In Andlau, in the foothills of the Vosges mountains, the Marc Kreydenweiss wine estate embodies a family winegrowing history deeply rooted in Alsace soil. Heir to a family history that began as early as the XVIIIᵉ century, it was taken over in 1971 by Marc Kreydenweiss, grandson of Fernand Gresser, a leading figure in Alsace winegrowing. A visionary winegrower, Marc began in the 1980s to think deeply about the expression of terroirs, and turned resolutely towards biodynamic viticulture, for which he founded the Biodyvin union. His passion for geology and his relentless efforts to bring out the best in his vines and improve the quality of the grapes enabled him to achieve greater precision in his work in the cellar, and revolutionize the entire wine estate in the process.

At his side for many years, his son Antoine Kreydenweiss immersed himself in these demands and took over the management of the wine estate in 2008, after the tragic death of his elder brother and Marc's departure for the Languedoc. Committed to the foundations laid by his predecessors, Antoine continues to work with uncompromising rigor, respecting the identity of soils, plants and time. Faithful to family values, he brings his own rigorous vision to every stage of the work, from the vine to the cellar, to reveal the full diversity of Alsace's soils.

The Kreydenweiss wine estate's vineyards are planted on a mosaic of complex terroirs, just like the Andlau valley, where blue schist, pink sandstone and limestone marl meet. Three Grand Cru terroirs stand out: Grand Cru Kastelberg, unique in Alsace for its schist bedrock, where Riesling captures the straight, salivating energy; Grand Cru Wiebelsberg, with its Vosges sandstone soils, producing fleshier wines; and Grand Cru Moenchberg, which combines power and depth. Around these emblematic crus gravitate a number of characterful lieux-dits such as Clos du Val d'Éléon, Lerchenberg and Kritt, all cultivated with the same exacting standards. The diversity of exposures and altitudes enables each grape variety to express the uniqueness of its terroir, in a faithful interpretation of the Alsatian landscape.

The Kreydenweiss wine estate cultivates mainly the emblematic grape varieties of Alsace, with a clear predominance of Riesling, planted on the Grands Crus and the most expressive slopes. Alongside the king of grape varieties, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir complete the planting, each finding its place according to the nature of the terroir. This fine-tuning of grape varieties to the soil is part of a precision approach that has gone hand in hand with biodynamic viticulture for over forty years. Antoine Kreydenweiss pursues this approach with the utmost rigor, managing his vineyards without the use of synthetic inputs, giving preference to natural preparations and compost to encourage the deep life of the soil. Animal traction, integrated in 2008, is part of this deep commitment: it limits soil compaction, reinforces observation, and reflects a genuine respect for living things. Both in the vineyard and in the cellar, the wine estate refuses any systematic intervention, seeking to reveal in each wine the balance specific to each vintage and each place.

Great terroir wines are the beating heart of the Marc Kreydenweiss wine estate. The Riesling Grand Cru Wiebelsberg is a full-bodied, straightforward wine with superb, deep salinity. The Riesling Grand Cru Kastelberg reveals a vertical expression of striking mineral purity, ideal for ageing.

The wine estate also offers a range of wines that finely reflect the diversity of plots and soils in the Andlau Valley. The Kritt Gewurztraminer, planted on clay-limestone soil, combines richness and tension in a perfectly balanced, spicy expression. The Kritt Pinot Blanc, from the same vineyard, reveals subtle fruitiness, supported by a straightforward structure. The Riesling Au Dessus de la Loi, named after a stream that runs through the valley, is an exclusive cuvée from a micro-parcel suspended above Andlau, which finely expresses the tension of the sandstone. On the Lerchenberg, Pinot Gris is pure and racy, far from the opulent standards. La Fontaine aux Enfants, a pure Pinot Blanc, seduces with its floral density and natural radiance, while Clos du Val d'Éléon, a blend of Riesling and Pinot Gris, brings these two grape varieties together on the same soil for a wine of profound character.

The Marc Kreydenweiss wine estate embodies a true quest for authenticity and precision, where each wine is the faithful expression of a carefully respected terroir. Under Antoine, the biodynamic philosophy continues to guide the wine estate, affirming a profound link between the vine and its environment. The estate's wines reflect the richness and diversity of Alsace's terroir, combining rigor and elegance in every bottle. This harmony between family tradition and sustainable innovation imbues their wines with emotion and precision, and has earned the Kreydenweiss domaine its reputation as a key figure in the Alsace wine world.

