Our resistance fighters
the bouquet, a natural & resistant Rosé
A tribute to Alain Bouquet, pioneer of resistant grape varieties.
Bouquet is a rosé with meaning. Its name is a tribute to Alain Bouquet, a visionary researcher at INRAE, who was behind the development of numerous disease-resistant grape varieties. Thanks to him, a new generation of wines is emerging, more sustainable, more responsible and quite simply delicious.
Made from 100% Bouquet Grenache, this rosé is a naturally resistant grape variety.
What does it look like in a glass?
The grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve their freshness, then cold-pressed directly. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, using only indigenous yeasts. No inputs, no sulfites added. Aged on fine lees, the wine acquires a silky, gourmet texture. The result: a pure, natural, expressive rosé!
TASTING NOTES
On the nose, Bouquet reveals notes of rose blossom, wild strawberry and citron zest.
On the palate, the attack is juicy and fruity, carried by peach aromas and a fine salinity that stretches the finish.
An elegant, light and thirst-quenching rosé!

a family of resistance fighters
A resistant grape variety is a cross between a local vine with recognized oenological aptitudes and
a disease-resistant wild vine native to the Americas.
up to 15 times Fewer treatments
Fewer products, less water, less time spent in the vineyard… and therefore less impact on the planet.Cleaner, simpler, more resilient viticulture in the face of climate change.
pollination manual
This natural crossbreeding is achieved by hand pollination (no genetic manipulation here!). Just as Syrah is born of a marriage between two ancient grape varieties.
Resistant to the worst diseases
The result of a natural cross between a European vine (well known for its oenological qualities) and a wild American vine, naturally immune to the main vine diseases: powdery mildew and downy mildew.

Understanding our wines
What exactly is a resistant grape variety?
A resistant grape variety is a natural cross resulting from manual pollination between a European vine (Vitis Vinifera) with recognized oenological aptitudes and a wild American vine (Vitis Rupestris) resistant to the diseases powdery mildew and downy mildew. A kind of super-organic!
Do you add sulfites or other inputs to your cuvées?
No. All our wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts, naturally present in the grapes. This is easy to do with our resistant grape varieties, as they are rarely treated and their natural yeasts are thus preserved.
So we don’t need to add any inputs. The natural acidity of our resistant grape varieties, combined with meticulous cellar management, means we can avoid adding sulfites to our wines.
What's the difference between a natural wine and an organic wine?
Organic wine complies with precise viticultural specifications, but still allows certain inputs during vinification.
Natural wine, on the other hand, goes one step further: it is organic and no additives are used during vinification.
Is your packaging really eco-responsible?
Yes, 100%. We use:
The lightest bottle on the market (370 g), made less than 80 km from the vineyard.
French cork, from forests in Roussillon.
Natural wax, instead of aluminum capsules.
Labels made from recycled fibers (sugar cane, hemp, flax).
Even our cardboard boxes are recycled!
