This is what happens when Parisians fall in love with Gamay and refuse to cut corners.
Jean and Stéphanie de Rotalier spent a decade running a wine bar in Paris, drinking everyone else's wine and dreaming about making their own. In 2020, they bought a 150-year-old sharecropper's farm in Salles-Arbuissonnas. Now they farm 2.5 hectares of 40- to 60-year-old Gamay vines organically (herbal teas, sulfur, copper, no bullshit additives) and make wine the way it's supposed to be made: by hand, with friends, without shortcuts.
What you get is Beaujolais that drinks like it came from somewhere real. Not mass-produced. Not trying to be anything other than what Gamay does best when you don't mess with it.
A fun tidbit about the region Brouilly "Pisse Vieille": Yes, that's the actual name. It comes from a legend about a hard-of-hearing woman and a priest. The heroine of this legend is a good local woman, a very pious winegrower who regularly went to confession at the parish priest’s house to tell him about her minor sins. But she had nothing very serious to tell. That is why, quite simply, one day, the priest freed her by telling her : “Go! And don’t sin anymore ! But the old woman was a bit hard of hearing. She heard, simply : “Go! And don’t pee anymore! It must be said that in Beaujolais patois, to sin is to piss.
The old woman was only relieved of her ordeal when her husband, worried, went to see the priest to ask him for details. And returned home, shouting, from the bottom of the hill, “Piss old woman, piss old woman, the priest said it! And so it was named.

Small production. Hand-harvested. Once they're gone, they're gone.
These bottles don't exist in stores. Most never leave their region
A few thousand bottles made per year, sold locally or at the vineyard, and that's it.
I Import micro-production wines from European winemakers the industry doesn't know what to do with. Career-switchers. Family farmers bottling their own grapes for the first time. Those who ditched the AOC to make the wine they believed in.
If you respect people who take risks to build something real, these are your wines. Think: what Michelin restaurants serve, but you'll never find in stores.

HOW THIS WORKS
No subscription. No commitment. Just wine worth drinking.
STEP 1: Get on the list
We do limited drops. We do limited drops. You'll hear from us when we've found something good.
STEP 2: We find the good stuff
Tiny, one-person vineyards. Winemakers who still stomp grapes and swear at the weather. Each bottle is rare, personal, and made by someone who actually gives a damn.
STEP 3: You pick your pace
We tell you where we're going and what we're bringing back. Skip a drop if you want. No pressure.
STEP 4: Drink better
Your box lands at your door. Open one with takeout. Share one with friends who don't suck. Save one for when life feels beige. No sommelier required.
It's like a souvenir from a trip you didn't take.