Domaine Robert Denogent is a Burgundy wine estate located in the commune of Fuissé in southern Burgundy.The Denogent family began winemakingat the beginning of the 20th centurywith just 5 hectares of vines. In 2006, Jean Jacques Robert Denogent's two sons took over, continuing the family tradition. It's in a very generous and accessible spirit that the two brothers wish to perpetuate the wine estate. However, they also put their own stamp on the wines, influenced by emblematic winemakers from the Jura, Savoie and, of course, Burgundy regions.

The wines are always sincere, gourmet and totally artisanal, with no compromise on quality. Antoine and Nicolas Denogent know how to adapt to the particularities of each vintage, with the sole aim of producing wines without artifice, make-up or inputs whenever possible.

For several years now, the wineestate has been cultivating 13 hectares of vines entirely according to biodynamic principles. They own around 30 parcels spread over more than 30 km from north to south between the Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions. This great diversity of terroirs brings real complexity to the wines. Energy also lends a unique typicity to Robert Denogent wine estates. Soils of schist, limestone, clay, silt and sandstone are enhanced by the work of the two brothers to produce the quintessence of each terroir.

For the Robert Denogentwine estate , biodiversity has always been a major asset, keeping soils rich and alive and limiting the need for intervention. According to the Denogent family, the key to success is to support the plant by giving it every opportunity to develop using its own resources. Today, these methods are followed by many of the great Burgundy, French and international wine estates.

The cuvées we're lucky enough to be able to offer you are each more beautiful than the last, starting with the Mâcon Village Les Sardinescuvée , a taut, fresh and pure white wine that's one of my current favorites. Pouilly Fuissé La Croix is a magnificent, generous wine that's easy to enjoy when young. And then there's Saint Véran Les Pommards, a bombshell of minerality, crystal-clear as a bell. Nor can we forget Pouilly Fuissé 1er cru Vers Cras, a wine of mad complexity whose vines are almost a century old. We finish with the short-lived cuvée Pouilly Fuissé Climat , a blend of the wine estate's most prestigious plots, notably Clos Reyssié , which was not able to be made on a plot-by-plot basis for lack of yield, but will soon be again.

For over twenty years, Maison Valette, located in Chaintré between the Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, has been cultivating its 8.5 hectares of vines using organic methods. Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this family-run wine estate began with Philippe's grandfather, a tenant farmer from Bresse, who passed on his know-how to his son, and then to Philippe Valette.

Philippe now runs Domaine Valette with a deep respect for the soil and microbial life. Since 1992, the wine estate has followed biodynamic principles, promoting a natural balance between the vine and its ecosystem. Practices such as regular scratching of the soil and grassing allow deep root development, essential for wine quality.

Rejecting organic and biodynamic certification on principle, Philippe Valette believes that it is up to conventional winegrowers to prove the transparency of their practices. His philosophy is based on passion and patience, with minimalist winemaking using indigenous yeasts and no added sulfur. The domaine's wines benefit from long ageing on lees, sometimes up to 72 months, in barrels without racking, revealing the full richness of the terroirs of Mâcon-Chaintré, Viré-Clessé and Pouilly-Fuissé.

Philippe and Cécile Valette only release their wines when they feel they are ready, ensuring cuvées of great precision and perfect balance. Each vintage tells a unique story, often forged by difficult conditions, proving that challenges can lead to extraordinary results after several years of maturation.

Domaine Philippe Valette wines are invitations to discover the deep, rare flavors of the Mâconnais. Explore these magnificent cuvées and let yourself be seduced by the authenticity and passion that drive this exceptional wine estate. Discover natural wines that shine with their distinctive character, the fruit of painstaking work handed down from generation to generation.

Immerse yourself in the world of Domaine Philippe Valette wines and savor the excellence of these emblematic terroirs.

Domaine de la Sarazinière is a family-run wine estate founded in 1920 and located in the Mâconnais region, more specifically in Bussières. The 10-hectare estate was taken over by Philippe Trebignaud in 1990 , and his son Guillaume Trebignaud joined him in 2017.

