Chute Libre from Terrain Vague is a red wine with an unusual story rooted in old Carignan vines from Fitou in the Languedoc region. Its journey began when the original 2022 vintage didn't finish fermenting, leaving a bit of residual sugar. To continue the process, the winemaker added freshly harvested Macabeo grapes from 2023, allowing them to soak for two months. This creative approach also included topping up with lees from another cuvée, giving Chute Libre extra character. The result is a light, lively red with a noticeably zesty acidity and a vibrant, fluid texture. It's a playful yet engaging wine that showcases the imaginative style of Terrain Vague, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bright twist on traditional reds.
Nefos is a captivating rosé crafted from three native Greek grapes—Xinomavro, Stavroto, and Krasato—grown high in the slate soils of Mount Olympus’s foothills. The 2022 vintage faced five months without rain and scorching temperatures above 40°C for over forty days, creating a distinctive depth and vibrant character. Handpicked grapes were fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then rested for eight months in old barriques. Unfiltered and naturally produced, this wine reveals the purest expression of its terroir. Interestingly, the previous 2021 harvest was delayed by heavy rains, resulting in higher sugar levels and a sweeter style. By contrast, the 2022 edition offers an elegant dryness, balanced by fresh acidity and subtle hints of ripe red fruit. Delight in its lightly savory edge and delicate tannins—a wonderful choice for those seeking a rosé that stands apart.

Chardonnay Grandcuroulet from Domaine Ratte is a single-parcel white from the Grand-Curoulet vineyard in Arbois, right in the heart of the Jura. The vines grow on soils rich in fossils, which give the wine a clear mineral side as well as a smooth, rounded feel. In the glass, it opens with notes of green apple, pear and a touch of citrus, followed by subtle hints of toasted hazelnut that reflect its Jura origins. On the palate it is precise yet generous, with lively acidity and a long, clean finish. This is a Chardonnay that shows Jura character more than power: refined, mineral and food-friendly. It pairs very well with mushroom risotto, grilled fish or fresh and soft cheeses, whether you open it for a relaxed outdoor lunch or a quiet dinner at home.
