Born in Besançon, Manuel Girard will study engineering in biology. It was after spending more than 22 years in the field of medical research that he decided to give up everything in 2019. He passed a BPREA in viticulture and left to learn how to make natural wine, to our greatest joy. Manuel Girard will start by planting a few Syrah vines in his garden, just to get his hands on it, then he will spend the harvest and vinification at Nuit St Georges at Philippe Gavignet. Subsequently, it was with the Bertrand Family, in the beautiful Fleurie appellation in Beaujolais, that he worked for more than 2 years to acquire knowledge and skills. And it is at the beginning of 2021 that he will acquire his first plots, the Initiatique vintage is born! He was then 50 years old, the same age as the plots he took over. Then in 2022 it will be 0.6 ha in the Fleurie appellation that he will lease again. Today the estate extends over 1.8 ha including plots in Fleurie, Morgon and some Chardonnay in the commune of Lancié. The wines are vinified naturally, with as few inputs (so2) as possible.

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!