Sarazinière is the name of a small river and the surrounding lieux-dits where the wine estate was created in the early 20th century.

The first vines were planted in 1926 by Philippe's uncle, Claude Seigneuret. The wine estate producesred and whitewines in the Mâcon appellation , as well as Bourgogne aligoté. In the vineyards, work is meticulous and rigorous, respecting the terroirs.

Bussières' Chardonnay and Gamay grapes benefit from a deep clay-limestone terroir, which gives the wines a rich, full-bodied texture. The Gamays develop a very Burgundian character.

Domaine de la Sarazinière is in the process of converting to organic farming , and the soil is worked to preserve the natural fermentation potential inherent in the terroir. The working principle is not to influence the winemaking process by adding any artificial additives, while respecting the terroir: no yeast, enzymes or other additives that could alter the natural fermentation process.

Winemaking is carried out in stainless steel vats or oak barrels. Ageing is determined by the vintage, and can last from 10 to 12 months, with bottling without fining or filtration.

Favorite cuvées include Mâcon Bussières Claude Seigneuret, Pouilly Fuissé 1er cru Les Cras and Pouilly Fuissé VII. A small, little-known Mâconnais wine estate producing soulful wines at affordable prices.

The origins of Clos Venturi: the heritage of Domaine Vico

In the mountainous heart of Corsica, on the granite heights of Ponte Leccia, an extraordinary vineyard tells a story of transmission, altitude and rebirth. Today, the name Clos Venturi resonates with connoisseurs of exceptional island wines. But its origins go back to another adventure, that of Domaine Vico, founded in 1901 by the visionary Jean Vico, who planted vines where no one else would: at the foot of the mountains, over 400 metres above sea level. In 2005, the Acquaviva-Venturi family at the head of the wine estate embarked on a unique parcel-based project: Clos Venturi. A selection of Domaine Vico's finest plots, worked biodynamically by hand and with the help of horses, became the beating heart of this new Corsican signature, where native grape varieties are reborn with panache.

The revival of traditional Corsican grape varieties

Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu, Vermentinu, Biancu Gentile, Carcaghjolu Neru... Sometimes forgotten, often unrecognized, the ancestral Corsican grape varieties are the raw material of this committed and sincere project. Each hand-picked bunch is the fruit of patient, chemical-free work, respecting the rhythms of the moon. At Clos Venturi, biodynamic viticulture is not a marketing buzzword: here, nature dictates, and the winemakers listen. On soils of granite, schist and sandstone, in a climate where cool nights balance the heat of the day, indigenous grape varieties find their full voice.

In the cellars, winemaking is carried out without artifice, and indigenous yeasts work freely. Ageing is carried out in tuns, barrels or amphorae, respecting the natural balance of the juices. Far from rigid standards, Clos Venturi wines express their vintage with uprightness, precision and energy. They tell the story of their soil, their climate, their mountain.

Cuvées that tell the story of the island's terroir

The wine estate offers red, white and rosé cuvées. Some, like the Brama cuvées, reveal the singularity of a single grape variety in a pure, racy profile. Others, like Le Clos or Altare, embody the complexity of carefully considered blends, where each component plays its part without false note. Chemin de Croix recounts the courage of vines perched on steep hillsides where only manual labor is possible, delivering reds of rare intensity. Chiesa Nera, born of indigenous red and white grape varieties, explores the aromatic heights of a mineral and solar Corsica. And in 1769, named in reference to the battle of Ponte-Novu where the Corsican Republic lost to French annexation, Clos Venturi delivers a more accessible and immediate approach, without denying Domaine Vico's signature: sincerity, precision, and roots in a unique terroir.

More than a vineyard, Clos Venturi has become the emblem of a wine-producing Corsica that looks to the future without denying its roots. A place where indigenous grape varieties are not a relic of the past, but the promise of tomorrow's great wines.

Comte Abbatucci, a historic Corsican wine estate

The Comte Abbatucci estate is part of Corsican vineyard history. In the 1970s, Antoine Abbatucci decided to create a conservatory of Corsican grape varieties. Unfortunately, most of them had already disappeared from the Corsican winegrowing landscape by that time, but he succeeded in safeguarding 18 endemic grape varieties that constitute a treasure trove for the winegrowing heritage of the Isle of Beauty.

