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.
Tailleurs Cueilleurs
Chloé Bey and Jordan d'Osualdo met at harvest in 2018 and founded Tailleurs Cueilleurs in Bugey in 2021, farming 4 biodynamic hectares in the Alpine foothills and making zero-sulfur Gamay, Mondeuse, and Chardonnay from their three mountain plots.
Yves Duport
Four generations of the Duport family have shaped the Bugey appellation; Yves now farms biodynamically and makes wines of alpine freshness.
Sonshine Vins
Lisanne van Son, a Dutch sommelier turned vigneron, makes joyful, low-intervention wines from her 4-hectare estate in the Bugey, where she and partner Edouard farm organically and let the wines find their own way.
Louis Terral
Louis Terral is the only still-wine producer in the village of Mérignat, farming 2.2 biodynamic hectares of Gamay and Chardonnay in the mountains of Bugey with a pickaxe, no inputs, and no sulfur additions whatsoever.
