saisissante. C’est un vin blanc gastronomique, intense mais jamais lourd, qui combine la fraîcheur du Jura avec la profondeur du grand Chardonnay.
À table, La Grande Chaude sublimera aussi bien un poisson grillé, une volaille crémée ou un risotto aux champignons. À carafer pour lui laisser le temps de respirer, il se servira entre 10 et 12°C et pourra évoluer sur 5 ans.
Un grand vin de terroir, sensible, vivant, qui révèle tout le talent de Philippe Chatillon dans l’interprétation fine et lumineuse de ses sols jurassiens.

On the palate, it is lively, light, and balanced, with suppleness. A very wide range of flavor pairings.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Magnum Munjebel VA 2013
Frank Cornelissen
This pure Nerello Mascalese, produced under the IGP Terre Siciliane, comes from the basalt soils of the Cornelissen estate's three highest plots (Vigne Alte), rich in biodiversity: Tartaraci (1,000 m above sea level), Monte Dolce (870 m), and Pettinociarelle (890 m). It perfectly expresses the excellence of the old, ungrafted Nerello Mascalese vines grown on the high terraces of Etna's northern valley. It is the estate's most Burgundian vintage, with the most pronounced acidity. A balanced, structured, gourmet, and easy-to-drink cuvée, it offers plenty of crisp fruit without ever being too easy. A certain bite and freshness typical of the estate. A perfect table red, it pairs well with roasted farm-raised chicken.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

This red wine is distinguished by its exceptional ampelographic diversity, bringing together a mosaic of grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, and Syrah, enriched with a touch of white grapes.

A bright and balanced cuvée, a tribute to Auxerrois and Pinot Noir
The Frohnberg 2023, by Domaine Einhart, is a captivating blend of Auxerrois and Pinot Noir.

The texture is fluid, taut and precise, with a marked salinity on the finish. A subtle minerality accompanies the long persistence, revealing all the richness of its terroir.
A wine for gastronomy and conviviality
The Frohnberg 2023 is a versatile wine, ideal to accompany fresh and delicate cuisine. It pairs wonderfully with seafood, grilled or raw fish such as sea bream carpaccio, but also with crisp vegetables and fresh cheeses.

Serve between 8 and 10°C after a light decanting, this wine can be enjoyed now or wait a few years to develop even more complexity.
La Grande Journée White 2022
La Grande Journée, by Jean-Yves Péron, is an organic, biodynamic, and natural maceration white wine made in Savoie. Classified as a Vin de France, it is made from 100% Altesse grapes. Unfiltered, unfined, and no sulfites added.
Vinification
The Altesse grapes, grown on mica schist terraces near Albertville, are harvested at the most ripeness possible. They then undergo two weeks of carbonic maceration and two months of punching down in vats. After devatting, the wine is aged for at least a year in 300-liter barrels.
Tasting
La Grande Journée is a magnificent polyphonic maceration white, a distinguished orange structured in layers. It evokes white fruits, flowers, with a spicy and mineral dimension. Beautiful controlled oxidation that will enhance Alpine cheeses, or white meats or roasted poultry, stuffed or not.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron talentedly embodies the organic, biodynamic and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and many 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.
Sylvaner Siggi White 2017,
Siggi (the s is pronounced z) is an organic, biodynamic, and natural Alsatian dry white wine (AB label) from Jean-Marc Dreyer, vinified from Sylvaner grapes without added sulfites. A beautiful aging process (seven years, the age of reason) allows Siggi to be appreciated at its peak.
Vinification
The Sylvaner grapes from Jean-Marc Dreyer's estate, grown organically, are hand-harvested and directly pressed. The wine undergoes two years of maturation in foudres and finishes this maturation in bottles. No topping up, no addition of sulfites or other additives, no filtration.
Tasting
Clean orange color, nose of citrus and dried fruits and a little sparkle at the opening. Woody palate, controlled oxidation, walnuts, hazelnut, acidity comes next with notes of peach and nectarine associated with leather and yeasty touches, not to mention saline and iodized notes. The finish returns to hazelnut. This incredible complexity gives Siggi a key to all pairings. It will be paired with cheeses, spicy cuisine, Indian curries and Réunion curries. It is also a good partner for well-roasted poultry and pata negra ham. We recommend a good decanting.
Learn more about Jean-Marc Dreyer
Jean-Marc Dreyer, a biodynamic and natural Alsace winemaker (AB organic certification label), succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, created in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics. In 2009, upon returning from a pilgrimage to Compostela, he decided to never again add sulfur to any wine. Having made this decision, he asserted his style around skin maceration, accentuated and chiseled, bringing out the soul of Alsatian grape varieties. Jean-Marc also works in direct pressing and often with single varietals. He also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.
Maceration and direct press
Jean-Marc Dreyer's wines are characterized by whole-bunch maceration (but you should also try his direct-press whites). "Maceration in Alsace," he says, "is an ancestral tradition! In the past, we worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the pomace to the press." Gentle oxidation is also a particular feature of his wines, generally vinified without topping up. Jean-Marc is best known for his "Origin" series, a finely macerated expression of Alsace grape varieties, but we invite you to discover his other wines.
i Vicini Moscato White 2021
I Vicini Moscato is an organic, biodynamic, and natural macerated (orange) dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron. Vinified in Savoie from Muscat d'Asti. It is part of the I Vicini series of cuvées, vinified in Savoie from organic grapes from Northern Italy. The muscats grow on very fine limestone soils, calcareous-magnesian, on a particularly cool site.
Vinification
The Muscat d'Asti grapes, harvested manually at good phenolic maturity, macerate for three months in vats on the skins, with punching down. Racking off in January, aging for one year in 300 l barrels. No filtration, fining or addition of sulfites.
Tasting
Straightness, tension and freshness: this very fine mountain Muscat offers the aromatic and musky nose specific to the grape variety, without any syrupy notes. A very present tannic structure balances the whole. On the palate, it is rich and powerful; we find the charming scent of Muscat in the retro-olfaction, but with the tension and freshness that Jean-Yves Péron favors for his dry whites. It’s a great table wine, not really for an aperitif, but for gastronomy, no limits.

Learn more about Clos Lentiscus
In Sitges, Catalonia, in the Penedès appellation, Clos Lentiscus is an organic and natural wine estate located in the heart of the Garraf Natural Park. In a superb landscape of Mediterranean greenery, Manel Avinyo, nicknamed "the Bubbleman", his brother Joan and his daughter Núria specialize in cavas, sparkling wines made using the traditional method, and also make some still wines, all biodynamically, without added additives or sulfites.
History of Clos Lentiscus
The family has been established here since at least the 14th century. When the two brothers took over the estate, organic, biodynamic and additive-free winemaking replaced conventional practices, allowing this beautiful property to regain its former prestige: in the 19th century, its wines were sold in France and as far away as the Americas.
The Clos Lentiscus style
Purity, elegance and a crisp minerality characterize the organic and natural wines of Clos Lentiscus. This Catalan estate also produces still wines. The grape varieties are traditionally Catalan: Sumoll, Ull de Llebre, Xarel-lo, Cartoixà Vermell, Cariñena, and especially Malvasia from Sitges, accompanied by Tempranillo and Muscat from Alexandria. The vines are old, sometimes centuries old. No synthetic additives are used in the vineyard, where operations are dictated by the lunar phases. Pollination is facilitated by the presence of beehives, whose honey sometimes supports the secondary fermentation of the grapes.
