Initialement un commercial pour la tonnellerie de l'Adour, Imanol a exploré le monde des vins naturels grâce à des rencontres enrichissantes, notamment avec Richard Leroy. Cette expérience a éveillé en lui une profonde passion pour la Terre, la vie et la création de vins authentiques. Originaire de San Sébastian, dans le Pays-Basque espagnol, Imanol s'est finalement établi dans les terres du Madiran, à Orthez. Il a lancé son activité de négoce dans le Sud-Ouest, s'approvisionnant en raisins tant du côté espagnol que français, refusant de choisir entre ses deux pays d'origine. Parmi ses fournisseurs, il a établi une relation particulièrement étroite avec Jean du domaine Pichard, partageant une vision différente du vin, mais un respect mutuel. Imanol a décidé de vinifier les raisins de Jean à sa manière, en privilégiant des méthodes naturelles et respectueuses de l'environnement. Au fil de ses rencontres sur les terres pyrénéennes, Imanol n'a pas seulement acheté des raisins, il a également planté ses propres vignes (2 ha) à Irouléguy et à Orthez, cultivant Tannat et Raffiat de Moncade un cépage autochtone rare. Profondément respectueux de la nature, Imanol laisse ses vignes s'exprimer librement. Son chai à Orthez est le lieu où il expérimente chaque millésime avec passion. Les degrés de maturité des raisins varient, les assemblages évoluent, et les élevages sont réalisés dans divers contenants, de cuves inox aux jarres en grès, en passant par les barriques et les amphores. Imanol Garay, en plus de prendre soin de ses vignes, les berce même au son des notes de son piano, créant un environnement unique dans son chai. Pour résumer, Imanol Garay incarne l'histoire d'un homme qui a choisi de suivre sa passion pour le vin naturel, laissant la terre et le vivant guider sa créativité. Sa quête l'a conduit à travers les terroirs des Pyrénées, donnant naissance à des vins singuliers, vibrants, et débordant de personnalité, témoignant de son engagement envers l'authenticité et le respect de la nature.

A superb boutique offering some very fine natural wines that are off the beaten track. One drawback: the bottles are very expensive overall: it would be nice to enrich the range with affordable/pleasurable wines.

Several specifications correspond to these denominations. 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 winemaker not only works without 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 vine cultivation into a global environment. Sulphites can be as low as 70 mg/L for reds and 90 mg/L for whites. In Vin Méthode Nature, the specifications specify the use of organic grapes, fermented naturally with 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 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're 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 all the way to you!
