Chasselas - Languedoc - Vin de France
Bottle's price: 21 EUR
Els Bassots is a captivating skin-contact Chenin Blanc from Conca de Barberà. Made biodynamically at around 450 metres of altitude, the grapes benefit from a dry climate moderated by cool sea winds. They are harvested by hand and macerated on their skins for roughly ten days before fermenting with native yeasts in stainless steel. Afterward, the wine rests for about one year in neutral French oak barrels, without filtering or fining, and without added sulphites. This approach gives the wine a light golden hue, creamy texture, and bright citrus hints. Its lively acidity and subtle mineral notes linger on the palate, reflecting both the region’s clay-limestone soils and the winemaker’s gentle touch. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Els Bassots offers a distinctive Spanish take on a traditionally French grape, showing that Chenin Blanc can flourish beautifully under the Catalan sun.

Cuvée Jeux de Bulles - Domaine Mouressipe - Pierre Saakovidi
Caviste
Jeux de Bulles is a delightful sparkling wine from Languedoc in southern France, born from a creative collaboration between the young vigneron Joé Chandelier and Domaine Mouressipe. Its name, meaning “play of bubbles,” captures the fun and vibrant spirit behind its production. Made with old Chasselas vines—some nearly a century in age—this wine benefits from low yields and careful organic farming. The grapes are pressed directly, and their juice ferments at a low temperature in stainless steel before continuing to ferment in the bottle, creating natural, lively bubbles. No filtering or disgorging is performed, so what you taste is as pure and authentic as the vineyard itself. Biodynamic principles guide every step, emphasizing harmony with nature rather than intervention. The result is a fresh, expressive sparkling wine that balances subtle fruit flavors with a clean minerality, reflecting both the passion of its makers and the character of the land.
