{"title":"Le Raisin \u0026 l'Ange","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the small valleys of the middle Ardèche, where the limestone and basalt plateaus descend toward the Rhône, Gilles Azzoni began making wine without any additions in the year 2000. What he started as a personal conviction has become one of France's most quietly influential natural wine estates, passed now to his son Antonin, who inherited both the vines and the philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGilles Azzoni began farming organically at Mas de la Bégude in 1983, converting to natural vinification in the late 1990s after abandoning industrial methods. In 2000 he launched Le Raisin et l'Ange from Saint-Maurice-d'Ibie, making wines without sulfur, filtration, or any other addition, and joined the AVN (Association des Vins Naturels), France's leading natural winemakers group. In 2014, Gilles and his son Antonin transitioned the project to a négociant model, purchasing organic fruit from trusted neighbors in the southern Ardèche near Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. Antonin took over primary responsibility for the wines in 2015, with Gilles officially retiring after the 2023 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/le-raisin-lange\"\u003eLe Raisin \u0026amp; l'Ange producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hommage-a-robert-le-raisin-et-lange-natural-wine","title":"Le Raisin \u0026 l'Ange Hommage a Robert 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Raisin \u0026amp; l'Ange Hommage a Robert is a red natural wine made from a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Grenache grown in Ardeche, Southern France.
