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.
Les Maou'
Vincent and Aurelie Garreta, a former environmental researcher and postal worker who traded careers for vines, farm 10 hectares of certified-organic old vines near Gordes in the Vaucluse, producing precise and fruit-driven natural wines from over a dozen traditional varieties.
Henri Milan
A Provencal pioneer who pushed organics into true natural winemaking, Henri Milan farms biodynamically at the foot of the Alpilles near Saint-Remy.
La Mongestine
Harry and Céline Gozlan, with winemaker Maxime Gamard, farm 31 organic hectares on a high-altitude Provence plateau above Jouques, crafting mineral, fruit-forward wines that stand apart from the region's mainstream rosé.
Château de Roquefort
A north-facing Provençal amphitheatre near Cassis where biodynamic farming and a long de Villeneuve legacy yield rosés and reds that defy the region's commercial cliches.
