👨🏼‍🌾 Red Wine made by Cyril Courvoisier.

A refreshing cuvée of Gamay from the northern Rhône Valley. Where? In Cornas, where Syrah is often known for its severity. No rough tannins here, even though this Gamay leans more towards black fruits and peppery spices (rather than its Beaujolais counterparts). The fruit is soft, indulgent, and incredibly accessible. Try it with a veal stew with morel mushrooms or, more simply, an aged Cantal cheese to be convinced.

Le domaine Cyril Courvoisier est un domaine viticole situé à Cornas, dans la vallée du Rhône, en Ardèche. Créé par Cyril Courvoisier, le domaine s'étend sur des parcelles en appellations Cornas, Saint-Péray et Saint-Joseph, nichées sur les pentes abruptes et les terrasses restaurées de la région. Cyril Courvoisier, passionné par la viticulture, a réhabilité des vignobles abandonnés depuis près d'un siècle en reconstruisant les murettes en pierre sèche et en réimplantant des cépages traditionnels comme la Syrah pour les rouges, et la Marsanne et la Roussanne pour les blancs. Le domaine est cultivé selon les principes de l'agriculture biologique, avec une attention particulière au bilan carbone et à la biodiversité. Les vins du domaine sont connus pour leur élégance et leur finesse, bénéficiant d'un élevage en fûts de chêne pendant 12 à 18 mois pour les rouges, ce qui leur confère complexité et profondeur. Les cuvées emblématiques incluent les Cornas, avec des notes épicées et poivrées, et les Saint-Péray, offrant une belle fraîcheur et minéralité. Le domaine est également engagé dans des pratiques durables et respectueuses de l'environnement, avec une philosophie de minimisation des intrants et de préservation de la qualité naturelle du terroir.

Who are we ?

Created in 2010, Vinograf was taken over in July 2024 by Clara & Baptiste. With their experience with Marée Haute, they work to perpetuate Vinograf's strong commitments: a careful selection of established or novice artisan winemakers, all driven by the concern for excellence in their practices, in the magnification of terroirs and the search for authenticity of taste.

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!
