We believe that wine is the extension of the farmers. By knowing them directly, we guarantee the quality of their product. We never buy wine until thorough visits of the vineyard. No fare, no intermediate, all partnership starts in person at their estate. Also, if they don’t farm the land and source their own fruits, we pass. 95% of the hardship lies in all the cares brought to the terroir and the vines. We want to support the families that are proud to farm and produce their wine from their own labor.

Organic wine are certification granted by public or private entities depending on the winery country. In the USA, it is delivered by the US Department of Agriculture and impose more drastic measures than average, especially in terms of sulfites content. In France, specific entities mandated by EU are in charge of following the regulation. It is overall very strict but leaves more rooms about sulfites.

There are no strict definition about Natural wine since there is not certification for that. For us, a natural wine is a wine that went through natural fermentation, meaning that no yeast were added in the process. It is usually done by smaller winery that have a good understanding of their estate and product. It is also easier on warm vintage and specific region as stagnant humidity can easily contaminate the wine. Therefore, it is not exactly the same by the EU standards but can definitely be cumulated.

There are no strict definition about biodynamic wine since certifications tends to vary from one entity to another. In the 1920’s, Rudolph Steiner defended his philosophy of understanding nature, its cycle, its interactions and reactions to the cosmos and lunar cycles. He prevented the uses of synthetic compound and promoted the re-introduction of natural elements. While many would debate about his nonscientific approach, this created a path towards organic farming. In terms of quality, sulfites being extremely limited or avoided brings more room for contamination. In the hand of an untrained or self-taught young vintner, the wine will probably end up tasting “funky”, with a little fizz, like cider, or off smells. All these signs are proof of contamination benign to human, but you are still paying a lot of money for flaw wines. On the other hand, if you leave the work to a veteran of this techniques, you could find a fantastic experience. To sum it up, if you want to try one, go for one that is made by a “Breaking Bad” level chemist: everything must be always pristine clean to prevent contamination, and your vintner must have an advance level in bio chemistry understanding. We know some, they do exist.

HVE stands for « Haute Valeur Environnementale », it translates in High Environmental Value. It is a certification only available in France and granted by the French Ministry of Agriculture. It measure and approve sustainable farms that goes beyond taking care of their plant. It introduced the concept of measurable biodiversity where interaction with other vegetal brings a wild life that helps prevents natural issues. Along that, chemical products are extremely limited. All the winery we are working with are in the process or already have adopted this charts.

It all depends on if and how the wine is fined: sometimes, wine can get cloudy due to elements naturally resulting from the process of vinification. While it is absolutely safe and natural, consumers who are not aware of that feel uncomfortable drinking “cloudy” wines. In order to satisfy the demand, the wine can go through “fining”, a process intended to clear the beverage of particles. Before bottling it, egg albumin (egg white or shells) could be used to attract and capture unwanted sediments. Nowadays, vintners tend to use vegetal based clarification compound such as bentonite clay. This way the wine is registered as vegan wine. You can also have wine without fining, it just requires times. They are vegan too.

Here is a fun educational video on YouTube.

Like for vegan wines, it all depends on the fining process. Gluten contamination can occur with specific vegetal compound. If the wine does not go through fining, it is gluten free. If the wine is fined with animal based compounds (egg white, shells, fish protein…), it is gluten free. Most of the mineral compound are gluten free and only a few number of vegetal protein based ones can expose to gluten.

In this order, dry red wine, dry rose wine, dry white wine, dryer sparkling. Sweet wines and fortified wines tends to have the highest level of sugar.

Dessert wine and fortified wines first, followed by sweet wines and sweeter sparkling wines.

In traditional making wine, the amount of carbs is very low, way under the level of a regular beer. Dry red wine will tend to have the least, while sweet or dessert wine can have significantly more.

Overall, Salmon goes well with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Blanc de Blanc sparkling, Rose, Sparkling rose, Gamay and Pinot Noir.

The key to achieve the best pairing is actually to take in consideration all elements present in your dish and look for the most compatible wine for all of them.

Overall, Chicken goes well with Merlot and Malbec, then Cabernet franc, Pinot Noir, Rose, Chardonnay, sparkling and Rose Sparkling.

Overall, Steak goes well with Grenache Noir, Malbec and Pinot Noir, then Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.

Wine is a beverage made out of fermented grape juice, before becoming vinegar. In order to make it, you need grapes and yeast, indigenous or artificial, to transform the sugar into alcohol.

As of right now, Georgia, in Caucasus region, seems to be the eldest place to produce wine: 6,000 BC. It seems that they were burying grape juice to preserve it over winter and fermentation would happen

The yeast is naturally present on the skin of grapes that are harvested and not washed. It is the thin white dust on top of it. These bacteria transform the sugar into alcohol. This process is called Alcoholic fermentation. Later on, most of the time after the sugar is no more, a second yeast emerges and starts a new fermentation that will give a heavier body to the wine. It’s named the malolactic fermentation. This is especially used to make red wine or heavier white (buttery Chardonnay, here we go!). However, this step is optional and the vintner can prevent it. Both fermentation can happen naturally or forced by the winemaker.

A red Bordeaux style or Bordeaux blend incarnates a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and/or Merlot along with the other varietals from Bordeaux Region: Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Carmenere. Bordeaux is a famous wine region in the southwest of France.

In the North, the red are made with Syrah/Shiraz only while white wine can be single varietal Viognier or blends of Marsanne and Roussane.

It is a red grape varietal which origins is hard to track since it easily mutates. Some testimony from 1st Century CE may refer to it being already present in Burgundy.