It was Jean-Charles Abbatucci, Antoine's son, who succeeded in exploiting this veritable goldmine to the full, producing several cuvées, all equally singular and delicious. Taking advantage of the quality of the granitic arena terroir and the predominantly northerly exposure of his vineyards, which prevents the grapes from over-ripening, Jean-Charles has gradually established his whites and reds at the very top of the hierarchy of Corsican wines, and more generally of southern wines.

Rare endemic grape varieties preserved

Blended from such rare grape varieties as Barbarossa, Brustiano, Carcajolo Bianco and Pagga Debiti, this biodynamic winemaker literally bewitches us with his deep, lively wines of extraordinary aromatic intensity, sometimes evoking crisp, juicy fruit, sometimes a procession of spices or the aromas of the maquis.

Here, even more than elsewhere, nature reigns supreme: ploughing by horse, weed control by sheep, homeopathic application of plant preparations and herbal teas with curative or simply energizing virtues.

The winemaking process is just as respectful. Fermentations are carried out using indigenous yeasts, and ageing is carried out on fine lees without stirring, adapting each bottle size for each cuvée to ensure that the fruit is as pure as possible. The result is quite simply magnificent mastery, and it's not for nothing that it has been awarded the highest rank in the RVF, namely 3 stars.

The Abbatucci family have given very specific cuvée names to their wines. Cuvées Faustine, Diplomate, Général and Ministre are all part of their collection.

The reputation of Abbatucci family wines has long since spread beyond the island's shores, delighting lovers of fine gourmet wines on every continent. As summer draws to a close, immerse yourself in the best that Corsican culture has to offer.

Unmissable Rully wines

For 3 generations, the Jacqueson family has contributed to the renown of the Rully appellation. Marie and Pierre Jacqueson arrived at the estate in 2015 under the watchful eye of their father Paul Jacqueson, who ran the 15-hectare wine estate all his life. From the outset, he focused on quality, investing in several parcels of Rully and Rully^1er cru. For him, the Côte Chalonnaise abounds in great terroirs that are little exploited. He also replanted Chardonnay, which had been virtually absent from the appellation in his day, and now accounts for 50% of the Jacqueson's wine production. Over the years, the Jacqueson wine estate has built up a superb winegrowing heritage in the finest climats such as Grésigny, La Pucelle and Margotés. Today, the family has joined forces with Domaine De Villaine to purchase two hectares of Premier Cru pinot noir, a cuvée that is still exclusive.

What makes the wines from Domaine Jacqueson in Rully stand out is their purity. Quality of fruit, freshness and balance are extremely important. The right interpretation of each terroir makes this one of the highest-quality wine estates in the Côte Chalonnaise, and certainly the best value for money in Rully.

The Antoine Lienhardt wine estate is located in the very south of the Côte de Nuits, between Nuits Saint Georges and Beaune. In 2010, Antoine took over the vineyards from his grandfather Maurice Guyot. He began vinifying his own wine the following year. The estate's reputation began to take shape when he enlisted the help of his partner Juliette Joblot, producer of fine wines in the Givry appellation.

She has been with him from the start, passing on her experience in winemaking and ageing. Antoine Lienhardt's thirst for knowledge didn't stop there, however, and he went on to learn at two renowned wine estates in Chambolle Musigny and Chablis.

Following these various training courses, his work became more focused on controlling yields in order to bring as much elegance as possible to his wines. The range of wines is vast, from generic Burgundy to the finest Côte de Nuits Villages, notably "Les Essards", "Les Plantes aux Bois" and "Aux Vignottes".

Our wine estates are part of a culture that respects both know-how and the environment. Limiting yields produces juices of superb richness. The attention paid to each cuvée is worthy of the know-how of the great names of Vosne-Romanée's finest climats. Extractions are very gentle, lasting around 12 days. Barrel ageing lasts around 12 months and is never carried out with new wood, so as not to mark the wine.

The result is juice of superb intensity and aromatic complexity. The definition of fruit and spice is formidable. On the palate, the wines are very juicy and richly fruited in a case of finesse. Great attention is also paid to the texture of the tannins, which can easily be described as very elegant.
