The Barmès children, Maxime and Sophie, have taken up with application and conviction the work initiated by their father (who died accidentally in 2011): organic (certified since 2001) and biodynamic farming, manual work as much as possible, no additives (neither yeast, nor chaptalization, nor fining) other than sulphur in minimal quantities. A single priority: to obtain the best climatic and geological expression of each of the 7 parcels of the estate (4 "villages" and 3 grands crus). Their Rieslings, with great ageing potential, are absolutely exemplary.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Rosenberg, northern slope dominated by sandstone clay and limestone, deep soil, ample and seductive wines.

An estate that is as traditional (in the Pignier family since 1794) as it is avant-garde (cultivated biodynamically since 1998). Its vineyard (14 hectares in the commune of Montaigu) extends over clay-marl-limestone soils, planted with red grape varieties (mainly Trousseau and Poulsard) on south-facing slopes, and white varieties (Chardonnay and Gamay Blanc) on north/north-east facing slopes. The entire range expresses the qualities of purity, spontaneity and authenticity that make Jura wines so successful today. Awarded two stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Vin Jaune, a great Jura classic, is presented here in a powerful and expressive version, with aromas of citrus, nuts, rancio and characteristic bitter notes that call for poularde with morel mushrooms and Comté cheese.

After a degree in chemistry, Maxime Salharang chose, somewhat by chance, to go into oenology. He trained in several great Bordeaux châteaux (Smith Haut-Lafitte, Carbonnieux) and was introduced to biodynamics at the Domaine de Souch in Jurançon, before going into his own vineyards at Clos Larrouyat (3 ha) with his wife Lucie. The full eastern exposure and the unique specificity of the subsoil (clay and pebbles rolled on a strip of Trias) give his wines a delicate freshness, intensity, minerality and length rare for the appellation. The work and thoughtful application of the Salharang couple convince us that Clos Larrouyat is a future great of the appellation.

Rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide (from 2026 onwards).

"Météore" is a blend of 30% gros manseng and 70% petit manseng, aged for 6 months in non-new barrels. Fresh and delicate, lively and intense, with a marked saline touch on the finish. Rated 92/100 in 2020 and 93/100 in 2021 by the 2023 guide of the Revue du Vin de France.

The sweet "Phoenix", a 100% small manseng, is cloudy because of its low sugar content and its freshness. The aromatic intensity (verbena, pineapple, tangerine, citrus zest) of petit manseng is expressed without heaviness thanks to its tractable vivacity and its measured liquor.

An iconic and historic estate in Bandol, owned by the Tempier family for nearly two centuries. It was Lucien Peyraud, husband of Lucie Tempier, who, from 1945 onwards and as President of Bandol wines, fought to impose Mourvèdre (minimum 50%) in the appellation. Despite their natural concentration and power, the estate's reds manage to remain distinguished, refined and harmonious, while possessing a ageing potential worthy of the greatest Rhône wines.

Rated three stars in the Guide de la Revue du Vin de France.

La Migoua, only 55% Mourvèdre (complemented by Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah), is the estate's highest altitude single vineyard cuvée. It is also the freshest and most elegant, with an unrivalled velvety texture.

Young and passionate winegrower, Alexandre Delétraz created the Cave des Amandiers in 2008 on the small steep terraces of Fully overlooking the Swiss Rhone Valley, between 400 and 900 m of altitude. This is an ideal terroir for the expression of Petite Arvine (a magnificent white grape variety native to the Valais) and Syrah (as in the French Northern Rhône Valley). "A heroic viticulture. The wines have gained in precision consecrating the estate among the stars of the region" for the Revue du Vin de France.

With a classic Côte-Rôtie nose (red fruits and violet), this fresh, juicy and refined Syrah finishes with the peppery notes so characteristic of the grape variety.

Vayots Dzor is not Armenia's largest wine-growing region, but it is undoubtedly the most prestigious, with a history dating back to the very origins of viticulture: it is home to the first known wine cellar, dating from the 4th millennium BC. This high-altitude vineyard (1,400m to 1,650m), isolated from the world by its steep terrain, has never been affected by phylloxera and is still entirely planted with ungrafted indigenous grape varieties.

Produced with two indigenous grape varieties, Voskeat and Garandmak, Voskì is a vibrant dry white wine (12.5% alcohol) with a lively freshness that is not without generosity. It has a beautiful aromatic expression, sappy and finely acidic (lemon, grapefruit, broom), reminiscent of the Vermentinos of Provence.

Priorat is, since 1954, one of the only two "qualified" designations of origin ( with Rioja). However, world fame for this terroir only came about in the 1990s, under the impetus of Álvaro Palacios and René Barbier (Clos Mogador). With its very steep terrain, schist and slate soils and a climate full of contrasts due to its altitude (300 m to 1000 m), Priorat is a land of predilection for grenache (the flesh) and carignan (the bones).

In addition to the usual quality standards (very old vines, low yields, manual harvesting, etc.), what is most striking about Álvaro Palacios is his modern vision of Priorat with, from top to bottom of his range, wines that harmoniously combine minerality, richness, elegance and sweetness. If Ermita has rightly become a cult wine that is sought after worldwide, it is the harmony of its range, down to the "small" Camins del Priorat, that commands admiration.

The range of Álvaro Palacios is built around Grenache (as in Rayas), whose proportion in the blend increases with the quality of the wine. In addition, each cuvée contains a small amount (1% to 2%) of white grapes (white grenache, macabeu...) for added freshness.

Les Terrasses comes from old north-facing vines, 50% Grenache and 50% Carignan, with aromas of ripe fruit (black cherry), round and suave without any heaviness.

Riserva is a selection of the oldest vines in Currá, produced only in the greatest vintages. A dream Barbaresco, with perfectly polished tannins.

A historic property (formerly the farm of the Grand Dukes of Tuscany), Fèlsina is one of Chianti's leading producers and, as such, is entirely dedicated to Sangiovese (100% of its vineyards), which finds one of its most accomplished expressions here. Across all its vintages, Fèlsina demonstrates a keen sense of balance and finesse, a stubborn determination to preserve the freshness of the fruit by avoiding any jammy notes, and above all, consistently fair prices.

Since 1967, Berardenga has been the estate's basic vintage, fruity, full-bodied (despite its translucent colour) and immediately flavourful.

Fontalloro is their ‘modern’ version of Chianti, sourced from the highest vineyards (400 metres above sea level) in the southern part of the appellation. The grapes are harvested twice to ensure that only perfectly ripe bunches are picked each time, and the wine is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. This wine is classified as a Tuscan appellation, better known for export than its Chianti Colli Senesi appellation.

António Madeira, a French engineer of Portuguese origin, decided in 2010 to return to the land of his ancestors, the Serra da Estrela. On this magnificent granite plateau considered to be the “terroir of the grands crus” of the Dão, António cultivates his plots of old vines (over 50 years old) planted with more than 30 grape varieties in a very hands-off manner. (more than 30 grape varieties). With moderate alcohol levels, his wines, which are more infused than extracted, have very pure aromatic expressions supported by delicate structures. A Burgundian version of Portuguese wines.

Delicate on the palate, Tinto is full-bodied and luscious with delicious fruitiness. A very fine entry-level wine, predominantly made from black Alfrocheiro grapes.
