The wines of Clos de Gamot are the humble benchmark of Malbec from this area, with the Jouffreau family passing winemaking traditions from father to son since 1610. There have been more than a few bumps along the way, yet the Jouffreau's had remained true to their vines, never abandoning their tradi CLOS DE GAMOT Cahors, South-West France Organic non-certified Revue des Vins de France: 1* STAR “In the sixties, Jean Jouffreau was an iconic and flamboyant vigneron like Henri Jayer, Olga Raffault or Jacques Reynaud (Rayas). Clos de Gamot was on the table of the presidents and sold by Christie’s. Le Clos de Gamot produce wines of great singularity, with a real depth and especially an intense expression of the fruit. With proven consistency, their wines are enjoyed with lots of pleasure.” The Wine Front, Gary Walsh Malbec, the grape that built Cahors, vinified by the most iconic winemaking family of the region- it’s the stuff of South-West dreams. The wines of Clos de Gamot are the humble benchmark of Malbec from this area, with the Jouffreau family passing winemaking traditions from father to son since 1610. There have been more than a few bumps along the way, yet the Jouffreau's had remained true to their vines, never abandoning their traditional grapes for trends and continuing to bottle wines when others in the region had defaulted. The philosophy of the Jouffreau family is simple: be good farmers. give things time, observe nature, be respectful. This approach has seen vines ageing back to 1885 still producing intense, great fruit. The vineyard is located on the second and third of the Lot river's terraces, composed of pebbles, gravel, and quartz mixed with alluvium of the Lot. With no use of herbicide, the workload on the vineyard is enormous. From a winemaking perspective, grapes are sorted when they join the cellar. Each plot is vinified separately, with gentle pumping over to keep a harmonious structure. Wine is aged for 18 to 24 months in old oak pungent with some 40 years old foudre (70hl and 100hl). Jean Jouffreau’s daughters and his son-in-law Yves Hermann have continued to lovingly care for the family vines, with Yves' son now joining the legacy. The tradition continues, with the focus on bottle maturation remaining. “A wine, like a person,” says Yves, “should have a personal story to tell over time.” With the range of vintages the estate offers, it is possible for consumers to affordably capture history in a glass. We’ll drink to that! Clos de Gamot is vibrant. Violet notes lead, with pure and fresh dark fruits, and approachable crunchy tannins. Skillful use of oak rounds out the package, with a long, persistent finish. Produced only for outstanding vintage, the Cuvee des Vignes Centenaires is made from +100 years old vines. After careful decanting, notes of plum abound, with generous concentrated ripe black fruits and subtle leather aromas. A wine to induce goosebumps on first sip. Old vintages from Gamot are bucket list wines. Older vintages such as 1978, 1988, 1990 are outstanding. The ability of Clos de Gamot wines to age and transform over time is exceptional.

Nestled in the heart of Saint-Estèphe, Château Le Crock is a property of quiet pedigree and profound potential. Since 1903, it has been in the hands of the Cuvelier family, also owners of the esteemed Château Léoville Poyferré in Saint-Julien. Their stewardship has helped shape Le Crock into one of the appellation’s best-kept secrets—a cru with a noble terroir and a distinct voice, bordered by some of Bordeaux’s most revered names: Cos d’Estournel, Montrose, and Haut-Marbuzet. CHATEAU LE CROCK Saint-Estephe Cru Exceptionnel, Bordeaux Organic Bettane & Desseauve: 2** stars Revue des Vins de France: “Estate of the Cuvelier family (Château Léoville Poyferré) enjoy very beautiful terroir, neighbours of Cos d’Estournel and Haut-Marbuzet. The Chateau is regularly highlighted as a profound, suave Saint-Estephe. The last vintages confirm a nice consistency, with a rich and seductive style, while ageing very well.” Nestled in the heart of Saint-Estèphe, Château Le Crock is a property of quiet pedigree and profound potential. Since 1903, it has been in the hands of the Cuvelier family, also owners of the esteemed Château Léoville Poyferré in Saint-Julien. Their stewardship has helped shape Le Crock into one of the appellation’s best-kept secrets—a cru with a noble terroir and a distinct voice. Its 32 hectares of vines lie in the northern Médoc, bordered by some of Bordeaux’s most revered names: Cos d’Estournel, Montrose, and Haut-Marbuzet. This proximity is no coincidence—the land here shares the same complex geology of gravelly topsoil and clay subsoils, lending structure, intensity and longevity to the wines. Like much of the Médoc’s finest terroirs, the vineyards overlook the Gironde Estuary, which acts as a natural thermal buffer, helping to create balanced wines even in challenging