'After tossing in their thriving careers and leaving Paris for a less affluent but more meaningful life in the beautiful town of Mote near Faye d'Anjou, the two Dedoutbertins spent years in internships at other local wineries, honing their craft as farmers and winemakers. The wine they would make had to be natural wine, this much was clear, but soon a picture emerged of a winery that wasn't just going to talk the talk: organic, no sulfur, minimalist equipment and no burning of fossil fuels in the process. This means caring for horses instead of machines, bicycling to and from the vineyard, minimalist equipment, no chemicals, not even sulfur.' - Wine Monger (the importer)
100% Pineau d'Aunis. Harvest is by hand, grapes are foot pressed with maceration in open vats for 8 and 15 days. Indigenous yeast for fermentation and the juices are moved by gravity. The wines spend 12 months on their lees before bottling, without filtration. Stephanie and Vincent's vineyards are certified organic, plowed by horse, there is no machinery at all in the winery. This is an elegant wine that you're going to want to sip at home with a loved one, not plop down at a party to be drank by the masses. You'll thank me later.
