White Meat

Puligny Montrachet White 2022

Fréderic Cossard

This Puligny-Montrachet AOP is a dry, organic, natural white Burgundy wine vinified by Frédéric Cossard. Frédéric produces several Puligny-Montrachet vintages, including this one with no climate indication, but endowed with all the graces of this great white wine appellation from the Côte de Beaune, one of the most prestigious in Burgundy.

Vinification

Puligny-Montrachet is made from Chardonnay grown on clay-limestone soil. This is a direct-press wine, aged for at least one year.

Tasting

A marvelous fusion of richness and dryness, Frédéric Cossard's Puligny-Montrachet has great aging potential. With age, its aromas lean more and more towards earthy, mineral notes, with smoky accents and a magnificent affinity with truffle. In the meantime, it is difficult to list its pairings, as this unique wine has the gift of harmonizing with everything that is good. Still young, reserve it for fine poultry and white meats.

Frédéric Cossard gives the floor in organic and natural mode to Burgundy wines (and elsewhere), undistorted by agricultural chemicals, according to the style and convictions of this winemaker 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 Domaine de Chassorney 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.

Gewurztraminer Origin White 2022,

Jean-Marc Dreyer

Jean-Marc Dreyer's Gewurztraminer Origin is an organic (AB label), biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Alsace, made with maceration (orange wine), with no added sulfites. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range consists of single-varietal cuvées based on six Alsatian grape varieties (Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling and Muscat), macerated on the skins with a touch of controlled oxidation, which gives a multidimensional nature to the Gewurztraminer grape variety, thus proving that it has never had its last word.

Vinification

The organically and biodynamically grown Gewurztraminer is harvested by hand and macerated for seven days in whole bunches. After pressing and fermentation, the wine is aged for ten to eleven months in the Alsatian style, in foudres and demi-muids, without topping up. Biodynamic method, fermentation by indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or in the cellar.

Tasting

Fragrant, powerful, sumptuous, disconcerting, addictive, structured in layers and of a surprising complexity, Gewurztraminer Origin is the gewurztraminer that you no longer expected, with an overpowering aromatic, without the sugar commonly associated with this grape variety. All the sugars have been eaten, what remains is an extraordinary richness of aromas, naked and unvarnished. Notes of mango, lychee, ylang-ylang, the bouquet of flowers and exotic fruits is there, sublimated by a dry and straight frame. This wine screams for foie gras, with or without truffle, but it can be drunk with everything from seafood to land.

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, established 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 affirmed his style around skin maceration, accentuated and chiseled, bringing out the soul of the Alsatian grape varieties. Jean-Marc also works with 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 taste 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 marc to the press." Gentle oxidation is also a particular characteristic 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.

Sylvaner Siggi White 2017,

Jean-Marc Dreyer

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.

Burgundy white Bigotes White 2021

Frédéric Cossard

Bigotes is a dry, organic, and natural white wine made by Frédéric Cossard from Chardonnay. Although it is a "generic" white Burgundy, it clearly bears the mark of its terroir and the winemaker. Bigotes is, in a way, the white counterpart of the Bedeau red cuvée.

Vinification

Bigotes is produced by Frédéric Cossard on a small plot of Chardonnay in the Burgundy regional appellation, on clay-limestone soils. This is a direct-press, organic wine, with no added sulfites.

Tasting

Bigotes is characterized by tension and indulgence. On the nose, the aromatic attack is lemony, lingering with yellow fruits. On the palate, tension, fullness, indulgence, a little fat, and plenty of aromatic persistence. He is not demanding in terms of pairings: he goes with white meats, smoked fish, oysters and shellfish, seafood, mature cheeses, beautiful roasted poultry, salmon pastries and href="https://culinaries.fr/producteurs/ferme-du-bois-de-boulle/">rabbit sautéed with lemon.

i Vicini Moscato White 2021

Jean Yves Peron

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 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. The grapes are vatted in whole bunches and undergo semicarbonic maceration. Shortly before pressing, they are foot-trodden in the vat, then sent 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.

