Poivre d’Âne

Founded in 2013, Poivre d’Âne is a distinctive venture established by three friends who are passionate about natural winemaking. Unlike traditional wine merchants, Poivre d’Âne distinguishes itself through a rigorous selection process, closely collaborating with winemakers. This partnership focuses on identifying specific vineyard plots and grape varieties that meet their high standards, emphasizing the production of organic and natural wines. Central to Poivre d’Âne's philosophy is the commitment to producing "living wines" cuvées. This concept underscores their dedication to creating vibrant and expressive wines of their terroir. The company firmly opposes the use of chemicals in the winemaking process, emphasizing the utilization of natural yeasts on the grapes and maintaining minimal levels of sulfites. Poivre d’Âne's approach to winemaking is deeply rooted in organic and biodynamic farming practices. They work with a network of winemakers across Southern France, particularly in regions like Languedoc, Vallée du Rhône, and Provence. These areas are celebrated for their diverse and rich terroirs, forming the core of Poivre d’Âne's wine selection. Poivre d’Âne’s wine range showcases the best of Southern France's indigenous grape varieties. Their portfolio includes a variety of red and white wines, each reflecting the region's unique characteristics and grape type. These wines are known for their brightness, juciness, minerality, and pure profiles, making them suitable for various occasions and food pairings.
