Production Methods

Natural

Wine made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes with minimal intervention avoiding the use of chemicals, additives and technology.

Staff Pick Notes

Puppet Nat blurs the distinction between fine wine and grape soda. It is juicy, refreshing, off dry, and low alcohol. You'll want to pop open a bottle on a late Friday afternoon with friends. The 2020 is a light red made of Gamay and Cab Franc that were fermented a week in whole cluster, then bottled for the second fermentation. Baptiste Cousin is a natural vigneron who farms organically and vinifies with minimal intervention. He learned his craft from his natural wine legend dad, Olivier.
