Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature
Portraits and interviews with the world's finest natural wine producers — farmers and winemakers who work in harmony with terroir, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for the land.
No Control
Former sports marketer turned punk-rock vigneron Vincent Marie launched No Control in 2012 in Volvic, Auvergne, farming 5 hectares of 117-year-old Gamay vines on volcanic soils with a horse and bottling every wine without sulfur, filtration, or any oenological additions.
Vivanterre
A cross-regional natural wine project from Auvergne's Patrick Bouju and Justine Loiseau, blending grapes from volcanic soils, Alsace, and Beaujolais with zero sulfites added.
Domaine la Bohème
Patrick Bouju's pioneering Auvergne domaine, farming century-old volcanic-soil vines and crafting vivid, mostly zero-sulfur Gamay and Chardonnay near the Puy de Dome.
Henri Chauvet
A former finance professional turned vigneron, Henri Chauvet farms 10.5 hectares of Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay on the volcanic slopes of Boudes in the Côtes d'Auvergne.
Tricot
Marie and Vincent Tricot work pre-phylloxera vines in Auvergne's volcanic Puy-de-Dome, making zero-sulfur wines that define modern French natural wine.
