Presentation of non-aligned wines :

Wine is a culture. It has its religions, rites and ideals. Obviously, it is not only a question of "cultivating" grapes, harvesting them ripe, fermenting their sugars, and raising them. But inside all this there are a thousand ways to do, methods based on family and local knowledge, but also innovations, sometimes framed by morals or laws. We will be interested in them.

Winemaking methods :

Today we are going to present you 3 non-aligned wines.

• Censuré blanc 2017 Domaine Chapelle Bérard

The technical approach implemented for this wine does not fall within the scope of an AOC or a PGI. It can only be marketed in Vin de France.

A white of blacks is a white wine made from red grapes. Astonishing, yes ... but not so much since it is a traditional Champagne practice, the bubbles more obviously!

• Mokofin 2015 (Apple wine) Domaine Bordatto

Mokofin has a great finesse, sensations in the mouth are almost reminiscent of a wine. It comes from 9 varieties of apples harvested very late. Both sweet and sour, they give to this wine a perfect balance.

• Sens interdit dry Domaine FERRER-RIBBIERE

Le Sens interdit comes from a traditional winemaking destemmed in white. It undergoes a controlled temperature fermentation for a month and a half.

This wine is high in Solera, which means, an oxidative breeding. In unclosed vats and outdoors at the end of oxidation.

Bottled after at least 1 year of "suffering".

Tasting :

Censué blanc-> Nose: the rare collision of aromas of white and red fruits. Full mouth in roundness and suppleness.

Mokofin -> The nose is marked by the apple. The mouth is superbly balanced, with a dense and round flesh, both soft and sharp, with a very shale tension. A slightly sweet finish, but without sweetness. It looks like the blind 15-20 g / l, but there are 70 g / l.

Sans interdit -> Light amber color.

Nose: Extremely powerful oxidative aromas of candied citrus and garrigue plants. Mouth very powerful, but elegant at the same time with a lot of freshness, without excess. Incredible length.
