Yuka & Clotaire Michal Beaujolais 3-Pack
Three ways to love Gamay.
This exclusive 3-pack from Yuka & Clotaire Michal brings together three wildly different expressions of the same grape—each made naturally, with no additives, and all from organically farmed vines in the hills just outside Beaujolais.
From bright and chillable to bold and age-worthy, these wines show off the full range of what Gamay can do when it’s grown with care and made with intention. All three are fermented with native yeasts, bottled unfiltered, and made with minimal intervention.
What’s inside:
- Libre Pensée 2021
A light, floral Gamay with silky texture and a lifted finish. Notes of cranberry, strawberry, crushed violets, and pink peppercorn.
- Terrien 2023
Whole-cluster carbonic maceration creates a fresh, crisp red with smooth tannins. Expect wild herbs, red berries, and a bright, salty snap on the finish.
- Songe d’une nuit d’automne 2021
The deepest of the trio—aged in oak, with dark fruits, dried cranberries, and earthy herbs. Balanced, structured, and built to age.

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.

The short answer is, no! But many are. Glou-glou describes winesthat are easily chuggable, impossible to put the glass down, and seductively delicious! They tend to be young and fresh, designed to be drunk early with an average ABV of around 10%. Check out different styles or glou glou natural wine here on our site.