years. The wines of Château Le Crock are classic Saint-Estèphe, yet made with a modern touch. Expect richness, spice and structure, but also suave texture, supple tannins and a core of vibrant fruit. Their ability to charm in youth while ageing gracefully is a hallmark of the estate—a style that has been praised for its consistency and seductive appeal by Revue des Vins de France and Bettane & Desseauve. In 2025, this quality was formally recognised when Le Crock retained its prestigious status as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel. Much of the estate’s success today can be attributed to the thoughtful leadership of Jonathan Servant, Vineyard Manager since 2015. With a deep respect for the land, he began introducing organic practices soon after his arrival, culminating in Ecocert organic certification from the 2025 vintage. Sustainability is not a slogan here—it is a practice woven into daily decisions, from the vine to the bottle. The vines themselves are a major asset. Averaging 50 years in age, with some of the most prized plots planted just before World War II, they produce smaller yields of highly concentrated fruit. This natural reduction in volume is embraced, allowing the estate to focus unreservedly on quality. The vineyard is planted to the classic Médoc quartet: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Blending these varieties offers flexibility and nuance vintage to vintage. For example, the 2019 Grand Vin—a wine that captured our attention for its depth, finesse and balance—was composed of 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. In the winery, Cellar Master Yoann Lavigne oversees vinification with precision and care. Grapes are sorted and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel or concrete vats, allowing for gentle extractions that preserve fruit purity and site expression. Yoann works closely with Isabelle Davin, the respected oenologist at Château Léoville Poyferré, ensuring the same level of expertise and attention to detail found in their Grand Cru Classé wines. Ageing takes place over 12 to 15 months in a combination of French oak barrels—30% of which are new each year—and larger 500-litre casks. Recently, the team has introduced clay amphorae, a nod to innovation and the pursuit of freshness, allowing for greater aromatic precision and fruit clarity. We’ve long believed that Saint-Estèphe deserves more attention for the character, age-worthiness and elegance it can offer. Château Le Crock embodies all of these qualities with confidence and authenticity. From the vineyard's quiet evolution to the polished final blend in bottle, there’s a sense of thoughtfulness and restraint that speaks volumes. The 2019 vintage sealed the deal: this is a wine—and a story—we want to share.

Domaine Chai Saint Etienne is the underlying motivation for the beginnings of Mosaique wines- so forgive a little biased in this blurb. Located just 20 minutes from Cahors, the estate has been run by generations of Gisbert vignerons since 1778. CHAI SAINT ETIENNE Côteaux du Quercy, South-West France Sustainable Domaine Chai Saint Etienne is the underlying motivation for the beginnings of Mosaique wines- so forgive a little biased in this blurb. Located just 20 minutes from Cahors, the estate has been run by generations of Gisbert vignerons since 1778, focused on making wine to be shared amongst good company (and preferably over long lunches). The vineyard is nestled between fields of sunflowers and fruit trees, with vines wrapping around the church of Saint Etienne- its bell tower keeping watch over the grapes. Making the best wine possible from sustainable vinification methods is primary for our family, sticking to tried and tested processes from generations past, in order to create balanced and elegant Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Côt blends, as well as delicious Cabernet Franc and Rosé. Camille and son Roger knew they were on the right track as the land was cultivated for vines, finding multiple reminders of the Roman ambitions to also make wine on the site. The remnants of amphora, and of course the mosaics, continue to serve as a reminder of simple, yet effective, winemaking. The Coteaux du Quercy AOC is one of France's smallest wine region with only 400 hectares and less than 20 growers. After Phylloxera, Quercy, once 50 000 hectares, was almost destroyed. Roger Gisbert and his brave mates started their appellation from scratch. With high draining slopes of white clay and limestone soils, Cabernet Franc was chosen to blend with the Merlot, and of course the Côt (Malbec). Today, Benoit and Mathieu farm the vineyard sustainably, helped by the geographic situation of parcels on a protected south-east facing amphitheatre. Pruning is done with the moon like generation past, a grassy cover crop is left in every second row to reduce vigour and encourage competition, allowing lower yield.

