No Control Winemaker Vincent Marie

This French winemaker is all about natural wines! They're converting their vineyard to organic farming, using special preparations and minimal tilling to keep the soil healthy and teeming with life. It's not just about avoiding chemicals, they even use a horse named Praline for some tasks instead of machines! This dedication to nature extends to their winemaking, contributing to what they call "living and natural wines." Basically, these folks are passionate about creating delicious wines in a way that respects the environment and lets the grapes truly shine.

The Region

Auvergne, France

Auvergne: Where volcanic fire meets funky wines!

Auvergne is France's secret weapon, nestled amongst volcanic mountains! This offbeat region cranks out exciting natural wines! Imagine sun-drenched vineyards where ancient volcanic fire once raged. The grapes here soak up all that mineral magic, resulting in unique wines with a wild streak. Think Gamay with a spicy kick and Chardonnay that's surprisingly deep. Plus, many producers here are free spirits, crafting wines that are pure, unadulterated fun with minimal intervention.
