Terrien" Vin de France by Clotaire Michal is an interesting expression of the Gamay grape variety, which stands out for its freshness and liveliness. The grapes come from 40-year-old vines located on soils rich in pink granite and sand, with traces of quartz, which contribute to the minerality and finesse of the wine. Clotaire Michal's "Terrien" is an excellent representative of the potential of Gamay in contexts outside the classic Beaujolais appellation, with a focus on the quality and authenticity of the terroir.

Frederic Cossard's Bedeau is a wine that comes from 100% Pinot Noir grapes from different selected plots where agriculture respects the principles of the company philosophy. The harvest is manual, with meticulous selection of the grapes. The traditional fermentation takes place in wooden vats for 5-6 weeks including the malolactic fermentation, with a subsequent rest on the lees. After maceration, the wine ages in barrique for a maximum of 3 years. The wine is on notes of red fruit with hints of raspberry and strawberry and hints of undergrowth. Good structure and rather juicy on the palate.

Karim Vionnet's Fleurie is the gentle, floral soul of Beaujolais, a pure Gamay that blossoms amidst granite and gneiss soils. True to the name of its Cru, this wine enchants with its innate grace, born from 40-60 year-old vines cultivated with a radical organic approach and profound respect for the land.

Antoine Lienhardt's Chardonnay is a hymn to the rock and light of Comblanchien. Born from biodynamic vineyards where the bedrock emerges just a few centimeters above the ground, this white wine is pure mineral tension. Made from whole-bunch grapes with indigenous yeasts and no sulfites during fermentation, it ages in used barrels to reveal a bouquet of white flowers and cedar zest. On the palate, it is upright, vibrant, and "naked": a crystalline sip that doesn't filter the truth of the terroir, conveying all the saline elegance of the most authentic Burgundy.