Chateau des Rontets was founded in the 1700s in Pouilly Fuissé, Burgundy. It’s safe to say the 7.5 hectares of vines were not thriving when Claire and Fabio took the reins of the estate in 1995. From day one, the pair set upon farming organically to repair the health and biodiversity of the vines, and in 2005 attained their Ecocert organic certification. Today thanks to their hard work and patience they produce some of the most vibrant and pure natural wines in the region. CHATEAU DES RONTETS Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy Organic Revue des Vins de France: 1* star “Claire et Fabio, former architects now passionate vignerons, built a well-deserved following thanks to the excellence of their wines. On this unique 360 metres high terroir, they produce racy and complex Pouilly-Fuissé. Thanks to long ageing the wines gain exceptional maturity and balance.” Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy Bettane et Desseauve: 4* stars Home is where the vines are, as it turned out, for Claire Gazeau. After pursuing a life outside of wine, working in architecture in Milan and meeting her now husband doing so, the vines of Gazeau’s family vineyard in Pouilly-Fuissés eventually called her home. Thirty years later, Chateau des Rontets is producing its best wines yet. The estate was founded in the 1700s, taken over by Claire’s great-great-grandfather, François Varambon in the mid 1800s. The estate holds many treasured family memories, and upon moving there in 1995 Claire and her husband Fabio saw it as a wonderful place to raise a family of their own. It’s safe to say the 7.5 hectares of vines were not thriving when Claire and Fabio took the reins of the estate. From day one, the pair set upon farming organically to repair the health and biodiversity of the vines, and in 2005 attained their Ecocert organic certification. Organic farming, according to Claire and Fabio, is the best way for their vines to express the vocation of their place. Ploughing and the avoidance of chemical weeding allows the root system to absorb the mineral elements of the soil, exploring the unique layers of limestone and granite that come with straddling the Burgundy/Beaujolais divide. Above all, abolishing all synthetic chemical products allows Chateau des Rontets to respect the environment and the natural expressions of the living ecosystem, but also to preserve the health of their family, workers, neighbours and that of those who drink their wines. The main estate is situated on the top of the hill which closes the valley of Fuissé towards the south. Sitting at an altitude of 350 metres above sea level, the daily temperature range here is key to gradual ripening and the preservation of good acidity even in the warmest and earliest vintages. This is where the grapes producing the Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées Clos Varambon and Les Birbettes are grown. The bedrock is composed of hard limestone from the Jurassic period, with layers of silt and silty clay, and a high presence of stones and silica. These characteristics guarantee very good drainage and the development of the roots, which can burrow down between the stones, following their cracks. There are 5.5 hectares of vines within the Clos, planted on a light slope increasing gradually as it approaches the woods separating them from the village of Fuissé. Just 500m south of the Clos sits the revered Pierrefolle (or crazy stone) vineyard, producing the Pouilly-Fuissé cuvée of the same name. Although situated so closely, and at the same altitude, wines from Pierrefolle are completely different from their brethren. Being further south, the bedrock here is granitic, the soil is much deeper and composed only of quite thick silts. Its eastern exposure provides shelter from the north wind and tends to be slightly warmer, leading to a more rapid ripening process and less acid in the grapes. When it comes to vintage, all grapes are hand harvested, then, in the winery, Claire and Fabio continue to let their wines take a relatively uninterrupted course. Alcoholic fermentations are made only with natural yeasts, without any addition of sugar or acid and without enzymes, and the malolactic fermentations are never inhibited or artificially stopped. This practice can lead to long fermentations, often lasting several months, increasing the aromatic complexity of the wines and amplifying their expression of place. One part of the winemaking journey that is especially important at Chateau des Rontets is the extended lees ageing. Lees have a fundamental role in the specificity and texture of these wines, as the team chooses to let the wines sit on lees, without stirring, to take maximum advantage of the autolysis while limiting the tendency of reduction and ensuring the extraction of glycerol. Lastly, there is no fining or filtering of the wines. Instead, to help the wines settle before bottling, ageing in barrels takes place across two winters - a rare, yet effective approach.