Night Potion Skin Contact White 2021,

Clos Lentiscus

Night Potion Skin Contact is an organic and natural dry white wine certified CCPAE (Catalan Council for Organic Agriculture) and biodynamic, produced by Clos Lentiscus in the Baix-Penedés region (Catalonia).

Vinification

Produced on the limestone soils of the Garraf Natural Park, Night Potion Skin Contact is made using skin maceration, hence its name and its solid, structured yet velvety character. It is made from 100% native Catalan grapes, xarel lo, and is vinified in terracotta containers.

Tasting

Pleasant, pleasant, and adaptable to all occasions, Night Potion Skin Contact is a wine that goes with everything. Its minerality is matched only by its freshness, so there's no need to think about it any longer: let's quickly open this bottle to appreciate its all-terrain qualities, its controlled acidity, and its aromatic charm. It will pair well with tapas, raw, cooked, or smoked fish and seafood. If you want to know more about the delicious still or sparkling wines of this Catalan region, you can also visit the neighbors, at Partida Creus.

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.

VY Vinyater White 2020

Partida Creus

Rounded, buttery, expressive, and mineral, VY Vinyater first reveals a nose of white fruits and white flowers. Lemon zest and a hint of beeswax. On the palate, it offers volume and body, with a very long finish. Made from old vines (sixty years old) of the Catalan Vinyater grape variety growing on clay-limestone soil, aged in fifty-liter demijohns and classified as Vino de Mesa (table wine), VY Vinyater is a fresh and seductive white that excels with seafood, grilled white meats and sweetbreads, but it can also seduce without any accompaniment or pretext.

To find out more

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 wines – first pursued a career as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug tickles them, and soon they abandon 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, which they passionately revive 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 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 viticulture, entirely manual and natural 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 but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.

Magnum Saint Romain sous le Chateau Clos du Cerisier White 2020,

Domaine de Chassorney

Full of fresh fruit and fragrant white flowers (gardenia, jasmine, etc.), elegant and dense… Mineral, fresh, powerful, and long-aging, this wine has it all. This pure Chardonnay comes from a steep plot located between 280 and 400 meters above sea level. The soils are mainly marl, limestone, and clay. After direct pressing, it is aged for about a year in barrels. The magnum format allows the wine to jostle and mature beautifully.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undeformed by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful wine-growing practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice that are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked as a wine broker for some time before creating the Domaine de Chassorney with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine trading house and buys organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais crus. The practice is not limited to Burgundy since vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura or Languedoc. At his home, the soil and vines are worked as naturally as possible: regular horse-drawn ploughing, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to biodynamic principles: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. Reds or whites, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less "regional" bottles, Frédéric's vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.

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.

Saint-Romain Sous Roche Qvevris Red 2018

Frederic Cossard

This Pinot Noir from the Qvevris series (aged in Georgian-style terracotta jars) comes from a plot whose sloping terroir, facing south-southeast, is located between 280 and 400 meters above sea level in the Saint-Romain appellation. The soils are mainly marl, limestone and clay. The grapes macerate in whole bunches. Plenty of fruit and roundness supported by a sumptuous minerality. The Pinot Noir benefits greatly from the velvety texture brought by aging in qvevri.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Le Coste White 2010

Le Coste

A blend of Malvasia and Moscato from the Le Coste estate, a volcanic Eden of natural wines located on the borders of Tuscany and Umbria. An orange color, an aromatic nose that unites herbaceous notes and candied fruit. The same battle is evident on the palate, with added hints of compote.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Coteau Libre White 2015

Domaine Le temps retrouvé

Two Grenaches for the pleasure of one, and not just any: Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris from vines planted on terraces on clay-siliceous soils. Aged for four years in barrels, Coteau Libre is one of those wines whose texture is evident on the nose. On the palate, it has a beautiful density and a very respectable length.

