Marée Haute was founded in the spring of 2020 by Clara & Baptiste with the aim of highlighting natural wine on the island of Oleron, and throughout France. Both natives of the island of Oleron, we made the decision to offer our wines online too!

Don't hesitate to contact us by e-mail glouglou@mareehaute.vin or by phone 06 47 92 11 15. If you have any questions, or would like to find out more about natural wines and our cellar, we will be delighted to answer you as quickly as possible.

And yes, Marée Haute also has a boutique in Saint Pierre d'Oléron! So if you're ever passing through our beautiful island, don't hesitate to come and say hello! We welcome you Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 1pm and 3.30pm to 7pm, at 16 rue Raymond Grandsart - 17310 Saint-Pierre d'Oléron.

Several specifications correspond to these denominations. Although we often hear about sulfites, which are rightly accused of causing headaches, many other products can be used in the composition of so-called conventional wines.
Here's an overview of the different organic, biodynamic and natural specifications:
Organic specifications (AB label) prohibit all use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyard and cellar. It does, however, allow for a few oenological crutches during vinification. Sulfites, for example, are tolerated up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for whites.

In biodynamic viticulture (Demeter or Biodyvin label), the winegrower not only works without the use of synthetic chemicals, but also takes into account the lunar calendar for all the operations he carries out. He also uses biodynamic preparations (fermented horn dung, silica, plant teas, etc.) to strengthen the vines. Overall, the winegrower seeks to integrate the cultivation of the vine into a global environment. Sulfites can be as low as 70 mg/L for reds and 90 mg/L for whites.

For natural wines (Vin Méthode Nature label), the specifications specify the use of organic grapes, fermented naturally using indigenous yeasts (as in biodynamic viticulture). Natural wines receive no inputs during vinification or ageing. Only minimal doses of SO2 are permitted (30 mg/L maximum), and these must be specified by the winemaker. No brutal filtration or alteration techniques are permitted. We also find the Vins SAINS designation, which aims to ban the use of sulfites altogether.

Our aim is to offer you wines made by artisans, from small-scale estates, often family-run. That's why we take the time to travel the length and breadth of France, from vineyard to vineyard, in search of the natural wines that make us tick. We are particularly keen to help you discover the new winemakers of tomorrow, who are working tirelessly to bring us magnificent wines. We want to showcase them, give them greater, clearer visibility, and accompany them to you!

Nothing could be simpler: give us a call! 06 47 92 11 15 or glouglou@mareehaute.vin and we'll be delighted to talk to you about your wines and estates, and maybe even about our next tasting?