Located in Souzay Champigny Chateau de Villeneuve is composed of 22ha of Cabernet Franc, along with 5ha Chenin Blanc, planted at 5,500 vines per hectare on limestone soils, with an average vine age of 40 years. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2009, however Chevallier has been farming according to organic principles since 1993. It must also be mentioned, the nostalgic Chevallier also has a few small parcels of gorgeous 80-year-old vines from his hometown of Dampierre-sur-Loire. CHATEAU DE VILLENEUVE Saumur-Champigny Organic certified Revue des Vins de France: 2** stars “Refining ageing and affirming with consistency like one of the greatest stylist of the Saumur area. We are totally convinced by these wines perfectly calibrated, which deliver sensual interpretations of cabernet franc, without denying their origin.” Vinous Bettane et Desseauve: Talent of the year 2026 and 3*** stars Why purchase just any old vineyard when you can snap up one with an 18th century chateau, complete with sweeping views of the Loire?! This may or may not have been the train of thought of Jean-Pierre Chevallier’s parents when they purchased Chateau de Villeneuve in1969, but in any case we consider it a good buy. The chateau had long been one in the hands of winemakers, with records showing wines produced on the site since 1577. Fittingly (and perhaps necessarily) a maze of old cellars, still in operation, can be found hidden underneath, and more recently in 2016 a modern winery was added to ensure the wines are made in the best of conditions. The estate itself is composed of 22ha of Cabernet Franc, along with 5ha Chenin Blanc, planted at 5,500 vines per hectare on limestone soils, with an average vine age of 40 years. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2009, however Chevallier has been farming according to organic principles since 1993. It must also be mentioned, the nostalgic Chevallier also has a few small parcels of gorgeous 80-year-old vines from his hometown of Dampierre-sur-Loire. In the vineyard, the utmost care is taken at each stage of the vine’s lifecycle. Chevallier prides himself on not taking ‘short cuts’, refusing to use chemical fertilizers or pesticides and working his vines and emphasizes that "in organic culture, we obtain more stable wines even at 13 ° and ph are lower. The roots really plunge into the ground.” Come vintage time, all grapes are hand harvested and carried in small crates to reduce any unnecessary damage. This is followed by hand sorting on the sorting table, before they are gently delivered, with the help of gravity, to underground vats, thus avoiding the harshness of the pumps. Aging takes place in a mix of foudre, 500L barrels, concrete and stainless steel tanks depending on the nature of the cuvee. Importantly, there is minimal sulfur used in the winery, and Chavallier does not add yeast or chaptalise. Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc lovers should find their happiness with Chateau de Villeneuve wines. Quality is the number one aim for Chevallier, resulting in balanced, mouth-watering cuvees, reflective of the land in which they are grown and the expertise of a family with five generations of local knowledge. Happily, the sixth generation are already on the job, with Jean-Pierre’s two daughters Caroline and Cecile set to continue the family tradition - we can’t wait to taste their legacy!

