AboutPeltier-Ravineau
Longtime friends Arthur Peltier and Achille Ravineau make wine together in Valaire. They leased five hectares of vines in 2021 and sold the grapes for two harvests while finding a cellar, making their first wines in 2023. Alongside fruit from their own farming, they regularly buy grapes from Domaine de Veilloux and Domaine de Cambalu.
The pair reports Ecocert organic certification for both vineyards and cellar, following a gradual conversion of the plots. White wines may ferment in tanks or barrels; reds may be made with whole bunches and aged in either vessel. Sulphur is added at bottling only when needed.

Gamay and Côt make this Vin de France red from the Loire Valley. After two years focused on farming, the growers began bottling their own wines from their project in Valaire. Their domaine covers five hectares, while some cuvées also use purchased fruit. Cellar vessels include fibreglass, old barrels and truncated wooden tanks, and pressing is handled with a vintage Vaslin press.

Sauvignon makes this fresh, organically certified Vin de France white. After two years focused on farming, the two growers began bottling their own wines, having studied viticulture and oenology in Beaune and gained experience with local and Burgundian mentors. Their five-hectare project is based in Valaire, near Cheverny, and works with limestone and flint soils. Cellar vessels include fibreglass, old barrels and truncated wooden tanks.

French White
$44.99
Fresh, dry and juicy, the wine carries transparent fruit with the crispness of Loire Sauvignon Blanc. Honeyed apple adds gentle volume, while white peach and nectarine appear with air. Sauvignon Blanc and Menu Pineau grow on sandy soils. The blend is lively and floral, with citrus detail and a fresh finish. Six months in fibreglass tank follow direct pressing and cold settling.
