An outstanding natural wine made from 100% Malbec, with 15-year-old vines and minimal sulfur additions (below 30 mg/l total), intended for immediate consumption. In a broader perspective—and considering the whole-bunch vinification—it could be compared to a Beaujolais, even to the finest cru Beaujolais of the region. Fresh and approachable, with excellent...
For those with more than a passing interest in the Bordeaux region, Château Falfas is not just located on a beautiful terroir, just 1 km from the Gironde estuary. Since 1988, Véronique Cochran has been biodynamically cultivating the estate’s 20 hectares of vineyards, following in the footsteps of her father, François Bouchet, who served as a biodynamic...
There are two main factors that differentiate “Le Chevalier” from the estate’s classic cuvée. First is the age of the vines, which exceed 75 years, producing exceptionally high-quality, low-yield fruit under biodynamic cultivation. The second is that the blend is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up 65% of the wine, accompanied by 30% Merlot...
Thierry Valette acquired the historic Clos Puy Arnaud in 2000 and dedicated himself to producing outstanding wines based on biodynamic principles, moving toward what are often described as “natural wines,” with minimal intervention in the winery. The 2016 Grand Vin shows crisp, vibrant fruit with freshness and acidity that may be more reminiscent of the...

Another label whose name is inspired by Damien and Coralie Delecheneau's love of music. The grapes from this particular part of the vineyard have great potential and energy based on Coralie, as this is the last part of the vineyards they harvest each year and give it all their positive energy. After the grapes are destemmed, they are sorted oak by oak and...
Its name in French comes from the small chapel located at the foot of the estate’s slopes. Despite its distinctive color, the wine was directly pressed in a vertical press from grapes of ancient vineyards, consisting of Aspro Potamisi (80%) and Rozaki (20%), which were foot-trodden. The two varieties were fermented separately with native yeasts, and...
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, with spontaneous fermentation and the wine remaining on the lees for approximately 10 months, imparting depth, complexity, and a characteristic silky texture. The discreet, “invisible” intervention of Jerome and Gabriel allows the terroir to express itself with clarity. The granitic and sandy soils of...
One of those wines that exerts a “spiritual charm” over you. Its beauty lies in its unconventional character. Nothing you’d expect from a Mediterranean red wine, but rather a perfect embodiment of the potential of the Tainian terroir in terms of freshness and elegance. A natural wine with no sulfur at all, which directly highlights the fruit and floral...
Elegance, finesse, and outstanding drinkability define a wine that is allowed to express itself without intervention. Natural winemaking with spontaneous fermentations, without the addition of sulphites at any stage of the process, from grapes grown on a unique granitic terroir. Its color recalls the light reds of the past, while the palate is remarkably...
Santorini’s viticultural richness, as described at the beginning of the 20th century, was remarkably vast, even though Assyrtiko has always been the dominant variety of the island. Aidani is one of those varieties that adds an extra dimension to the wines of this volcanic terroir. It is characterized by a medium golden color, citrus and mango notes, fresh...
