Our resistant varieties
Les Grapi
Light, lively wines made with as much care as all the others!
The idea behind the Grapi was simple: make light, easy-drinking wines, real “glug-glug” wines.
To do that, we picked three disease-resistant grape varieties: Floréal for the white, Vidoc for the rosé and Artaban for the red. They are PIWI varieties: naturally robust against diseases, with no need for treatments in the vineyard. Fewer interventions, less impact, and healthy grapes that we vinify with as few steps as possible.
The choices we made for the Grapi
No wax
Wax looks nice, but it is expensive. We dropped it so we would not pass the cost on to the price.
Ultra-light bottle
The lightest bottle on the market. Less glass = less CO₂ in production and transport.
DIAM cork
Zero risk of cork taint. A reliable technical cork made from Roussillon cork.
Low in alcohol
Around 11% ABV. Wines made to be enjoyed on weeknights, at the table, without ceremony.
And what is it like in the glass?
TASTING NOTES
Grapiflou (Floréal, cloudy white): candied lemon, green apple, elderflower.
Grapillon (Vidoc, rosé): rose petals, wild strawberry, citron zest · generous attack, delicate salinity.
Grapivore (Artaban, red): juicy cherry, crunchy raspberry, white pepper · supple texture, discreet tannins, saline finish.

The wines
a family of resistant varieties
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 treatments, 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.
hand pollination
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 disease-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 sulphites or other additives to your wines?
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 is the difference between natural wine and 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-friendly?
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!