Nestled in the picturesque village of Grospierres, Cros des Calades is the innovative project of Florence and Benoît Chazallon. Grounded in organic practices, Cros des Calades champions the essence of Ardeche and southern Rhône’s unique terroirs by sourcing grapes from five neighbouring organic vineyards, each adding distinctive character to their wines. CROS DES CALADES Ardeche & Rhone Organic non-certified Nestled in the picturesque village of Grospierres, Cros des Calades is the innovative project of Florence and Benoît Chazallon, renowned for their work at Château de la Selve. Grounded in organic practices, Cros des Calades champions the essence of Ardeche and southern Rhône’s unique terroirs by sourcing grapes from five neighbouring organic vineyards, each adding distinctive character to their wines. The Chazallons follow the same philosophy here as at Château de la Selve, emphasising minimal intervention in the cellar to produce wines that are pure, vibrant, and true to the land. The vineyard’s diverse terroirs—from the cooler, clay-limestone soils, near the Cévennes to the warm Mediterranean climate—create ideal conditions for expressive, easy-drinking wines across various styles. The name "Cros des Calades" reflects a deep sense of place, derived from the Ardèche dialect meaning "pathway in the gorge"—a tribute to the region’s striking, mountainous landscape where these vines flourish. The Cros des Calades Ballon range includes a white, rosé, and red wine. Each wine is crafted with natural fermentation, showcasing the distinct character of its varietals: the red blends Grenache and Syrah; the white combines Grenache Blanc, Chardonnay, and Rolle (also known as Vermentino); and the rosé is a vibrant mix of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. In our time searching France for wines we love, it is rare to find wines that sit at such an affordable price point, which are truly a delight to drink and reflect our commitment to organic and sustainable wine production. We hope you enjoy discovering them!

Cidrerie du Leguer is based in Brittany, six hours drive directly west of Paris – so far west, the next step is the Atlantic Ocean. Here Cedric Le Bloas and his team craft artisanal ciders in very cool (ice cold) climate, farming a small 6 hectares of certified organic apple and pear trees. CIDRERIE DU LEGUER Britany Organic certified “A three hat cider" Who says great French ciders must come from Normandy?! Not us! Cidrerie du Leguer is based in Brittany, six hours drive directly west of Paris – so far west, the next step is the Atlantic Ocean. Here Cedric Le Bloas and his team craft artisanal ciders in very cool (ice cold) climate, farming a small 6 hectares of certified organic apple and pear trees. A Brittany native, Cedric completed his agriculture studies and travelled around the country and beyond, before stumbling upon what would become the Ciderie du Leguer. After restoring the orchard, 2016 saw the first vintage. Since then it’s been a labour of love and hard work – as Cedric and the team take it up on themselves meticulously maintain the farm following organic principles, lovingly tending to trees aged from between two and thirty years old. The trees themselves house a wide range of indigenous varieties, including: Marie Ménard, Jeanne Renard (Bitter varieties) Fréquin Rouge, Belle fille de la Manche Kermerrien, Frijelach’, Peau de Chien (Bitter-sweet) Bedan, Dous Moën, Douce Coët Lignée (Sweet) and finally Judor, Locart Vert, Rouget de Dol, Petit Jaune (Sharp). Each cuvee is made according to Cedric’s taste, however the same process is followed time and again. The trees are hand harvested three times between October and December, before further ripening in crates before pressing up to 4 weeks later. The ciders go through two ferments – the first lasting 5 months before bottling, followed by a 3 month fermentation in bottle. The ciders are bottled with no sulphur, just pure juice, naturally sparkling and spontaneous, no collage, only racking and filtering when required. All ciders are brut or extra brut. As for the end result? These are exceptional ciders with a vinous quality, brimming with character, complex and acid driven with perfectly balanced fruit and tannins. Granit: Considered as a brut cider, Cidre Granit is a ‘cuvee parcelaire’, or a ‘single orchard’. The top of the tree cuvee, so to speak. Round, generous, fruity, subtle tannins. Not bitter. Apple blending: 15% bitter, 50% bitter-sweet, 