👨🏼‍🌾Vin Rouge réalisé par Stéphane Meyer.

Un Cabernet Franc de Saumur comme on en croise rarement. Revenu s’installer en famille en 2022, Stéphane Meyer signe ici une cuvée minuscule, issue d’une vigne familiale qui a peu donné sur ce millésime 2023 exigeant, marqué par un début de saison humide, un été très chaud et un tri drastique à la vigne comme en cave. Les raisins, bien mûrs et profondément aromatiques, ont été mis en macération pendant neuf mois avant un élevage en trois barriques, pour une production de moins de 900 bouteilles. Le vin s’ouvre sur un fruit noir mûr, une profondeur terrienne et une minéralité traçante qui portent le Cabernet Franc très loin des lectures variétales classiques. La bouche est intense mais fraîche, dense mais jamais lourde, avec cette patte paysanne, rare et habitée, qui rappelle les très grands rouges de Loire. Un vin de cave, de patience et d’émotion, déjà appelé à devenir une bouteille recherchée.

Stéphane Meyer, c'est l'histoire d'un vigneron originaire de Château-Chalon, dont la famille a baigné dans la vigne depuis des générations. Si vous avez entendu parler de François Rousset-Martin, sachez que ce sont des amis d'enfance, et que Stéphane fût son premier distributeur à Paris. En plus d'avoir été le président de l'appellation Château-Chalon pendant quatre ans, Stéphane s'est battu corps et âme pour que le monde découvre toute la richesse des terroirs de cette appellation. On associe souvent Château-Chalon au fameux vin jaune, mais en réalité, ce coin a toujours produit des vins ouillés à partir de Savagnin tout en finesse, bien éloignés de l'opulence des vins jaunes des autres coins du Jura, comme Arbois ou Pupillin. En 2016, Stéphane récupère une micro-parcelle familiale sur Château-Chalon (La Vigne Aux Dames) et la cultive. Son credo ? Laisser la nature s'exprimer. Pas de soufre, pas de cuivre, pas de rognage ni de travail du sol. La vigne produit donc peu, voire très peu. Son boulot à la cave est tout aussi simple : fermentations spontanées, levures indigènes et Stéphane laisse travailler son vin tout seul, sans trop s'en mêler. Son Savagnin, qui répond au nom d’Udumbara, se fait une place de choix dans les caves des amateurs de Jura au naturel. Après 4 ans d’élevage, Stéphane met en effet en bouteille un vin à la complexité immense et au potentiel de garde phénoménal. Dégusté plusieurs fois à l’aveugle, c’est un vin qui a bluffé plus d’un amateur ! Depuis 2023, Stéphane vit entre Château-Chalon et Thouars en Anjou. Il vendange quelques parcelles en friche du côté de Thouars et nous proposera bientôt peut-être de nouveaux vins aussi émouvants que l’était Udumbara…

There are a number of specifications corresponding to these designations. Although we often hear about sulphites, which are rightly accused of giving people a headache, 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:The organic specifications (AB label) ban all use of synthetic chemicals in the vines and in the cellar. It does, however, allow for a few oenological aids during vinification. Sulphites, for example, are tolerated up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for whites.biodynamic winemakers (Demeter or Biodyvin label) not only work without synthetic chemicals, but also take into account the lunar calendar for all the operations they carry out.

They also use 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. Sulphites 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). No inputs are used in natural wines throughout the vinification and ageing process. 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 sulphites altogether.

Our aim is to offer you wines made by artisans, from small-scale estates that are 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 thrill us. We're particularly keen to help you discover the new winegrowers of tomorrow, who are working tirelessly to bring us magnificent wines. We want to showcase them, give them greater, clearer visibility and bring them to you!
