Natural wine has no uniform definition. It is a general term used to describe artisanal wine made using organically and/or biodynamically grown hand-picked grapes which are vinified with little or no intervention. Winemakers often rely on indigenous yeast to catalyse natural fermentation, avoiding the use of any chemicals, additives or sulphites.

The result is wine which is alive, energetic, vibrant and unexpected – a welcomed contrast to the industrial practices of the wine industry.

Terrior:

Their vineyard in Bourgueil enjoys a clement climate – exactly what Cabernet Franc, a late-developing varietal, needs. In Bourgueil they have different types of soils. Soils of ancient alluvium called “Galuches” or “les Galichets,” calcareous soils, and clay-flintstone soils called “les Perrières.”

Viticulture:

Vines are 25-40+ years on average. Vineyards receive ultra-organic care. No chemical fertilisers, only organic manure is used, plant diseases are treated by mineral or vegetal preparations. Pierre’s family have always farmed organically. Catherine and Pierre also farm biodynamically, the vineyard work is carried out in accordance to the planetary calendar, also, all wines are left for a whole lunar month, after the ageing period, before being bottled.