20% sweet, 15% sharp. BrutBrut: An extra-brut cider, this expression is fruity, slightly mineral, with good length and liveliness on the palate. Apple blending: 5% bitter, 50% bitter-sweet, 25% sweet, 20% sharp. Poiré: A brut perry packed with tension, flowery notes such as elderflower, fruity, fresh, round. Apple blending: Apple blending: 30% unknown variety of pears, 70% plan de blanc. www.cidrebio.com Shop ciders Quick View Cidrerie du Leguer, 'Jus de Pomme Petillant' NO Alcohol Price $29.00 GST Included Quick View NV Cidrerie du Leguer, Eau de Vie de Cidre Price $184.00 GST Included Quick View NV Cidrerie du Leguer, Ratafia de Pomme 18% Price $110.00 GST Included Quick View Cidrerie du Leguer, IGP Cidre de Bretagne 'Les Cailloux' Out of stock

Les Athletes du Vin is a collective of some of finest organic Loire Valley producers. Established in 2016, their objective is to make great value wines for wine lovers across the world, highlighting the appellations and grape varietals that contribute to the diversity and beauty of the Loire valley. DOMAINE DES TROUILLERES Auvergne Organic certified Volcanic soils, it turns out, are destined to follow Mikael Hyvert wherever he goes. Perhaps they have a natural pull that keeps Hyvert coming back. Either way, from the volcanoes of Tahiti that filled his youth, to the dormant rises of Auvergne, there’s no questioning Hyvert’s passion for this landscape. Growing up in Tahiti with a French father, and a family friend in the wine import trade, it was only a matter of time before Mikael would come to discover the pleasures of wine. When looking for a career path after graduating high school, it would only take a gentle nudge to point him in the direction of Bordeaux, and enrolling in Blanquefort viticulture school. And from here, the rest, as they say, is history. The natural wine bug bit hard during this time, as Mikael became more and more focused on these techniques. A friendship forged in Bordeaux with a Loire local then resulted in Mikael seeking out legends from the region, including Olivier Lemasson, Herve Villemade and Thierry Puzelat to work with and learn from. After an eventful vintage experience in Chile, Hyvert made his way back to the fertile learning grounds of the Loire and Bordeaux before an opportunity to make his own wine presented itself. Plans were already brewing to move to Languedoc with his archaeologist girlfriend, Camille, however the right fit was proving hard to find. Fate intervened when Camille was offered a 12 month contract in the Auvergne. The volcanic landscape reminded Mikael of his childhood in Tahiti and it wasn’t long before the winemaking potential of the region became apparent. While finding his feet in Auvergne with different domaines, fate again intervened through a chance meeting with winemaker Jean-Pierre Pradier, founder of the AOC Cotes d’Auvergne and owner of Domaine des Trouilleres. The connection between the two was immediate, with shared views on organic farming facilitating a friendship that would later lead to Pradier finding his successor in Mikael in 2016. The region is technically part of the Loire, where Mikael had already spent much time, and while it’s not as well known as other areas of the Loire, Auvergne has a long, storied history of resistance spirit. In fact, it used to be one of the biggest wine regions in France, with 45,000ha under vine before a combination of Phylloxera and population movement decimated the region. Today, Auvergne is enjoying a renaissance with young, dynamic winemakers making the most of more affordable land and excellent growing conditions for organic wines. The climate tends to be a dry mediterranean one, with continental influence and a mountainous landscape to provide protection from inclement weather - ideal for minimal intervention farming. Domaine des Trouilleres produces gamay, chardonnay and pinot noir in this climate, on a tiny 5.8 ha situated between 380 - 500m altitude. This pocket size vineyard planted at 5,500 vines per ha makes only 35,000 bottles yearly, so we consider ourselves very lucky to get an allocation! In the winery, Mikael follows natural winemaking practices to complement the organic approach in the vineyard. This means no sulphur use during vinification, with a small amount only used during bottling. The resulting wines are honest, lively reflections of their volcanic terroir and highlight the dynamism of this young producer. Shop wines We don’t have any products to show here right now.