A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Mercurey Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris Rouge 2023

Frédéric Cossard

Avec Les Vignes Blanches Qvevris 2023, Frédéric Cossard continue de repousser les frontières de la Bourgogne classique, en proposant un Mercurey rouge vinifié avec audace et précision. Cette cuvée issue de Pinot Noir planté sur sols argilo-calcaires s’inscrit dans une démarche profondément naturelle, fidèle à la philosophie sans compromis de ce vigneron pionnier : aucun intrant de synthèse à la vigne, vinification sans intrants œnologiques, et fermentation exclusivement avec levures indigènes.

La macération en grappes entières durant trois semaines permet une extraction douce et subtile. Mais c’est l’élevage d’un an en amphores géorgiennes (qvevris) qui confère à cette cuvée sa signature si particulière. Loin des boisés classiques de Bourgogne, l’amphore respecte la matière et amplifie la pureté du fruit, tout en apportant une belle sphéricité en bouche.

Au nez, le vin s’ouvre sur des notes franches de griottes, de fruits rouges croquants et d’infimes touches florales. En bouche, l’équilibre est remarquable : les tanins sont souples, la trame est fraîche, et l’ensemble glisse avec élégance, sans renier la profondeur minérale du terroir de Mercurey. Le profil reste fin, vibrant et d’une buvabilité étonnante, parfait pour ceux qui recherchent une interprétation moderne, vivante et épurée de la Bourgogne.

Idéal à table, il accompagnera aussi bien des poissons grillés que des viandes blanches rôties. Sa finesse lui permet également d’épouser des plats végétariens délicats. À servir autour de 15 °C, sans besoin de carafage, et à déguster dès maintenant ou dans les 5 à 10 prochaines années pour profiter pleinement de son évolution.

Pinot Noir Rouge 2023

Fidèle à sa philosophie, cette cuvée est issue d’une vinification sans intrants, sans levures ajoutées, et sans sulfites. Le résultat : un vin vivant, pur, et intensément gourmand.

Pinot Noir jurassien, vinifié en Bourgogne

Cette cuvée 100 % Pinot Noir provient de raisins cultivés dans le Jura, sur des sols argilo-calcaires, puis vinifiés dans le chai de Frédéric en Bourgogne. Une macération en grappes entières de deux semaines permet une extraction en douceur, avant un élevage de 8 mois en cuve inox, pour préserver l’éclat du fruit et la tension naturelle.

Un rouge frais et fruité, facile mais pas simple

Au nez, on retrouve des arômes nets de petits fruits rouges, de griotte et une touche florale légère. La bouche est souple, digeste, avec une trame minérale et des tanins fins qui structurent sans dominer. L’ensemble est juteux, désaltérant, et d’une belle pureté. À 11 %, ce vin allie légèreté et caractère.

Accords & service : plaisir immédiat

Idéal à l’apéritif ou avec des viandes blanches, ce Pinot Noir nature peut aussi accompagner une cuisine végétale ou des charcuteries fines. À servir entre 14 et 16°C, sans carafage. À boire jeune pour son éclat, ou dans les 5 prochaines années pour profiter de son évolution subtile.

Iris Blanc 2022

Jean-Pierre Robinot

L’évidence du temps et du vivant

Vigneron à part, Jean-Pierre Robinot compose ses vins comme on écrit un poème : avec attention, patience et intuition. Il élabore des Chenins profonds, vibrants, toujours sans intrants ni soufre ajouté. Son approche lente de la vinification, associée à une écoute du rythme naturel du vin, donne naissance à des cuvées puissantes et pleines de relief.

Iris, entre densité et éclat

Cette cuvée 2022 est issue de vignes cultivées sur sols argilo-calcaires, dans un climat propice à la maturité. Le raisin, pressé directement, est ensuite élevé pendant un an en barriques de plusieurs vins, permettant une oxygénation lente et subtile, sans apport boisé marqué. Le résultat est un vin d’équilibre, concentré mais précis.

