👨🏼‍🌾 Rosé wine made by François Dumas.

François Dumas is now regarded as an authentic reference in organic farming, and his wines bear this mark — this rosé Gamay is no exception. In a hot vintage, he accomplishes the remarkable feat of creating a gastronomic cuvée, where the Gamay develops a much broader range of flavors than just red fruits (notably a delicious apricot-yogurt note). All of this results in a rosé that, even now, holds up quite well with aging potential. A must-try !

François Dumas, originaire de Véranne dans la Loire, a découvert sa passion pour la vigne en 2004 lors d'une saison chez Cuilleron. Initialement destiné à devenir professeur de sport, il a changé de voie pour suivre une formation en viticulture et œnologie, obtenant un BPREA à Tournon. Il a ensuite travaillé chez des vignerons renommés comme Jean-Louis Chave en Hermitage et Jean-Louis Trapet à Gevrey-Chambertin, où il a perfectionné ses compétences avant de se lancer en solo. En 2010, François s'est installé à Véranne et a produit son premier millésime. Trois ans plus tard, il a repris des parcelles à Saint-Joseph et Condrieu. Aujourd'hui, il cultive environ 4 hectares de vignes en culture biologique, avec une certification bio en cours. François est profondément engagé dans une viticulture biologique rigoureuse, influencée par des principes d'agriculture naturelle tels que ceux de Masanobu Fukuoka. Il évite les sols nus et expérimente diverses méthodes naturelles, souvent au détriment de la rentabilité immédiate. Le travail des sols se fait sans produits chimiques, et François privilégie les vinifications naturelles. Il utilise des levures indigènes pour la fermentation et limite l'utilisation de soufre à des niveaux très bas. Cette approche permet de produire des vins authentiques, reflétant fidèlement leur terroir. François Dumas incarne une nouvelle génération de vignerons, alliant tradition et innovation. Ses vins, marqués par une approche biologique rigoureuse et une vinification naturelle, offrent une redécouverte rafraîchissante des terroirs du Rhône Nord. Avec une production limitée mais de haute qualité, François continue de captiver les amateurs de vin avec ses cuvées sincères et élégantes. Son engagement envers des pratiques durables et respectueuses de l'environnement fait de lui un modèle dans le domaine de la viticulture biologique. En redécouvrant et en interprétant les terroirs du Rhône Nord, François apporte une contribution significative à la viticulture moderne. François Dumas se distingue par son dévouement à la qualité et à l'authenticité. Ses vins reflètent non seulement les caractéristiques uniques des parcelles qu'il cultive, mais aussi sa passion pour l'innovation et la tradition. Chaque bouteille est le résultat d'un travail minutieux et d'un profond respect pour la nature, faisant de ses cuvées des exemples remarquables de ce que peut offrir une viticulture biologique et naturelle.

Who are we ?

Created in 2010, Vinograf was taken over in July 2024 by Clara & Baptiste.

Several specifications correspond to these names. If we very often hear about sulphites, rightly accused of giving a headache, many other products can be used in the composition of so-called conventional wines.
Here is an overview of the different organic, biodynamic and natural specifications:
The organic specifications (AB label) prohibit any use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyards and in the winery. However, it allows some oenological crutches during winemaking. Sulfites, for example, are tolerated up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for whites.

In biodynamics (Demeter or Biodyvin label), the winemaker not only works without synthetic chemicals, but also takes into account the lunar calendar for all the operations he carries out. He will also use biodynamic preparations (fermented horn dung, silica, plant herbal tea, etc.) to strengthen the vines. Overall, the winegrower seeks to include the cultivation of the vine in a global environment. Sulphites can go up to 70 mg/L for reds and 90 mg/L for whites.

In natural wine (Vin Method Nature label), the specifications specify the use of organic grapes, fermenting naturally using native yeasts (as in biodynamics). Natural wines see no input during all vinification and aging. Only minimum doses of SO2 are permitted (30 mg/L maximum), and must be mentioned by the winemaker. No brutal filtration or wine alteration techniques are permitted. We also find the name SAINS Wines which aims to completely prohibit the use of sulphites.

We strive to offer you wines from artisan wines, from estates on a human scale and often family-owned. And that's why we take the time to travel across France from vineyard to vineyard in search of these natural wines that thrill us.
We are particularly keen to introduce you to the new winegrowers of tomorrow who work tirelessly to offer us magnificent wines.
We want to highlight them, and allow them to have greater, clearer visibility and wish to accompany them to you!