Nestled in the heart of Anjou Noir, in the village of Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay, along the serene banks of the Layon River, lies Domaine Ogereau - a domaine that has been quietly crafting magnificent expressions of terroir-driven Chenin Blanc for over a century with vineyards across Anjou, Coteaux du Layon, Quart de Chaume Grand Cru, and Savennieres now run by Emmanuel Ogereau.  DOMAINE OGEREAU Anjou Noir, Savennieres, Layon, Quarts de Chaume Organic & Biodynamic Bettane et Desseauve: Producer of the year 2020 Revue des Vins de France: 1* Star “The consistency and precision of the wines year after year guided us to give the domaine its first start. Vincent Ogereau and his son Emmanuel, have a firm conviction of their vision for great Chenins of terroir, dry or sweet. Le Clos Le Grand Beaupréau (on Aeolian sands at the top of the hill d’Épiré) and La Saponaire are amongst some of the most ambitious whites of the Savennières appellation. Care and precision, these are two words that come often in the description of these wines.” Guide Hachette des Vins: Vigneron of the year – Loire Valley 2026 Nestled in the heart of Anjou Noir, in the village of Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay, along the serene banks of the Layon River, lies Domaine Ogereau - a domaine that has been quietly crafting magnificent expressions of terroir-driven wines for over a century. Born in the late 1890s, the journey of this family-owned domaine has been one of gradual evolution, with a deep appreciation for the land at the heart of it all. Beginning with vine plantings after the devastating of phylloxera, the masterful mosaic of vineyards now encompasses diverse terroirs across Anjou, Coteaux du Layon, Quart de Chaume Grand Cru, and Savennieres - the culmination of an enduring legacy of multi-generational winemakers now overseen by Emmanuel Ogereau. Born in 1989, all the clichés of life on the family vineyard ring true for Emmanuel. His early years were steeped in the rich traditions of winemaking, with plenty of time spent (willingly) in the family cellars instilling a profound love, energy and enthusiasm for the craft which endures. Following his formal education, Emmanuel pursued winemaking and viticulture studies in Angers, honing his skills and knowledge before venturing to the far corners of the earth, interning at Carrick, a biodynamic vineyard in Central Otago. Upon meeting Emmanuel, his passion for all things wine is evident. He is proud of his family and their achievements (particularly his father, Vincent who is renowned as one of Anjou's classic winemakers), but also champions other producers in the region who are as progressive and curious. Emmanuel’s knowledge of the region is intimate, and it shows in his approach to winemaking. Understanding the array and complexity of soil types (Dark Schist, Aeolian Sand, Sandstone Vein, Puddingstone and Carboniferous Coal, Spilite, Sandstone Schists, and Altered Schists) is crucial to be able to farm the plantings of Chenin Blanc, Grolleau, Pineau d'Aunis, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon organically (certified Ecocert). This commitment and respect for the land is foremost, with an ongoing conversion to biodynamic viticulture (Biodyvin) underway for his 23 hectares. Without doubt, the variety Domaine Ogereau can hang its hat on is the region hero - Chenin Blanc. In the realm of Chenin, Emmanuel is unyielding in his dedication to showcasing the remarkable diversity of terroirs and treatments. His contribution to the family domaine has been his meticulous approach to crafting these wines, a dedication to the 'No Botrytis' style setting a new standard for how pure dry Chenin Blanc can be. The grapes are harvested before the onset of botrytis, ensuring that only unaffected berries make it into the final wines. For the dry whites, any botrytised grapes are painstakingly removed. The harvest is conducted in two sweeps, focusing on the golden moment when the grapes start to turn yellow. In the cellar, Emmanuel uses sulphur judiciously, avoiding overuse, and occasionally explores trials with zero added sulphur. His exacting standards extend to the selection of juice, with whole clusters gently pressed without crushing. Pressing is slow and the first twenty litres of free-run juice are consistently discarded in order to avoid undesired herbaceous notes and bitterness. Natural fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks, then the wines are transferred to their ageing vessels: cement tanks lined with sandstone tiles, 400 and 500-liter barrels or Stockinger foudre (no new oak). The wines ferment until fully dry for the sec. They are usually lightly filtered. Important note, sometimes 30% of his Chenins undergo partial malolactic fermentation, a ‘winemaker’s choice’ to enhance the character of his wines. Emmanuel Ogereau's wines are the embodiment of the finest terroir-driven expressions, marked by precision, elegance, and a connection to the land. As Emmanuel continues to refine his craft and innovate, the wines of Domaine Ogereau are just getting better and better.