Un Chenin complexe et lumineux

Au nez, on est saisi par l’intensité : fleurs blanches, miel sec, fruits exotiques comme l’ananas ou la mangue, le tout soutenu par une touche minérale. En bouche, le vin impressionne par sa richesse, sa texture ample, presque veloutée, et sa finale salivante aux notes de pierre chaude. Iris combine maturité, énergie et élégance.

Accords & service : noblesse gastronomique

Parfait avec des poissons rôtis, des fromages à pâte molle affinés, ou des viandes blanches en sauce. Servir entre 10 et 12°C, sans carafage. Ce grand vin nature peut être bu maintenant ou patienté plus de 10 ans, pour évoluer vers une complexité plus tertiaire et saline.

Bistrologie Blanc 2023

Jean-Pierre Robinot

Poète du Chenin libre

Jean-Pierre Robinot incarne une vision singulière du vin naturel : celle d’un artisan engagé, à l’écoute de ses terroirs, du temps et du vivant. Dans sa cave ligérienne, il vinifie sans intrants ni levures commerciales, privilégiant l’élevage long en barrique pour laisser les jus s’exprimer avec justesse. Ses vins sont à la fois sincères, vibrants et émouvants.

Bistrologie, l’énergie du fruit dans le calcaire

Issue de vignes cultivées sur sols argilo-calcaires, cette cuvée 100 % Chenin blanc offre une expression franche et gourmande du cépage. Après un pressurage direct, le vin est élevé pendant un an en barriques ayant déjà contenu plusieurs vins. Ce contenant neutre permet une oxygénation lente sans influence boisée, pour un résultat pur et cristallin.

Fruits confits, minéralité et tension

Le nez évoque l’abricot mûr, le coing, les fleurs blanches et une touche de miel sec. En bouche, l’attaque est fraîche et tendue, puis le vin s’arrondit avec un joli volume porté par les fruits blancs confits. L’équilibre entre la vivacité et la richesse naturelle du Chenin est maîtrisé. La finale minérale, légèrement saline, prolonge le plaisir avec élégance.

Accords & service : à la fois festif et gastronomique

Bistrologie s’apprécie aussi bien à l’apéritif qu’à table, sur des poissons fins, des viandes blanches, ou même des plats végétaux aux notes sucrées-salées. Servir entre 10 et 12°C, sans carafage. Cette cuvée nature peut être bue dès aujourd’hui, mais saura aussi vieillir plus de 10 ans avec grâce.

Lumière de silex Blanc 2023

Jean-Pierre Robinot

Figure libre de la Loire

Installé dans le Loir-et-Cher, Jean-Pierre Robinot est une légende vivante du vin naturel. Poète, vigneron et passionné du vivant, il élabore depuis deux décennies des vins vibrants et purs, sans intrants, sans levures ajoutées, et souvent sans soufre. Son approche artisanale et sensible du Chenin en fait l’un des producteurs les plus respectés de la région.

Lumière de Silex, un Chenin sur schistes

Cette cuvée est issue de parcelles plantées sur des sols de schistes dans l’appellation Anjou, terroir idéal pour le Chenin blanc. Le pressurage direct permet une expression nette du fruit, sans extractions ni maquillage. Le vin est ensuite élevé un an en barriques ayant déjà contenu plusieurs vins, pour oxygéner sans marquer.

Ampleur, tension, longueur iodée

Lumière de Silex se déploie avec grâce : le nez s’ouvre sur des fleurs blanches, la pêche, une touche de fruit exotique. En bouche, l’attaque est ample, ronde, avec une texture généreuse, équilibrée par une tension minérale qui étire la finale. Cette finale justement, iodée et persistante, évoque la roche et le sel, et appelle un deuxième verre.

À table : finesse et profondeur

Parfait avec des fromages à pâte molle, des poissons grillés ou en sauce, ou encore des viandes blanches. Servir frais, entre 10 et 12°C. Ce vin nature peut se déguster jeune, pour sa fraîcheur et son fruit, ou se garder plus de dix ans pour révéler sa complexité tertiaire et sa verticalité.

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.
